Madfloridian's Journal - Vic DiMaio's "blood is boiling". He is suing Dean, and will get injunction to stop do-over.

He really needs to calm down a little. His lawsuit was dimissed by a Tampa court, but will be heard on March 17 in an Atlanta appellate court. He wants to take it all the way to the Supreme Court. He wants his lawsuit to determine the election.

"We have been impatiently waiting for the Appeals Court to grant us this hearing considering the fact that time is running out if we have to appeal our case to the United States Supreme Court if the Florida Delegation is still shut out of the convention in August at the same time the Supreme Court takes its annual recess" according to Mr. DiMaio.

But there is more. He has said he will file an injunction to stop any revote in Florida.

Primary Scramble

By Associated Press
A Florida man who sued national Democrats over the loss of Florida's delegates to the national convention this summer says he'll fight to block any kind of do-over primary in Florida.

Victor DiMaio says his blood is boiling over the Democratic National Committee's decision to strip Florida of all its delegates because the state moved up its primary date against party rules.

He filed a federal lawsuit against the DNC last year. Now that suit will advance to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals on March 17th.

DiMaio calls it a travesty if the votes of Democrats in the January 29th presidential primary don't count.

There is no telling what is going to come of the mess they have created here. Florida Democrats worked with the GOP to get this early primary bill through. They ignored pleadings from the DNC and Dean, and just went ahead. They voted 115 to 1.

Messes like this happen when donkeys go to far, when they overreach.

Senator Steve Geller from the Florida Democratic Convention. His button says Size DOES Matter, one of the several things they did to put down Dean and the smaller states.

The voters in Florida and Michigan have been screwed, but not by the DNC. They were screwed by their shortsighted state party leaders.

With apologies to Aesop:

A donkey with an apple in its mouth once walked across a bridge. In the pond below, it thought it saw another donkey with a bigger, redder apple. The donkey reached down for the reflection of its apple, and dropped the real apple instead.

Moral: that’s what happens when jackasses overreach.

When you are motivated by greed, things don't always work out so well. If they had kept their original early March primary they could have been powerful indeed.
