Local News in Tampa Reports 3 US Senators file a lawsuit against DNC.

[Sancho]

I was afraid of this...

Reported on TBO Channel 8, but no posted story yet.

They claim that Florida primary unfair by DNC rules.

[Thrill]

1. Why didn't they file suit when the ruling was made.

What a joke

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

32. Clinton was assured.

[Vinca]

2. Democrats: Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory again. nt

[slinkerwink]

3. such lawsuits have been thrown out before

[yourguide]

4. Which 3...FL only has 2.

[EFerrari]

8. LOL. No kidding.

:)

[Sancho]

23. Usually you'd be correct, but this is FLORIDA! We can't count, remember...

:rofl:

[madfloridian]

5. I think it was the suit by Geller and two other Broward Dems.

Nelson has already sued and lost, and I doubt Martinez would.

[Sancho]

6. There was a lack of details...

but they were waiting for a deal.

Apparently the suit claims that other states moved dates without a penalty. (Don't flame me, I'm just reporting. I'm not agreeing.)

I hope that there are more reports at 6PM.

7. 1 Senator, 1 Broward Dem Club President & 1 Convention Delegate

9. It's Gellar, a Florida state senator.

Actually the guy who thumbed his nose at the DNC when this all started.

Fuck Gellar. Fat traitorous bastard.

[indimuse]

10. GOOD!

[haymakeragain]

14. Funny how you never seem to worry about the voters who wanted to vote

for Obama in MI but couldn't. Isn't that on your radar anywhere? Why only the Hillary point of view.

I chalk your outrage right up there with the Repubes bitching about voter fraud instead of election fraud. It's disingenous.

[Radio_Lady]

16. Wow! What a way to celebrate my birthday! First, a big Democratic meeting...

But best of all, we're going to see "Kung Fu Panda" with my grandkids!

[Aloha Spirit]

29. happy b-day!

[PassingFair]

20. Oh, GREAT! That "rally" should be good for laughs!

Hope they don't use tasers for "crowd" control....
those seniors won't be able to take it.

[blm]

11. I want to sue Bill Clinton and his stewardship of the Dem party fr 1993-2005.

He was criminally negligent as he would never direct his heads of the DNC to secure the election process for Dem voters and Dem candidates, as he and his servants collapsed the party infrastructures in so many states where the RNC gained control of the election process at every level where the votes are allowed, cast and counted - especially states like Florida and Ohio.

Bill Clinton let this happen because he wanted BushInc protected till Hillary could get into office.

[VolcanoJen]

12. Gellar started this thing!!!! Where is madfloridian?????

madfloridian, what do you think of this!

[MattP]

13. Bill Nelsons suit wasn't enough

TALLAHASSEE -- Democratic National Committee 2, Florida 0.

Florida Democrats lost another effort on Wednesday to make Florida's Democratic primary more meaningful on Jan. 29.

U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle threw out a lawsuit that aimed to force the national party to seat Florida delegates at the national convention and command presidential candidates to campaign in Florida.

"We're pleased that the court respected the necessity of the Democratic National Committee to enforce its rules about the selection of delegates to the convention and to treat all of the state Democratic parties across the country in a fair and consistent and equitable way," said Joe Sandler, the DNC's attorney. "...

15. Well alright. Either seat the delegates are hand the state of Fla.

to McCain. Oh at this snap shot in time McCain beats BHO. HRC defeats McCain.

[Yanez Houston Jordan]

17. Hillary doesn't beat anyone. She missed the cut. Better luck in 2016!

[BenDavid]

28. 2016? what is that after McCain's 2 terms? if you believe bho is

going to win the general then I cannot stop your dream, but unless he selects hrc as his vp, he is toast.

[dcindian]

30. hey perhaps you will get your wish 8 yrs of McCain and Hagee.

Together they can bring back the camps and give praise for Hitler. But hey as long as that black guy loses.

[Doityourself]

18. The only thing Hillary is beating is cake batter

[madfloridian]

22. I think there is a mess now...

I wrote an email to Karen Thurman today asking them to resolve this and accept responsibility for the errors. Unfortunately, the horse is out of the barn.

[Fresh_Start]

24. I'm waiting to see a taxpayers group do the same

after all the taxpayers of Florida funded the primary process and they are being deprived of their votes

[madfloridian]

25. Hey, why don't we sue as well?

Let's all sue.

[Fresh_Start]

26. you're name suggests you might have standing

for a lawsuit. whats your argument?

[Tatiana]

27. Don't you mean STATE Senators? n/t

[Sancho]

31. I walked in and heard the TV...they didn't give names...

some others on this thread appear to have identified the "plaintiffs".

[MattP]

33. Here is the jackass who is heading up the suit mocking the DNC before the vote
