It appears that the good folks in Michigan and Florida are poised to heed some good advice and reschedule their primaries. There is no reason that the millions of Democrats that reside in both of these crucial states should be disenfranchised for failing to follow arcane party rules.

Holy Hanging Chads, Batman!!
I agree with your advice there’s no reason Florida’s and Michigan’s Democratic voters should be penalized.
But however arcane those party rules are, the Democratic National Committee warned both states they would be stripped of all their delegates if they held early primaries.
What should have been more material to the outcome of the 2000 election in Florida than the hanging chads debacle was the disenfranchisement of twenty thousand black voters in Duval County who were turned away at the polls.
Vince: DNC be damned!! No political party organization should be in the position of determining what a voter’s rights are. This whole business is again distilling down to a group of ‘political fat cats’ in the back room deciding who the ‘electorate’s’ choice will be. That very thing was operating in the mattered of 2000 which you cited. SOMEBODY saw to it that THOSE PEOPLE would not vote.
We really need a serious grass roots movement to bury the Electoral College system.
I favor the burying of the Electoral College system, and direct democracy over the phony democracy of the plutocratic republic of lobbyism we have now.
D__, there were state troopers at the doors in certain precincts (guess which ones) to turn voters away, and statewide, there were higher than average spoiled ballots, bloated purge lists, and rejected ballots in counties with more black voters.
I was only surprised that Jeb Bush didn’t put on blackface and cry for dramatic effect.
Dkdn’t have to. He had that dork bimbo waiting in the wings to do it for him. Talk about being launched into political obscurity!!!
Blah Blah what is this Poop

will give this up and I don’t think there will actually be a missed season, so I think most likely this is the case and Sam Bradford might go down in NFL history with the richest rookie contract.
