Obama should trade bowling shoes for Mickey ears

Some say that before Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama sets foot in Florida in a couple of weeks, he needs to make a full-throated call for the national party to count the state's delegates at the nominating convention.

But after watching him boycott the nation's largest battleground state for nine months and dismiss our presidential primary as meaningless, I'm looking for more than lip service.
