Allen, <<This business of saying that Howard Dean or the Democratic Party is disenfranchising Florida and Michigan voters is starting to wear thin. The Party made up rules. Members of the party had input in the rule-making process. Once decdied on, the rules were made known to everyone.>> I will respectfully disagree with some of what you say. Yes the rules were known. But how does this whole thing play out for the voters in Michigan and Florida? To me, it looks like the Dems are disenfranchising their voters in those states. And if memory serves me correctly, it was Obama's people who were the most obstructionist in reaching some type of compromise to allow a solution to the whole debacle. I wonder if that will wear thin with the voters in Michigan and Florida? Now I lay this whole problem in Howard Dean's lap. If he provided adequate leadership, I don't think we would be in the place we are at now in this regard. Maybe now he will be forced to make a decision instead of hoping that a resolution to this mess will fall into his lap. Neal

Howard Dean is dragging his feet and not working to get revotes in those states. FLA is more important to me, much more, than MI because I think dems could take the state this year. FLA dems had the rules changed for them by a republican legislature and governor. FLA dems did NOT want it changed and tried to block it. Don't you think this makes a big difference? Don't you think then it becomes rather silly to hold FLA dems to the party rules? Dean clearly wants Obama. Last week when he asked for the supers to start selecting now, he showed his hand.
