Yet when it comes to voting on a computer, people are rabidly afraid. <BR/><BR/>Yes there is a possibility of voter fraud or malfunctions with a voting machine but if you read up on it, there is voter fraud and malfunctions every voting period using paper ballots too and you bring up one of the best known ones with the hanging chads.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-14299692073119165122007-05-23T01:57:00.000-04:002007-05-23T01:57:00.000-04:00Snicker Snicker.

States that bump primaries too early can end up losing delegates for the national convention. <BR/><BR/>What impact this will have is open to debate. The term "fart in a whirlwind" comes to my mind.<BR/><BR/>I do not know what the rules for the RNC are.

Maybe it's about time for congress to regulate the dates of these things (or to threaten to). Certainly the early bunching up of the races isnt doing the voters any good service. These things need to be spread out evenly across the calendar because it's starting to feel less like an election and more like high-pressure sales (though arent politicians a lot like time-shares?). <BR/>Just because a bunch of states are feeling their egos doesnt mean we have to put up with it.<BR/><BR/>BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!! like we've got a choice...<BR/><BR/>Actually, I've been feeling a little bitter, lately.daveawayfromhomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06237313399294302353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-4118030317833918512007-05-22T21:50:00.000-04:002007-05-22T21:50:00.000-04:00Saur,I love Pamela Anderson more than I love you.I...Saur,<BR/><BR/>I love Pamela Anderson more than I love you.<BR/><BR/>I don't like Crist getting involved with a woman.

Notice how it seems to interfere more with Democratic Primaries than Republican Primaries?<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, the notion that nobody takes FL seriously is only half true. We still have 26 electoral college votes. That is a significant chunk. California in number 1, but I think FL is number 3 or something. Candidates always come to Florida. <BR/><BR/>Anyhow I suspect other motives at work here. Something they are not going t fess up to. <BR/><BR/>If you have orange trees, I would hide them.
