No Re-Vote

Florida's Democratic Party decided Monday not to hold a revote. An e-mail from Karen Thurman said the party "researched every potential alternative process - from caucuses to county conventions to mail-in elections - but no plan could come anywhere close to being viable in Florida."

What she noted was that last year in Tallahassee, Democratic legislators tried to set a February 5th primary date instead of Janaury 29th but were rebuffed by the Republicans. It was a proposed amendment to House Bill 537. Interesting that it was HB 537 since that was the number of votes that separated George W. Bush and Al Gore in Florida back in 2000.

So what's the solution? It may have to come from the DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee, which is scheduled to meet again in April.

What's your take? Are we doomed to mess up another election?
