The
I was told as a kid, that the road to hell, is littered with good intentions.
It would seem the Governor Crist is on the same path, his burning desire to let the people be heard, and let folks the right to talk.
Unfortunately it looks he position has evolved ( to use a GOP term ) from 2000, where he didn't have a problem Gore voters being shut out of the whole election process, and thats even before, tens of thousands of voters kicked off the electoral roll.
I totally agree the stance taken to Florida and Michigan, you can't have a free for all, where every state decides, unilateral, when their primary is going to take place. And also there is another expression " Forewarned is Forearmed " . Both states where warned of the consequences in advance.
I also remember, in the case of Florida, one of the reasons why they moved up the election calendar, was under the belief that it would benefit the state economically, with interest from the media.
The last thing i am prepared to stomach is a Republican from Florida lecturing to me about democracy, Crist has to remember that he help elect a President, who has governed with excess.
