The Florida Republican Party is happily shining the spotlight on the turmoil and infighting among Florida and national Democrats over theJan. 29 presidential primary.
Their message?
If the Democrats running for president are going to boycott Florida's primary and the national party doesn't want to count the primary votes, come on over to the GOP.
"There is hope. You'll find it with the Republican Party of Florida," promises a mailer to an undisclosed number of Florida Democrats, with the registration form voters can use to switch party affiliation.
"Now - thanks to their egos and political infighting - you, as a Florida Democrat, may lose your right to vote. No delegates. No votes. Because of the Democrat rules, Democratic presidential candidates say they won't campaign in Florida - they'll only raise money here," says the mailer.
