I have tried my best to keep on top of politics lately but the recent decision to push in favor of adding the Florida delegates votes towards the delegate count for the democratic nomination has made me curious.

Will it make a decision either way? I know that Hillary Clinton would gain another 100 or so delegates, but Obama, at the same time, will bring another 50 Delegates. This decision as a whole will not clinch the win for either candidate.

So where does that put us? We seem to have become the hotbed for election fiasco's. I beg to ask the question as to why our Florida politicians chose to push the election date to February, fully aware of the consequences behind it.  Why does it seem that even though the state of Florida has a strong democratic party it consistently fails to clinch significant democratic wins?

It seems that the democratic party in Florida is one rife with inconsistencies and in this one flaw, they manage to keep the control the state in Republican hands.

Thanks for reading.

I have been an actor, writer, and journalist, among other things. Currently I am getting ready to go back to school. I think that news, as clichè as it sounds, is one day away from being history. I enjoy reading, writing, running, biking and swimming. Ironically I hate the Triathlon. Yet I believe exercise is the key to a happy life! Politically I'm a Moderate Democrat and I listen to anyone's views, the only thing that really irks me is people who insult others for having different views. Which often makes me insult them in turn. I guess that makes me a Hypocrite... At least I won't be lonely.
