These guys want to run the country

The democratic party is looking more and more like a special version of a Big Brother reality show; lot's of drama, nothing productive.

Apparently, they can't even get their stuff together to select electoral college voters in Florida.

Sen. Barack Obama could carry Florida but still lose its 27 electoral votes due to a legal snag in the state party's selection of people to cast those ballots, an influential party leader warned Sunday.

Democratic National Committeeman Jon Ausman of Tallahassee protested plans for a hastily arranged meeting of the Florida Democratic Party's state executive committee next week. The committee was to have met in Tampa on Saturday to name its slate for the Electoral College but couldn't muster a quorum.

That matters because state law requires both parties to send lists of electors to Gov. Charlie Crist before Sept. 1. The Republicans plan to name their slate next weekend in Orlando, party spokeswoman Erin VanSickle said Sunday.

Ten days notice is required for another Democratic executive committee meeting, so next weekend is out, and party leaders plan to be in Denver the following weekend for their national convention.

Florida could hold a rump session to pick electors out there, but many of the 200-plus state committee members aren't going to the convention. They could cobble together a quorum after the convention Aug. 29 -- but that's cutting it close, with different travel schedules and post-convention plans of dozens of committee members.

Ausman said party rules don't allow for meetings by teleconference or mail. And since Aug. 30-31 is a weekend, he said, there's no guarantee Crist would open his office to receive the certified list of electors.
