Did Democrats get a bum rap!

Almost all of the primaries and caucus' have been flawed in some way or another. This is just yet another. In New Hampshire, candidates would have say, 10,000 votes when a few precincts had reported, then have only 5,000 votes when the entire state reported in. Where, exactly, did those votes go?

I think our election process is very flawed! The votes in Florida, as with the vote in Michigan a few weeks ago, won't count for the Democratic candidates because these states moved up their election dates. I had posted here a few months ago about why it is Iowa and New Hampshire have to have their primaries first and OK, I'll accept these two states keeping up such a long-held tradition. But, now the so-called "Super Tuesday" states, now a.k.a. "Super-Duper and Tsumani Tuesday" states think they're protected under some sacred law as well? I'm all for a National Primary Election Day, just as we all vote on the same day in the General Election. Then and only then will we all have an equal voice in this process! Unfortunately, it's not going to happen for this, possibly the most important election in any of our lifetimes! Annie

It just makes me glad to be a republican. I can't believe the Democratic candidates are so stupid as to disenfranchise their own party in Florida. This is the same party that argued for upwards of 5 recounts in Florida back in 2000 under the banner that "Every vote should count". They've not only turned off a lot of Democrats, but they've also guaranteed that moderate voters like myself will not vote democrat. I was actually going to vote for Obama before he openly declared that Florida doesn't matter. Now I'm sticking with McCain. I really feel bad for the honest Democrats who wanted their vote to count.

I really don't understand it. It seems like shooting yourself in the foot.
