#1 "If [party leaders] go to the Democratic convention and they stiff-arm the Florida delegation, how in the world do you think Floridians are going to support the Democratic nominee on [Election Day] November 4?"

With the usual blind, mindless enthusiasm of course.

#3 Hillary putting the squeeze on the Dems. nelson's an ally - he knows they will not pay for it so that means reinstatelment of the delegates. Meaning Hillary gets enough to win.

#5 Imagine this: Hillary decides she should pay for the Dem re-vote in Michigan, because B.O. wasn't on the original ballot, so it wouldn't really be fair for her to get all the delegates, and besides, the people should choose.

Then, B.O. says he'll pay for the second election in Florida, becasue it's important for the voice of the people to be heard.

Actually, the only way out of this, not that I think it'll happen, is the wackos that voted to hold the primaries early, in violation of the rules, should pay for a vote that does count. That's less likely than the other two dreams/nightmares.

#6 That's right. If the little chirping monkey Howard Dean wants to create a mess, let him pay to clean it up.I hope this becomes a hot Demo topic for the next two months. Haha !

#9 I'm feeling contrarian today. Must be the rain.

The republican legislature and governor in Florida are to be congratulated for maneuvering Dean and the DNC into a position where they shot themselves in the foot. How they are escaping blame for this in the MSM is beyond me.

The best solution here is for George Soros to offer to pay for the primary and then endorse bHo.

#10 How they are escaping blame for this in the MSM is beyond me.

Too late NS, thats been the Dem talking point for some time now. Problem is there are a couple of monkeys in that wrench. The muckity-mucks in the Florida Democratic Party not only co-sponsored the legislation they argued for it quite forcibly. The other little inconvenient detail is no one carped about it until this cluster-fuck became inevitable
