Have the Republicans already won Florida in the general election?

The democrats message to Florida voters. You do not count. They are making a major mistake here. They are confirming the 2000 fiasco's legitimacy and telling all those retired democrats that they do not count. McCain is very popular down there and Bush did quite well. I ask you if your party VOWS to fight for your voting rights in one election and then states that you do not count in the next....would you be energized? Would you be insulted?

I think demographics point towards McCain if this happens. Military people, older ages....Hillary could win Florida, However theres no concievable way Obama would if they are not counted normally and it tips the nomination to him. These people will either vote Republican or stay home and play cards. Democrats have made a big strategic blunder here.

They should set up a caucas or something.

Didn't you hear the stories of poll workers lying to the Dems that came to vote?

Why are democrats who so vehemently objected to 2000 not outraged at their own party for GIVING away a state if Obama wins nomination?

Florida is a must win.

They new what was going to happen when they set the date.

It would have been nice to have Michigan and Florida have a proper primary where the candidates could campaign, but they decided they didn't want it that way.

Florida is a lost cause.
