Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Not the point.

It was understood by all of the candidates that Florida would not count.  All of the candidates pledged to not campaign in the state.  Clinton, after losing badly in South Carolina and getting hit for her husband's idiocy, then decided that Florida should count only a couple days before the primary, thereby ensuring that Obama and Edwards could not campaign there.

Further, she was supposed to take her name off the ballot in Michigan, as Edwards and Obama did.  She waited for them to do so, and then promptly...didn't.

It's more than a bit sad, really.  And, frankly, as someone who is from Palm Beach County and has witnessed true disenfranchisement in my hometown, I find it insulting to hear this nonsense about "disenfranchisement" from people.

It's not an attempt to stand against disenfranchised voters.  It's an attempt to change the rules when your opponents cannot properly counter it.

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to your country.
