Oh, how ugly this will get. Jeremy Ring has said since Obama won't campaign here, he won't vote for him.

Earth to Jeremy...you started the whole damn thing by introducing the bill along with Republicans.

So let's take it from the top. You pushed the bill, Gelber and Geller laughed their February 5th amendments off the floor and said oh no don't vote for our amendment...we just wanted to have something to show the DNC later.

Then all of you decided to send out press releases blaming everyone but yourselves. But that wasn't enough. You sent out emails asking people to stop donations to the DNC.

Unfortunately people are still yelling the DNC stole their votes. That is a lie you really need to fix.

Oh, and Jeremy Ring, shame shame on you.

Florida Politics Blog



Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards have signed a pledge card not to campaign in Florida in the Democratic primary due to the January 29th date and Florida stands to irrelevant in the Democratic Primary.

Top Democrat's are not taking this lying down however. State Senator Jeremy Ring, a Broward County Democrat who joined Republicans in pushing for a January 29th primary date has withdrawn his endorsement of Senator Barack Obama. Senate Democratic Leader Steve Geller says, "Any candidate that boycotts Florida and thinks that they will raise money here will be sadly disappointed" and top Democratic fund raiser prominent Jacksonville trial lawyer Wayne Hogan phoned Howard Dean last week to cancel a DNC fund raiser.

The sad thing about this whole fiasco is that while Democrat's fight over a primary date and refuse to campaign in the state, Republicans are actively holding events through the state boosting their name recognition for the general election. Democrat's must unite, they must win Florida and the primary system must be revamped. November 2008, the Presidential nominee's will not be in South Carolina or Nevada, they will be in Florida, the candidates should be here in January of '08 as well earning the votes and trust of Florida voters.


How dare they threaten our candidates!! How dare they. These are the guys who gave press releases to blame the DNC...while all the while the DNC had the transcripts of their shenanigans.

Stop it. Grow up. Florida is just one state among many.
