Florida moves to wipe out clout of smaller states with Jan. 29 presidential primary

Stupidity at it's best....
by Craig Bachler

You might of heard by now, everybody wants a part of the cash,
Yes our rocket scientist in the Florida House supported moving the primary up to Jan 29! It has nothing to do with the "diversity" of the population as I was told today by an aid to my local rep, it is all about economics.
Fact, most candidates spend the most at the first bang to make sure they get the name recognition in the beginning of the election.
Fact, small states are better proving grounds for candidates, they are forced to get out and meet the people ( no, not their $2000.00 a plate supporters) the people that make up the masses in this country.
Fact, New Hampshire has a better record of picking candidates than Florida. Did you ever hear of any voting issues in New Hampshire? Florida? Well, 2000 presidential election, 2006 District 13 Congressional race (still unresolved) do you need more?
Fact, if the big states control the primary, lesser know candidates will not be heard. Isn't it all about the candidates and their ideas, not their political crap because they have millions in their campaign accounts?

Call the Governor of Florida and tell him this must stop before it is too late.
