According to a poll conducted this week for various Florida media, almost a quarter of Florida Democrats say they'll be "less likely to support" the party's nominee if their state's delegates aren't seated at the Democratic National Convention in Denver in August -- and by seated they mean counted in the final tally to choose the presidential nominee. Florida has more than 4 million registered Democrats, but even just taking into account the 1.7 million Florida Democrats who voted in the January primary, that's still a potential alienation of some 400,000 votes, on a peninsula (and the nation's fourth largest state) that ended up deciding the 2000 presidential race by a mere 537 ballots. In addition, some state party leaders tell TIME they privately estimate the Dem dysfunction will cost them at least 1% of Florida's sizeable chunk of independent voters, who number more than 2 million, or almost a fifth of the state's electorate.

But wait, he'll lose  Florida but make it up in more moderate Virginia and Colorado? He's tied with McCain even in liberal Massachusetts. Pass the Kool Aid.

I notice many Obama supporters blogging here, calling for a reasonable end to Hillary's candidacy. I sympathize with the effort, as I spent a long time trying to write 'reasonable' diaries on Kos, as NY Writer--and was often told to go fuck myself. (Here in drag, as Hedda Lettuce. Tried to actually change it to NY Writer but was unable to get back on to mydd so fuck it)

Here's the thing, dear and reasonable Obama supporters: This is not a game for us, as I'm sure it's not for you. It's not like a tennis match where we say, 'gee, we've lost on points so we'll retire.' This is a blood sport for us, life and death. The difference between the prospect of a successful presidency, Hillary's, which would carry the potential to FINALLY deliver, generations too late, health care and other needed changes, or, in our minds, a failed presidency for Obama.
