Al Gore's office confirmed he does not want to be on primary ballot

Geller said he contacted Al Gore's office to confirm that the former vice president and defeated candidate in 2000 didn't want to be on the ballot. Coincidentally, the action came as dozens of actors filmed scenes for HBO's "Recount" outside the Capitol.

2. That's the Florida ballot - everyone has withdrawn except Hillary Clinton.

Florida's primary votes will not count in the selection of delegates since they broke the rules.

Even if Al were running he wouldn't compete in Florida. No one else is.

4. None of the Dems have withdrawn their names from the Florida primary ballot.

They are not allowed to campaign here, but they can continue to fundraise. You are thinking of Michigan.

3. You mean Florida. Glad he doesn't want to be on the Florida ballot.

It could cause real problems, since our party broke all the rules and many are starting lawsuits against Dean and the DNC.

This Steve Geller?

Geller to sue the first four states for being rogue terrorist states

6. Whoa, Freddie, I did NOT say they had. I know they have not.

Believe it or not I am right on top of this issue and just about ready to post some more.

Karen Thurman turned the party over to Bill Nelson as a vehicle to achieve fame for himself. Possibly for VP status.

She should be ashamed...he should be ashamed at the cost he is causing the DNC to pay for standing by rules that say who goes first.

I hear there were some real words of support for Charlie Crist the "Democrat" at the convention....but I don't have proof of that....yet.

Gee, remember how the Blue Dogs in Florida supported Jeb? Well, what do you know? Maybe we never really cared if we had a Dem governor?
