Florida's GOP Governor: I'd Sup****t A New Democratic Primary
Florida Governor Charlie Crist said he'd sup****t a repeat of the
Democratic
presidential primary so the state's delegates can be counted at the
party's
national convention.
Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said he's open to the
possibility. Primary elections are paid for by a state's taxpayers, so the
offer from Crist, a Republican, is ``very helpful'' because money is an
issue, Dean said.
``We're very willing to listen to the people of Florida,'' Dean said on
CNN's ``Late Edition'' program today.
The Democratic Party stripped Michigan and Florida of their delegates to
the
convention as punishment for holding votes before the sanctioned date of
Feb. 5. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, head of the Democratic National
Convention, said last month that delegates from those states shouldn't
decide the nomination.
New York Senator Clinton beat Illinois Senator Barack Obama in the Florida
contest Jan. 29, though neither campaigned there in accordance with the
party's decision. Clinton won in Michigan after her rivals withdrew from
the
ballot.
Clinton said Jan. 25 that delegates from Florida and Michigan should be
seated at the Democratic National Convention in August.
Dean said the dispute over seating delegates is the fault party leaders,
not
Florida voters.

They need to find honest people in that state who can count and are not in
prison... if possible.
