Site Changes

I apologize for any problems looking up the site over the last couple of days. I'm in the middle of resolving the past issue of the correct addressing for the blog hosting with blogger, thru 1and1.com. We've finally found the issue, BUT it will take up to 48 hours from this afternoon for all to be runnig correctly, so stay tuned...

Only votes after January 29th Count!

For those who know my dad, there are a small number of ways to get him to make a change in political affiliation. He began a Demoncrat, switched to the GOP, supported Perot, then switched back to the Demoncrats, primarily upon the foundation of their "Pro-Labor" stance. I love my Dad, but writing to me is not a strong point, actually writing to anyone who's not located in Tallahassee, or Washington, D.C. very rarely happens. This morning he left a message on my cell, it was a brief one, simply asking if I had gotten his Email. With the current POUS races already heating up with more than a year to go before the General Election, I knew that something had happened. I called him back and he directed me to the email which had a link to an article on CQpolitics.com.

He told me his opinion in regards to what seems to be a concrete decision by Howard Dean to enforce the Demoncrat National Committee's By-Law prohibiting the participation of any Delegate from a state holding primary elections prior to Feb. Additionally, half of all delegate votes would not be counted towards the DNC nomination and there would be penalties for any DNC candidates who campaign in such states, being that all votes for the candidate would be forfeited. In other words, "Attention All Florida Democrats! As of this moment, your votes will NOT COUNT at the 2008 DNC Convention." Mr. Dean, on behalf of all Florida Republicans, who have family member lost to the fogs of the DNC, thank you! My father sent an Email to the State DNC Chairwoman, informing her that he was effectively switching his party affiliation to the GOP, so that his VOTE WILL COUNT.

The effects of this move will continue to evolve over the coming months, Adam Smith, of the St Petersburg Times wrote;

The rules, unanimously passed in 2006 by nearly 450 Democratic party
activists across the country - including Florida - are clear and leave little or
no leeway for Dean to waive them: Any state that violates the schedule set by
the DNC loses half its delegates to the national nominating convention and any
candidate who campaigns in that state will forfeit all delegates from that
state.
By moving to Jan. 29, Dean told a New Hampshire student, Florida
Democrats "essentially converted their primary to a straw poll."
Translation:
National leaders of the "count every vote" party are refusing to count the votes
of Florida, where the term "disenfranchised voters" became a rallying cry in
2000.
