Remember the movie Groundhog Day? Part of it was funny; part of it was sheer agony. The thought of living one day over and over again sounds like torture. But the premise that we learn from experience and can avoid making the same mistakes the next time around is the big redeeming value of this life-lesson film.

With the West Virginia primary underway, the teams of journalists, politicians, announcers, analysts and pundits are all gathering in groups at the cable networks’ gizmo-garnished newsrooms for another installment of Primary Coverage, Same Old Story. But since the happy ending for Hillary is mathematically beyond belief, why must we go through this again?

I realize that Hillary has a dream and is giving it the green light until her campaign runs completely out of gas. She has already achieved more (politically) than any other female elected official in U.S. history. But all good and bad things must come to an end. If not tonight, then certainly when the last primary vote is counted next month. And since I am still a disenfranchised voter in Florida, I suggest that the head honcho Democrats, especially Dr. Dean, stop blaming Floridians and Michiganders for the mess about moving the primary dates and do something constructive, for a change.

The country and the world have much more complex problems to solve. Around the globe, neighboring states are at each other’s throat; food shortages are growing and people are starving; the environment is under siege…

If the Democrats can’t figure out a way to clear up the confusion about 2 state primaries, how can they give everyone confidence in their leadership and convince enough Americans to put their nominees in power and fix the really big problems we all face?

For a party that demanded ”every vote be counted” in 2000 in Florida, I find it appalling that the same party now excludes every vote from that same state, and Michigan, because of some contrived party rule.

How is ’Howies’ party rule of exculsion any different than the literacy laws of the old South?

People may think 2000 in Florida was a fiasco, just remember who made it a fiasco in selective recounting.
