It seems that McCain has won the “hotly” contested Florida Republican votes and Clinton has the Democratic ones (yeah, like they really count as Florida will not have representatives in the Demo convention). Here is the standing at this time…

Republicans

Democrats

The Democrats shot themselves in the foot by not allowing candidates to campaign in Florida. No delegates and no campaigning because Florida moved up it primary.

I have a great solution to all this… let’s just have all the primaries on one day. No, I’m not the first to suggest this and I won’t be the last. This “we want to have a say in who will be the primaries” is a bunch of crap. You want more say, get more people in you state to vote. (And yes, I do realize that a one day primary will cost the candidates more, especially the ones that are way out of the running, but you need to have the money to run in the first place.)

Who am I voting for coming Super Tuesday? Hillary of course… she is a bit more in the know about IT than is Barack and I can not with clear conscience vote Republican (Georgia has an open primary, no need to declare a party).

Now come November I may be singing a different tune as McCain is a mighty tempting candidate… but the likelihood of Republican party hardliners allowing the more Liberal McCain to run is very slim (yes, they can and have stopped the top vote getter from getting the nomination).

*No, I’m not calling Florida voters  or anyone else swampmonsters.
