Madfloridian's Journal - Dean told not to plan a vacation in Florida.

This is getting embarrassing as hell. They are the ones who are ruining our election hopes and dreams with lawsuits and very very late mail-in primaries.

They should be objects of ridicule.

Meet Steve Geller, who was instrumental in getting the early primary.

That button he is wearing at the state convention says Size DOES matter.

Here is what Steve Geller said today, after a whole week of Florida screwing things up again.

The prospect of again being in the glaring headlights of political controversy is not lost on state Democratic politicos. "This could be another example of Democrats snatching defeat out of the hands of victory," says Senator Geller, who has gone toe-to-toe with the DNC for months. Says McManus, "If I were Howard Dean, I don't think I'd plan a Florida vacation."

Susan McManus is not a neutral really. She is used as the main authority on everything Florida, yet she is a Republican at heart, a Jeb one.

Geller is right. This state may help us do just that. Snatch defeat from victory.

The Race to Revote in Florida

What is it like being a perpetual punch-line? Florida has known the feeling ever since the Presidential election debacle of 2000. And now, it has the creeping feeling that the joke may be on it again as it tries to figure out how to get its delegates seated in the Democratic convention.

..."The options for Florida Dems seems to have boiled down to two. Let the results of its renegade Jan. 29 primary stand or, as Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean proposes, pay for a privately administered mail-in primary to replace the results of the earlier "unsanctioned" vote. (In January, the state had bucked DNC rules and set its own earlier primary date. The DNC cracked down, forbidding candidates to raise funds or campaign for that vote; furthermore, its 210 delegates would not be seated at the convention.)

Geller said more:

But the debacle is far from over. Democratic members of the Florida House of Representatives have released a statement saying that they are "opposed to a mail-in campaign or any redo of any kind." On Wednesday, Geller reiterated that Florida's delegates be seated and released a poll of 600 Florida democrats that found that one in four would not vote for the Democratic nominee for president if Florida was disenfranchised. "A Democratic nominee for president will not win in this state if our votes are not counted and it will cause tremendous damage to our congressional candidates," Geller said.

Yeh, Steve, Bill Nelson threatened that also. He said Floridians would not vote unless they got what they wanted.

Yesterday was the date of the original primary. Think about what could have been.
