Dem Dirty Tricks in Florida   [Greg Pollowitz]

So, why do they really want a mail-in revote in Florida?  From Dan Gelber's blog (Gelber is Minority Leader of the Florida House of Representatives):

The major reason is that the revote, in addition to making sure Florida voters are heard, should also be a party building exercise. Returned ballots (because of address changes) will help us dramatically improve our voter database. If appropriate we could also ask Democrats to voluntarily give us their emails and telephone numbers so we can communicate with them in November and beyond. All this would help us considerably in the general election. If, however, the state oversees the election, Florida Democrats would be footing the bill without getting the attendant advantages the revote offers."

Charlie Crist should make sure that the State of Florida oversees the election. I'm sure that FL state law prescribes this oversight.

Why? (none / 0)

It's not a general election. The Dems can do whatever they want to or give all their delegates on a whim like the Louisana Republicans do.

 

Flashback Spitzer commercial. 

 

Clinton stands to gain big if they can get some sort of election or some sort of seating in Florida. Not only can she win there....seemingly, but she has 25 or so superdelegate advantage in that state.
