4. It can only help momentum, but their delegates don't count

:(

[Lone_Star_Dem]

5. Yeah, that was my first thought on reading this, too. n/t

[whatdoyouthink]

6. Maybe

Why the power (S) to be moved it up - he will do strong in the South

[bonito]

8. It's also a closed primary state as well

I for one never changed my party affiliation to vote Dem from Indy because of the delegate loss.

[ellenfl]

20. i don't care . . . i'm a florida primary voter for edwards. it's not over

until the fat lady sings . . . and i'm not singing yet. :evilgrin: i understand that edwards is staying in the race until the convention, so anything can happen. after all, who knows who the biden and dodd voters will back now?

i believe how we vote in the primaries WILL count, even if our delegates get blocked.

22. "It's not over until the fat lady sings."

:cringe:

[ellenfl]

27. why 'cringe'? have you not heard this expression before? eom

[Le Taz Hot]

30. Yes, and in most circles it's

considered offensive.

[ellenfl]

34. oh, please! eom

[flyarm]

7. look folks before the convention whoever the candidate is is not going to keep fla delegates out..

or Michigans!..too big a block of delegates!

IT IS GOING TO MATTER ..who Florida supports and who Michigan supports!

and for a very long ti me the Fl Dem party has been shoving Hillary down our throats..i guess it is no longer working with the voting dems!!..to see this on the east coast of Fl is big..very big!!

[greytdemocrat]

17. Thanks for the welcome.

I recently moved to the St. Louis area from Manatee county.

I loved FL (10 years there) but lost my IT job and couldn't find
another in over 6 months.

But my sweetheart is up here in St. Louis and we just got married
so all is good! And I found an excellent IT job up here in nothing
flat.

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. Hi new guy!

:hi:

[ellenfl]

21. welcome to du! eom

[sojourner]

16. Go, Johnny, GO!!!

18. Good news. n/t

[never_get_over_it]

23. I live in a very RED part of Florida

I'm not sure if John Edwards can carry Florida in the general election but I can guarantee you Barack Obama most assuredly can not....I'm not so sure that Hillary can carry it in the general either.

When I moved here I registered as an independent because I was afraid if I registered as a Dem my vote would not be counted - still not sure if it is counted - anyway I changed my party affiliation on 12/31 with just hours left to do so - so on 1/29 I will be an Edward's primary voter - now if they seat Florida or not I'm not sure but not seating the delegates is STUPID.....

My feeling is Hillary is likely to do well here in the primary - seems like she is quite popular with older women.....however the turnout is likely to be low - so who knows.....

[flyarm]

26. if Iowa is any reflection..the reds are going to stay home and not vote!!

they are hiding in their shame!! and don't want to be seen!!

or have to admit what their criminals in this white house have done to our nation...they are going back under their rocks!!


where they belong!!

[Octafish]

24. Kick for the guy who'll kick the crooks out of the White House!

Thanks for the heads-up, flyarm!

[EFerrari]

25. Kick for John.

:kick:

[Justice Is Comin]

28. We need to encourage independents

to vote heavily for McCain in NH and not Obama. They just might do that and ruin Obama's day.

[bear425]

29. Hey Fly, so are our delegates going to count?

I'm not in Fl, but I have asked for an absentee ballot.

edit: speeeellling

[RagingInMiami]

31. That is big news because they've been telling us down here that Hillary and Giuliani are the ones

[Blackhatjack]

32. This is GOOD NEWS indeed!

[KoKo]

35. K&R!

[book_worm]

36. this is a waste of time poll since nobody will pay any attention to it.

[tomreedtoon]

37. Duuuh! Florida doesn't HAVE a primary! Or a Democratic party!

I keep repeating this, and none of you guys understand it. The entity known as "The Florida Democratic Party" is a branch of the Florida Republican party. And that's why there will be no primary in Florida and no Florida delegates to the convention. The Republicans decided to end the sham at last.

Will you guys finally get a clue and stop talking about Florida primaries? You're better talking about compassionate conservativism, which is no less imaginary but which some people believe is real.
