One of the things I agree with Chris Bowers (at least I think it was him) on is that if the Democratic nominee loses in November, the entire leadership of the party should step down because in addition to being a failure by the candidate, it would be a failure by the party.  This is a prime example of that.

However, the poll contains hints that suggest the controversy over Florida's convention delegates may be hurting Obama. Most notably, just 55% of Sunshine State Democrats say they would vote for Obama over McCain. Thirty-one percent (31%) say they would vote for McCain. These results are especially striking given that Obama leads McCain among unaffiliated voters in the state.

Florida was stripped of its seats at the Democratic National Convention as a penalty for holding its Primary before February 5. The candidates did not campaign in the state and Hillary Clinton handily won the popular vote. Now, Clinton is calling for the Florida delegates to be seated while Obama disagrees.

The survey also shows that McCain leads Obama by twenty-six points among women. Women are Hillary Clinton's strongest demographic. McCain leads Obama by twenty-five points among Senior Citizens, another demographic group that is generally supportive of Clinton.

In effect, the party has self-selected into defeat, "Dr." Dean, Donna Brazile, Bob Shrum, et al, being the poster children for the syndrome.

I am so ticked off at them I , I'm seeing "red".  

What a bunch of nitwits for voting not to seat Florida and Michigan delegates - two states we need in the general election.

Also, they know that there is going to be a bloodbath at the convention.  

I also predict that McCain will win in a landslide if it's Obama.  Those Florida numbers are just the beginning.  The South, and the midwest will be solidly McCain - Florida included.
And that's before the party is split at the convention.
