Florida Democrats to be left out of Democrat Primary

Link

Florida Democrats would forfeit their votes in selecting a presidential nominee unless they delay their state election by at least a week, the national party said in a stern action Saturday meant to discourage others from leapfrogging ahead to earlier dates.

The Florida party has 30 days to submit an alternative to its planned Jan. 29 primary or lose its 210 delegates to the nominating convention in Denver next summer.

Isn't that great? I wonder if Flordians will remember this for the general election.

Party rules say states cannot hold their 2008 primary contests before Feb. 5, except for Iowa on Jan. 14, Nevada on Jan. 19, New Hampshire on Jan. 22 and South Carolina on Jan. 29.

So basically the national Democratic party likes to discriminate with stupid rules? My suggestion would be for the national Democratic party to run its own elections, pay for their own polling machines, and set their own date. Otherwise shut up and let the people paying for the election make up their own minds when to hold it.
