Dean: we won't pay for it.
Obama: ban Florida delegates, ignore vote.
Hillary: An individual may contribute a maximum of $2,300 per election (the primary and general are separate elections). Thank you and have a nice day, Florida.
This is the party which brayed the loudest about Theresa LePore and the butterfly ballots, but here they are setting up Florida once again.
| Sen. Bill Nelson: Florida ought to have primary do-over By TAMARA LYTLE Orlando Sentinel March 7, 2008 | U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, Florida's top elected Democrat, threw his weight Thursday behind a new presidential-primary vote in hopes that the state's votes will be counted toward the Democratic presidential nomination... But Dean stuck to his hard line, appearing on numerous television shows to say Florida has only two options: a do-over contest before the party's deadline of June 10, or asking the convention credentials committee to seat the delegates. Asked whether the DNC would pay for a do-over — a new primary, mail-in ballot or caucus — Dean said no. "Of course not," he said on CBS' The Early Show. "We can't afford to do that. That's not our problem. You know, we need our money to win the presidential race." ...But the Obama camp made it clear it would not support seating Florida's delegates based on the Jan. 29 vote. |
Hold onto your wallets, Florida. Prepare for the worst.
