What Florida has done:

[PurityOfEssence]

They have taken a dump in our dinner and then expected us to wipe their ass, zip them up, and then pay for and deliver them a fine meal of their own choosing to replace what they've so sadly lost.

Thanks.

What a deplorable mess.

Dean did the right thing, and now it'll be some version of something wrong.

Who does this benefit, this selfish, greedy childishness? The children themselves, and it will stand as a further precedent to just do as one damn well pleases.

I feel sorry for the voters of Florida being saddled with such repulsive politicians, and I feel sorry for both of the candidates for having to contend with this.

Michigan's effectively the same.

Great, now we've richly rewarded solipsism and rebellion; what next?

1. LIve from WPB. The delegates will not be seated!!! (BTW: eat me)

Clinton was actually even more brazen than Lieberman. Not only did she lie about her record, she actually went on the offensive attacking Obama over the very trade deal she has long championed, "rais doubts about whether he was committed to reworking NAFTA," as the AP noted. To use the Lieberman-Lamont analogy, that's would be like Lieberman not only pretending to be against the war, but actually attacking Lamont for not opposing the war more strongly. Even Lieberman wasn't cravenly dishonest enough to do that - but Clinton was.

Hillary Clinton no longer a Dem, it's time she learned the Zell Miller rule.

2. Fuck off with this bogus Zell Miller comparison, kiddo

Clinton is more a Democrat than this rhetoric-filled empty suit will ever hope to be.

One way or another, Florida and Michigan will be seated at the convention, to the detriment of the O-Bot campaign.

3. Excuse me, I'm a Floridian, and I don't want to vote again

Charlie Crist is asking for the vote to be redone, in the hopes of getting a few more delegates for H. Clinton. There's not 1 Republican that doesn't want Hillary to win the Dem nomination.

4. I don't really see a "fair" scenario at this point, do you?

What an unholy mess.

Not having been there, I can't tell how fair the distribution between Obama and Clinton is, and now that there's no Edwards vote, that further skews it. Obama's commercials that played there were probably an honest mistake, but this is just another example of the lack of congruity all around.

The choice being narrowed now presents a much different contest than before, and, of course, there has to be some kind of "fairness" with the other idiots, Michigan.

I feel for you guys, and I really feel for someone like Madfloridian who's had the ethical underpinning to be vocal about this early on, taking all sorts of guff and hooey along the way.

It seems that seating the delegates for non-nomination votes only still seems like the only fair and constructive thing to do, but even that's a bad solution.
