		<description>Based on what I heard on the news, the committee doesn&#039;t have the power to actually strip the delegates; this vote was only on whether to recommend the delegates be stripped.  Actually stripping them will require a floor vote at the nominating convention.

If that&#039;s the case, it will be interesting to see if the Dems vote to actually strip the delegates, particularly since by the time the vote occurs all of the primaries will be over.  They may just take the stance of trying to look like they&#039;re putting down their foot without actually doing anything about it.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;it was the Republican controlled legislature and a Republican governor who passed the primary date change into law.&lt;/i&gt;

Good point. The Floridems are in an unusual bind here - they can&#039;t abide by both state law and DNC rules even if they wanted to.</description>

		<description>It is becoming increasingly apparent that what is good for America ranks far down the list of imperatives for both political parties.  America should face the fact that what both parties are about is gaining power for the sole purpose of controlling the spending of the nation&#039;s tax wealth -- and for their own particular partisan purposes.  

It is enough to make thinking citizens puke!!  Jefferson was correct: &quot;a little revoluion now and then IS a good thing!</description>

		<description>ANDERSON:  As the Florida Masochist said:  Both houses and the Governor are Republican.  How come no one mentions that the bill that changed the date of the primary also contained, as it&#039;s most important provision, for a paper trail for all votes.  I know. this is a minor exclusion from your &quot;rational&quot; dissection of Democrats.  This was a loaded bill to try to make Democrats look bad either way they voted.

  Whats sad about Florida, and especially all the southern states is that the tail is walking the dog when it comes to Southern politics and their influence on the Electoral College.

  Lets get this out in the open.  The Dems controlled pre 1948 southern politics because that&#039;s where the racists wanted to hang out.  Good ole boy Strom Thurman was the first break between southern Dems and the rest of the country&#039;s Democrats.
  Is it just coincidental that after the Civil Rights Act of 1964, so many southern Democratic officials started to go to the Republican party, and that by 1972 the southern states were now Republican?  I think not.  The racists left the Democratic party and joined the Republican party, and took all of their sickies with them.  That&#039;s why the Republicans control the southern vote.  And don&#039;t give me the excuse that the Dems have lost contact with what is important to southerners.  Maybe they just opened their eyes a little and realized that southern politics wants the glory days of the Pre Civil War era where white is white, and black is black, and each knew where they stood in the big scheme of things in the south.

  That&#039;s my opinion of Southern Republicans.  When you scream back at me, try using other theories instead of name calling, which Repugs sure enjoy doing!!</description>
