A few weeks ago, I wrote about how Florida early primary was not going to be early enough since 25 states were talking about holding their primary the first week of February, essentially moving the so-called SuperTuesday. Now it appears that Florida is getting back in the game. Talk in the Florida House this week was of moving the primary to Jan 29 making our election before California.
So we’ll see what happens!
There was talk here in Florida about changing our Primary Election Date to somewhere around the 1st of March. However, that may be too late. According to a report released in The Hill the other day 23 states are in the frame to hold primary elections on Feb 5. That’s a whole month earlier than Florida.
Those states include: Delaware, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, California, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas, Arizona, Alabama, Georgia, North Dakota, Utah, Kansas, Colorado, West Virginia, Nevada, and possibly Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
So what’s Florida to do? Considering that we can’t hold it before the 1st of March if we don’t want to incur penalties set down by the legislature.
So with about half of the states voting early now, maybe the only fair thing to do is have a National Primary Day so that all states have an equal voice.
Global Warming and it’s fuzzy science has been the focus of many news reports this week, especially with Al Gore winning an Oscar for his Inconvenient Truth. But the fact of the matter remains is if liberals really believe this, then why aren’t they all living like the early pioneers who founded this country? Al Gore and the Hollywood left with all their millions have no qualms telling other people how to live but when it comes to changing their lifestyle that’s a different story. But Gore can’t run far from reports this week that he used 20x the average consumption of electricity. So much for carbon footprints.
However, some supporters are quick to point out that his investments in energy reduction balance out this agregous use of energy. I guess this is Gore’s Inconvenient Truth- he would rather sacrifice the well-being of the planet than give up his lavish lifestyle.
