The state of Florida, not content with being the laughing stock of 2000 continues its campaign to be the laughing stock of 2008.

Really, in all fairness, the Democrat party is the laughing stock, as entire primary election seems fated to be a bigger debacle than the 2000 election.

Not content to have their election invalidated after they had their primary invalidated for moving their primary date in violation of DNC rules, they now want to muddy the waters with an impromptu mail in vote…or do they?

Re-vote picture clouds

For a moment, it looked like party leaders were marching toward a Florida revote. But Obama’s campaign signaled today that the mechanics would be an obstacle, and Florida’s congressional delegation just took a hard line against a re-vote in a joint statement:

Washington, DC – The Members of Florida’s Democratic Delegation in the U.S. House of Representatives issued the following statement regarding the seating of Florida’s delegates at the DNC National Convention this August.

“We are committed to working with the DNC, the Florida State Democratic party, our Democratic leaders in Florida, and our two candidates to reach an expedited solution that ensures our 210 delegates are seated.

“Our House delegation is opposed to a mail-in campaign or any redo of any kind.”

Which leaves the matter woefully murky. 

So exit question:  Why does Florida seem to attract election debacles?  Do I need to remind anyone of the stupid ballots, inconsistent standards of evaluating voter intent, hanging chads, dueling courts and whining politicians from 2000?

If the Democrats were really pushing to assure the people they stand for integrity in elections, they seem to be failing.

All I have seen is race baiting, victim card playing, scheming and conniving.  I have seen plans for totally thwarting voter intent, and two entire states completely disenfranchised.

This is election integrity?

And you cannot blame the Republicans this time, this is Dem on Dem infighting.

It is hard to believe that any registered democrats still trusts the DNC and their party at large.

Yes, before a liberal chimes in that the Republicans have their own shady history, I will acknowledge that, but I will also point out that the R’s seems to have strolled to a consensus behind McCain. 

So this year at least, they win the congeniality award.

And the Dems look like buffoons.
