And what will Obama supporters think about this, and what will they do in November if they feel cheated by Hillary? Additionally, several unions are actively campaigning for Hillery here in Florida.

I’ve long believed that the Clinton plan was to win Michigan and Florida, then hold those delegates in reserve until needed at the convention. And what will Obama supporters think about this, and what will they do in November if they feel cheated by Hillary?

It is just one facet of the Clinton's "win al all costs" philosophy. They will do whatever is necessary to win; even if it destroys the democratic party or even the country. Just as long as they win. On another subject, now that Fred is no longer campaigning many conservative republicans, myself included, are at a loss for a reasonable choice this November. We would appreciate your thoughts on this. If you have a suggestion of a choice or a direction commensurate with true conservative values it would truly be appreciated... McCain - bah, Huckabee - bah, Clinton - Bah Humbug!! They all make Ron Paul or even Dennis Kucinich seem preferable. If we are going to have a political, country-destroying circus, at the least make it a good circus. How about if we were to include "none of the above" on the ballot? If so many people dislike all of the candidates such that no one receives a plurality of the votes, then shoot all the the candidates on the ballot and start over with new ones. Good for the economy, good for the media, good for the country. Rick,

In the Republican primary in SC some independents and Dems voted since it is an open primary. Now with a different Democrat primary in progress today are those voters who participated in the Republican primary allowed to vote again or not in the Democrat primary? Double the voter impact? I have not been able to find an answer yet. I have a question I have been trying to research but have not been successful so far in making a determination.

The restriction in Fl as I understand was on advertising or campaigning. However I believe they were still able to do fund raising events here and some reports have shown that those events have become 'a lot larger' than historic fund raisers. Also Bill Clinton is in the state today per one of the blogs in my RSS feed and he will likely be touting his wife's candidacy as a proxy. There was also something in my RSS the other day about Clinton raising an issue with an Obama advertisement in Georgia reaching a few subscribers in Fl by some method on a cable system near the state line.
