Hillary joins Florida boycott

The Democratic frontrunner in Florida, Hillary Clinton, has joined a presidential candidate boycott of Florida, which violated Democratic National Committee rules when it moved up its primary to Jan. 29. The boycott was pushed onto the candidates by four smaller states with early primaries.

"We believe Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina play a unique and special role in the nominating process,'' said Clinton campaign manager Patti Sollis Doyle. "And we believe the DNC’s rules and its calendar provide the necessary structure to respect and honor that role. Thus, we will be signing the pledge to adhere to the DNC approved nominating calendar."

Florida Dems, let's play connect the dots. Who made this primary date change a legislative priority this past session (aside from Sen. Ring)?

Marco Rubio

Who does Marco revere and is regarded as the sucessor to his legacy?

Jeb Bush

Who is the brother of who?

President Bush

Who is advised in all matters pertaining to GOP by whom?

Karl Rove

Let's start thinking about who the real enemy is and what the end result is of this primary BS. Florida is still a swing state and right now the Dems are losing their advantage here!

It's time for all Florida Democrats to sit on their wallets. I'm not ready to switch parties but, the way things are going, Mike Huckabee certainly might end up getting my vote in the January primary. Yes, that's right. I may go to the R side because of all of this.

In the meantime, no money will go from me to the DNC, the DCCC, the DSCC or any campaign that is boycotting Florida. In fact, I just sent back (unopened) a fundraising letter from Elizabeth Edwards. I marked "Count Florida!" and "Return to Sender" on the envelope. I urge you to do the same.

Very disappointing for the Liberal set. The 'Socialist in Chief" won't be around to pour her Kool-Aid for the masses. Look for sales of Zanax to go through the ceiling...

Moronic leaders.Power, influence, money and vanity has led to idiocy and corruption in decision making.Give power to a person and you can see what they really stand for.We are all in trouble, we need to replace all who voted for the war and the new voting law. Anyone in office over 8 years needs to be replaced in 2008.
