Now they're trying to do the same thing to their own delegates.
What if Democratic voters turned out for a presidential primary in Florida and their vote didn't count?
It's an option national Democratic leaders are seriously considering as they grapple with Florida's newly scheduled 2008 presidential primary date, which could upend the national primary process and produce yet another weird Florida election. Consider the scenario:
On Jan. 29, Florida Republicans and Democrats head to the polls to pick presidential nominees. Republican votes count, just as you would expect, but the results for Democrats would be nonbinding. No delegates would be awarded based upon the results and instead party activists and insiders would decide on some later date how to divvy up the state's more than 200 delegates to the Democratic national convention.
So in other words, you could have a back door deal that would mean that their votes wouldn't count. Think about that for a minute. If 150 delegates vote for say Hillary Clinton, and those in power decide they don't like her, they could give any or all of the delegates votes to Barack Obama or any other candidate.
That's not how elections work people. They are doing the exact thing they railed against in 2000 and in 2004. They are sore losers and they are willing to do whatever it takes to get back into power in the White House. You sure you want a political party in the White House that pulls that kind of shenanigans?
