DEL.ICIO.USFight over Michigan, Florida delegates moves to Atlanta
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Democratic fight over convention delegates from Michigan and Florida is moving to Atlanta on Monday.
Oral arguments for a lawsuit filed by Tampa political consultant Victor DiMaio against the Democratic National Committee will be heard before the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
The St. Pete Times quotes DiMaio’s attorney, Michael Steinberg, as saying this:
“This was not fair to ordinary average Florida citizens. They had no say-so over when the election was scheduled,” Steinberg said. “What the Democratic Party is saying is that the rights of citizens of four states (Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina) are paramount to the rights of the citizens of the state of Florida.”

I am from a small island, and I am shocked that this great country could have such a wayward system for selecting a candidate to vie for such an important office.

Dang, are these folks cousins to the Bush vs. Gore debacle. I think we should just take the vote away Fla. They just play too many games or maybe give the state back to Spain.

That is CRAP. What about MY rights in GA? If any state can schedule any election any time we want then we’ll be having primaries 10 years before the election.
