So I see you STILL haven't bothered to research the entire history of this sordid affair. Don't you think it would help your arguments if you actually knew what you were talking about before you comment?

Oh - yeah - you couldn't bear to take the time to do that, lord knows - you might actually learn something. I'll bet you cannot tell me exactly when, how and where all the events that lead to this juncture played out, nor can you tell me who actually introduced the bills to the Florida house and Senate.

Jefferson warned about trying democracy in a population without a proper education... you're a fine example of how that works out.

You obviously know how the Democrats in Florida's congress voted, right? You know they were aware of the consequences before voting with near unanimity to move up their primary date? And that the only legislators who wanted to abide by DNC rules is an Obama supporter?

I mean, you'd have to be a fool not to.

If you had bothered to watch the video, you would realize how utterly stupid your comment here is.

I must therefore surmise that you abdicated that opportunity.

It is better to remain quiet and appear the fool, than to speak and remove all doubt (I think this needs no proper citation by now).

Back under the bridge, troll. Or you shall be smote by the Paradox of Truth.

You may find the resources here, if you have not already seen them, useful in fully answering questions regarding this. Note that some additional sources are also contained within commentary.

This video shows that they could easily have kept the Democratic half of the primary on or after 2/5 but the state Democrats chose to move it anyway...

It does? I've never heard anyone suggest the Dems had any possibility for splitting the Dem primary from the Repub primary. The primary was funded by the state, not the FL Dem party, so it's highly unlikely the state would have entertained running two separate primaries. The date was set by the legislature and, while the Dems could indeed have protested (and didn't), I don't see how a Dem minority could have achieved legislation to split the primary in two, doubling the cost of the primary election.

Let's also remember that the legislation setting the primary date was bundled with a provision requiring a paper trail where electronic balloting is used. It would have been politically risky for FL Dems to vote against the bill given the inclusion of that very important provision. It's a little more complicated than some might like to suggest, but no question that FL Dems made their own bed on this.
