The Democratic National Committee meets tomorrow in Washington to discuss whether to impose sanctions on Florida for moving its primary up from Feb. 5 to Jan. 29. (The party had stipulated that only a handful of states, including Iowa and New Hampshire, were allowed to hold nominating contests before February). The Florida Democratic Party demurred, and now the D.N.C. appears to be considering stripping the state of its delegates and telling the presidential candidates not to campaign there.
Florida Senator Bill Nelson and key members of the state’s Congressional delegation fired back today in a letter to D.N.C. chairman Howard Dean, saying they would not stand for the sanctions under consideration.
