Florida is Important

I had an interesting interview this afternoon with UNF poli sci professor Henry Thomas. He makes the argument that it really won't matter much at all if Florida's delegates are seated at the summer's presidential nominating conventions. Thomas says that will be overshadowed by Florida primary voters giving invaluable propulsion to two lucky people into Feb. 5's Super Tuesday and then right into the general election.

It's a pretty thorough interview in which we hit Kerry's endorsement of Obama, a possible Bloomberg candidacy, high voter turnout in Florida and his predictions both for Florida's winners and the two who emerge as their parties nominees. (I'll give you a hint to his answer to that one. It rhymes with Millary and BucCain.)

I'll post the entire unedited interview tomorrow afternoon.
