Ridiculous question.

6. Not really a "ridiculous question"
Edited on Fri Jan-25-08 03:50 PM by UndergroundEcoHound
The Florida Legislature knew there would be retributions for moving up their primary date. They decided to do this anyways. Since when is respecting the rules ridiculous? I think we should have a better process for having influence spread around from state to state in the nomination process, but subversion to the rules should not be condoned in the middle of a nomination process when the outcome could greatly sway the process itself.

7. I'd like to commend Edwards supporters for stepping up to the plate
and supporting voters' rights, even if it might hurt your candidate!

8. I agree with Hillary, they should only count if it helps her win the nomination
If it doesn't help her win the nomination, then they shouldn't count.
