Revote question (5.00 / 2) (#2)
by MMW on Wed Mar 05, 2008 at 09:03:40 AM EST
I don't understand the proposal to redo Florida. They were both on the ballot - neither campaigned, therefore equal footing - why not seat them as is?

Michigan I understand. Since only one was on the ballot there. But I don't understand why Florida needs a revote.

Yes, but (5.00 / 1) (#3)

It's not just about selecting the nominee, it about keeping the party together. There's an argument for seating Florida as is, but the party needs to make certain that the voters see it as legitimate. A re-vote makes that easier, if they can resolve eligibility isues.

Any re do must correct the orginal rules (5.00 / 1) (#122)

Violations across the board all States that moved up should suffer.  Fla is different because it was the Republican Legislature that moved up the Primary and the State Party did follow the appropriate rules of notification to the DNC and should never have been stripped period and I would suggest to you Dean and Brazile did not have the power to do so and Fla may really be a none issue as the have every right to be counted and seated.

Didn't see your comment before posting your exact sentiments on the FL revote.
