On Tweety, Charlie Crist seems to strain so hard to understand questions--hilarous! Crist keeps
Edited on Thu Mar-06-08 05:34 PM by flpoljunkie
talking about the "record turnout in Florida"--when Florida and Michigan are two of the four states where Republican turnout exceeded Democratic turnout! That's right--the other two were the Mormons voting for Mitt in Utah and John McCain's Arizona constituents!

Charlie Crist does know that his purposes gel perfectly with Bill Nelson's--both are asking to seat the delegates according to our "beauty contest" primary that the DNC ruled would not count or else have the DNC pay for another primary--which they know will not happen!

Tweety did totally understand the politics of this move by Crist and Bill Nelson--even though he said he thought Crist was a "good guy."

Florida and Michigan knowingly broke the rules and have to accept the consequences.

2. This is pure bullshit; The rules were being discuss FL and MI didn't give a shit about anything
but their own states. Now they want to do this over and its going to cost more money than just paying for the election. Why should Obama have to spend money he could use in the GE because they were assholes.

4. The repubs knew they were screwing with us when they rammed the bill through and Crist signed it.

5. You Can Characterize It That Way
As someone who has lived here for nearly forty years and knows how tenuous rank and file Democrats devotion to their party is I suspect they see Charlie C(h)rist as defending their right to vote...They don't watch Hardball...

8. As someone whose family settled in Florida in the 1850's, I call bullsh*t on your post!

Why do you think Florida and Michigan voters voted in lesser numbers than Republicans--because they knew their Democratic legislators had screwed up and turned our primary into a meaningless beauty contest.

Only two more states had more Republicans vote in their primaries than Democrats--Utah and Arizona.
