theobromophileSources within the DNC are saying that the January 29 Democrat Primary may not count. Instead party activists and insiders would decide on some later date how to divvy up the state’s more than 200 delegates to the Democratic national convention.
“I think it’s much higher than 50-50 that we will make Jan. 29 a nonbinding” election, said Jon Ausman, a veteran Democratic organizer in Tallahassee and member of the Democratic National Committee.
Adam Smith in the St. Pete Times explains it this way:.
The confusion springs from the decision by Florida lawmakers to move the state’s primary from March to January. The move scrambled the carefully arranged schedule that both national parties had laid out for the primaries, aimed at giving a more diverse group of states say in the early nominating process.
National Democrats have particularly strict penalties for violating the schedule they set. Now they are looking at imposing penalties, including forfeiting any nominating delegates from Florida, that have some in the party worried the Democratic presidential candidates might wind up all but ignoring Florida.
I’m just loving this. Heh.

Henh.
I mentioned this to Swampie a few weeks ago, when they were discussing moving the primary.
For the DNC to get so snippy about who goes when just doesn’t make any sense. Surely they can alter their travel plans, and pandering speeches in short order.
Gotsta toe dat line, if you want to be a good Dhimmi.
I know you are loving this, and what rational person wouldn’t?
But I am completely in love with this story. I just can’t get enough of it!
Do I see a clean Iraq Funding Bill coming down the hall? I think…yes, it must be!
ooo, that’s a good un
Oh, on that story, the number is wrong. It’s a fifteen percent drop in congresses approval rating, in just under a month. That ain’t no thud you hear, but a crash and burn.
Hee-Hee!
I think Nan needs to take another road trip, and Harry needs to declare defeat a few more times.
I agree!
It’s clearly working so well for them. That, and the fact that they have accomplished nothing legislatively in their first one hundred days in control of Congress. So with nothing to show but some ridiculous hearings, attacks on President Bush and his admin, they want to shift gears and bring up the debate over the Fairness Doctrine. Since they are such proponents of free speech, they want to silence their critics.
Yep, good job congress critters, keep up the good work.
I wonder what demeaning method of dress SanFranNan will chose, when she decides to visit Hugo?
Do you think they have chador shops in SanFran? I’m thinking they do, what with all the rabid Palestinian types out there. So she could probably pop into Aisha’s Chador shop before she goes to visit Ahmadamdingdong. Personally, I don’t think she needs to, as her feminine curves and hair rays couldn’t possibly inspire any prurient thoughts, even for President Mahmoud MonkeyBoy.
Hi boys and girls.
Funny how none of you noticed that moving up the primary date to January 29th was done by the Goper dominated Florida legislature. The head Gopers in charge knew full well what the DNC penalties were for going before February 5th.
BTW – the RNC is going to penalize the RPF too. Maybe you want to blog about that?
The FL legislature takes their marching orders directly from Rove. Didn’t you get the memo?
Funny how election rules suddenly mean something to the donks.
Henh, well the rules matter, but then they don’t, if you know what I mean.
Everybody knows the Florida legislature is in the pocket of the VRWC, everybody!
That any national party should get their knickers in a twist over which state goes first, second, or last just doesn’t make any sense to me, nor do I care. The state parties seem to think it matters that they play a more significant role in selecting the nominee, which is fine, as I never understood why New Hampshire was any kind of gauge of what America thinks, unless you are a liberal…or a colonialist tradition devotee. What Florida has to say about their nominee is far more important than what NH or Iowa, as it has the same number of electoral college votes as New York.
It doesn’t really matter, as Texas is considering moving their primary up ahead of Florida. HA! The DNC just wants to exert control over all state parties, that’s all.
/toe’dat’line…donkeys
Right. The Florida Democratic leadership fought this tooth and nail, and….oh, wait. They didn’t.
But don’t take my word for it.
Huh. Guess the Democrats were all absent that day or something.
