Florida Dems Reject Re-Voting

'It's Simply Not Possible for the State to Hold Another Election, Even If the Party Were to Pay for It' - Florida Dem Chair

Share article:

Guest blogged by Jon Ponder, Pensito Review.

So now what?

The Florida Democratic Party said this afternoon it won’t pursue a do-over of its contested primary, putting the dispute squarely in the lap of the Democratic National Committee’s rules committee next month.

Florida officials had floated the idea last week of a mail-in vote, but questions quickly arose about its logistics and fairness. The consensus from thousands of Democrats is against a revote, Representative Karen L. Thurman, the state party’s chairwoman, says in a letter to Democrats.

“A party-run primary or caucus has been ruled out, and it’s simply not possible for the state to hold another election, even if the Party were to pay for it,” Thurman writes.

    YES!! I salute you, Floridiot! Dead on, yet again.
    Since our last exchange I’m pleased to see THURMAN FINALLY getting some heat. She just released this statement sometime yesterday:

    “We made a detailed case to the DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee, but we were denied. Our Democratic legislators in Tallahassee tried to set the Florida primary on Feb. 5, instead of Jan. 29, but of course, their proposed amendment to House Bill 537 was greeted with laughter and derision from the Republicans who control the state government. “

    …did she, now? I don’t seem to remember her saying diddly-doo, at the time! Did she, or didn’t she OBJECT to the Republican Legislature’s attempt to undermine the DNC bylaws…? Asking around, but haven’t heard an answer on this one, yet…

    So now, Dean officiates a private negotiation between Clinton and Obama camp representatives.

    Clinton steadfastly refuses any agreement that doesn’t give her an advantage, then blames Obama for his intractability.

    Then we all have PTSD/LSD/Chicago1967 flashbacks in the streets of Denver, starring the cast of the WTO Seattle Police Riots… Convention ’08 Abby Returns.

    Then when the people’s will is properly usurped, we have ten weeks… TEN SHORT WEEKS, of abject despair before FOUR MORE YEARS, courtesy of Diebold.

    Won’t that be fun, my Brethren?

    signed,
    Sweetness and Light

    Funny Jeannie, this guy claiming to be Karl Rove in the comments over on The Buzz at TBO.com knows the score, LMAO

    I told you pinheads a long time ago”¦ Howeird Dunce and Karupt Thurmadrunk will blow ’08 for the Democrats. Dunce does not have the intellect to handle this, and Thurmadrunk is on the GOP’s payroll.

    What’s more; the Clinton minions will steal this from Obama, cause an incompetent McAmnesty to win the White House, and turn millions of Democrats into Independents in one fell swoop.

    Exactly as we planned it, I’d say!

    Love,

    Karl Rove

    Cynicism RULES!!!
