I’m in … I’m out. I’m actively campaigning … I’m no longer involved. I’m on board … I’m jumping ship.
Well … not really. Don’t get me wrong – I’m voting for Obama in the January primary of my home state of Florida NO MATTER WHAT … but all this political bickering between my home state and the DNC over scheduling conflicts and primary rules has definitely put a damper on my otherwise passionate democratic spirit.
It breaks my heart to hear/read about the DNC possibly not seating our Florida delegates because of our state’s refusal to “get back in line” and hold our primary according to the rules set forth by the DNC. It breaks my heart to hear/read about my home state going to court and filing lawsuits against the DNC. It breaks my heart to think that, if things continue as they now stand, all of Florida’s votes will NOT count. And all because we moved our primary date up to January, against DNC ruling.
Yes, I’m heartbroken. But I’ve ultimately realized that the bottom line is simply this: even though my own vote for Obama WILL NOT COUNT, I will still vote for him. And even though my own vote DOES NOT MATTER, getting Obama into the White House does!
So I will continue to encourage other voters from OTHER STATES to vote for Obama … because NO MATTER WHAT, our country needs Barack Obama as its next president!
