26. I feel your pain, and I hope you feel mine, as well.
Don't try to personalize this as my having somehow insulted you or your family. Florida's politicians created this mess. And there's a simple enough solution to remedy it, without forcing a tainted delegate count onto the convention.

Who is Florida to run a tainted election, YET AGAIN... which may well result in the disenfranchisement of tens of millions of voters, yet again! There were no signs, campaign offices or ads for other candidates, either, so Florida's Democratic primary fell something short of a "free and fair" election. If Florida's delegates, as currently voted, are used to override the candidate who otherwise has the majority of delegates, there will be hell to pay.


Re: 'how the hell do you know how much "excitement" we feel?' --- Putting aside the offensive language, I'm pretty sure I laid out exactly what the basis for my speculation was, including qualifying statements that you appear to have opted-out on. Regardless, I won't be held responsible for you taking my general, qualified statement regarding the overall excitement of the Florida Democratic electorate as a specific assault on your family; nor will I try to disabuse you of the notion that Florida's lesser Democratic turnout doesn't break the trend seen most everywhere else in the nation thus far.
