McCain at his pandering best

Some place in or near New Orleans. People on CNN were saying that it was a small crowd for the place where it was held.

 

But whose fault was it that the delegates didn't fully count - the Florida Democrats who didn't fight hard enough to change that part of the reform measure, knowing what it would do, or the Republicans who they spent most of Saturday blaming?

 

How would Florida's primary screw-up be the GOP's fault?

 

Don't you get it? EVERYTHING is the GOP's fault.

 

I'm not willing to go that far. I'll settle for the screwed up past 7 1/2 years, though.

 

Unless you're using the Democratic form of dividing delegates based on percentage. Then everyone gets a prize.

 

The primary dates in Florida are set by the Legislature, which is controlled by the GOP, and signed into law by the governor, who's a Republican. I don't think they did it to specifically hurt the Democrats, but that that was an outcome I doubt broke anyone's hearts.

As I pointed out elsewhere, the Democrats could have had their own primary, but they would have had to pay the entire cost, and they would have ended any chance at all that they had of defeating a short-sighted property tax amendment (that ended up passing anyway).
