This is a really cool story. What you think?


WASHINGTON - The national Democratic Party decided Saturday to strip Florida of its delegates to the party's national convention because of the state's primary on Jan. 29, earlier than party rules allow.

The action by the national party's rules committee gives state Democrats 30 days to come up with an alternate plan for picking their delegates that doesn't depend on the vote in the primary, which doesn't seem likely.

If they don't, under Saturday's action, Florida would have no delegates at the National Democratic Convention in Denver next August.

There is probably more to this story and I believe that PBC would have something to say if he is still here.

That's the downside of officially being in a party. They make you jump through hoops. I don't know much about party rules so it's no big deal to me.

I believe Florida would lose 210 or so delegates to the convention if they do not do what they are told, that could be significant in the nomination process.

The whole nomination process is being screwed up by states changing the dates of their primaries.
