I find it hard to believe that the Democrats are already setting up Florida as the state for them to lose in 2008 and the state to cost them the presidency again!

In 2000, Al Gore won the popular vote of the country but Florida Democrats, butterfly ballots and hanging chads lost the election for him.

Now the Democratic National Committee has played into the hands of the Republicans by ordering its candidates not to campaign in Florida.

The Republican candidates are everywhere seeking votes, while the Democrats have to sneak in for private parties.

The Republican Party leaders have assured GOP members that their delegates will be counted at the convention.

The Republicans set the Jan. 29 primary date so they could impress the nation with the winner.

As a loyal Democrat, I am ashamed and disgusted by our party's actions! How can its leaders be so stupid?
