I am going to respond to all of your lies regarding Florida. Why?? Because I live here!

We had a very important ammendment on our ballot on January 29th. It was a yes/no vote to double the homestead exemption. Because people in this state wanted to do something about taxes, they voted for the ammendment. At the same time, those of us that are Democrats had a decision to vote for who we wanted as our nominee. The Democrats in Florida voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton. Every Democrat was on the ballot - from Biden to Richardson, even though they all dropped out before the 29th. More Democrats voted than Republicans. Those votes should count. No matter who won (and I think this would not be going around right now if Obama would have won Florida - but he didn't).

And yes, there was an ad on TV for Obama. Yes, it was on in Florida. Yes, that is a violation. But, because it was a nationwide ad (something he did calculated in my opinion), there was no violation. Why did he buy an ad the week of the Florida Primary if he didn't want it to air in Florida?????????

I'll say it again - please let the votes count in Florida . . . we deserve it after all we have been through all these years.
