Congratulations to the Florida Republicans for making a very wise
choice.

I haven't voted Republican for POTUS in a very long while. Depending
upon who the Democrats nominate, I could imagine voting for McCain
this fall without too much angst.

I *despise* (!) a lot of McCain's political stands, but POTUS needs to
be about character and leadership moreso than politics. McCain scores
highly in the personal integrity and ability categories, and most
people who agree with my politics should be put in jail, anyway- not
elected POTUS. :-)

A McCain candidacy would help improve the tarnished image of the
Republican party and maybe put a few R's back into congress, but
assuming that the D's hold the majority in congress we would be back
to what is historically the best arrangement in Washington DC- the
executive and legislative branches controlled by different parties.

Now I'm not up on the political scam er scheme, but how could Hillary
get such a huge cropping over Barrak, and no delegates, and McCain
topples Romney and gets 52???

Really I don't know that much about the whole primary process.

Depends what states you win. Big states, more delegates. I don't know
how many states have "winner take all" primaries, and in those that do
not a 60-40 vote split can mean six delegates for the "winner" and
four for the "loser". One of Hillary's victories was in a state that
was disqualtifed by the D party for holding its primary too early, so
she got no delegates there. IIRC- Obama didn't campaing too vigorously
in the "no delegate" state.

Florida forfeited any Democratic Delegates because of the date change of the
primary.
Hillary initially didn't pay too much attention either until Obama won so
big in SC.
Then she did an about-face and campaigned in Florida.

She was just on MSNBC, claiming a "huge" victory.

Comical.

None of the remaining three Dems campaigned in Florida. Hillary attended
a few private and closed fundraisers in Florida, and did not "appear" in
the state until the the polls closed. She also got more votes in Florida
than any candidate of either party running there in the primaries.

While there were no delegates in play, it was a significant victory, and
when the Dems change their minds about delegates, she will get the
majority of the Florida ones.

Sounds like you are saying the Clintons are already trying to rig the
election. I'm sure they have enough in their war chest to buy the DNC.
Wonder what other tricks they have up their sleeves.

#1 That's BS.

#2 That's improper English from a guy who adds "journalist" to his
unfounded resume.

And trying to change the rules after the election. Sound familiar.

It's called cheating.

Back in August, Michigan and Florida moved their primary dates forward
and the DNC (Democratic National Committee) as a punishment said the
state delegates would not be seated at the convention.

ALL Democratic candidates at the time promised not to campaign in
Michigan and Florida.

Guess who reneged on both pledges?

Anyway, now Billary wants the delegates seated from - hold on - from
Michigan and Florida.

Funny how that works huh?
