Dreams and Illusions
Amie Parnes and Ben Smith ask in The Politico – Is Florida In Play For Dems?
Their question is based on the shift in the Hispanic population from majority Republican to majority Democratic registration.
A news flash – Gore won Florida in 2000. Without the confusion on the Palm Beach ballot it would have been by the thousands who accidentally voted for Pat Buchanan. With Ralph Nader no longer relevant it could have been even larger in this cycle without the shift among Hispanics.
Now, the question is if a Democratic candidate will even be on the ballot, and if they are, will they come in second or third.
The DNC has made a lot of enemies in Florida, and I don’t see them turning that around. The real effects of the Republican’s Amendment One will be obvious by November, and there is no reason to forgive the DNC for making it possible.
