DNC Vows to Seat Delegates
April 2nd, 2008 by flanewsThe battle to seat Florida’s Democratic delegates seems to be going somewhere. The chairman of the Democratic National Committee Howard Dean announced today, that Florida’s democratic delegation will be seated at the national convention in August. Dean released a joint statement with Florida’s Democratic Party leader Karen Thurman. State Senator Steve Geller said the agreement doesn’t matter.
“We must work out an agreement on fair terms reflecting the will of Florida’s voters to seat our delegates and again today’s announcement really doesn’t mean anything,” said Geller.
The national and state parties haven’t reached an agreement yet, on how to seat Florida’s delegates. Florida was penalized after lawmakers voted to move up the primary.
