It might be too late.. but Florida Democrats worry that a 1/29 primary might be little more than a glorified post-Iowa beauty contest.
The DNC held a conference call with FL Dems ... pressure was exerted... and one major Edwards supporter left with the sense that campaigns might not participate or spend money in the state if the DNC refuses to award it delegates.
We're not sure the campaigns of Sen. Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton will agree. Winning matters -- not delegates, generally.
But here's ONE catch: the person who receives the most delegates wins the nomination. If enough states buck the DNC and decide to hold early primaries, then the same-size states who've played by the rules will benefit proportionally.
