Is today's FLA vote = to an MLB spring training exhibition game? Nobody really cares who won.

Some on DU are suggesting the vote actually means something relevant.

After all the votes are tallied tonight; the delegate count will = zero for every Dem on the FLA ballot.

Another DNC/FLA squabble comes home to roost.

It sure as hell was not a true and representative primary. In other words, how do you count all the Dems in FLA who DID NOT VOTE because their vote would not count?

Today's FLA vote reminds of an MLB exhibition game in spring training - different strategy than a real game, different outcome because you don't play all the regulars, and nobody gives a shit about the score.

1. trouble with refering to it as an exhibition game

is that in an exhibition game - players actually play...

Here we just have a possible case of being "gamed" period...

2. That Obamtons are working oh so hard to discount this tells me they are worried about it impact.

Not on actual delegates but on momentum going into Feb 5th.

4. IMO the number of Dem and Repug votes are close enough to mean Florida is an open race. The vote

also suggests BO would lose Florida by a large margin if he were the Dem candidate.

Florida is a key state for winning the general election and IMO BO would have a struggle to win without Florida.
