However this all shakes out regarding the Democratic Florida primary fiasco, there’s no lack of principle in play. There’s the principle that “every vote counts” and disenfranchisement should never, ever be countenanced. And then there’s the principle that you “play by the rules” that all parties had agreed to. And then there’s the principle that says, in effect, that if the two aforementioned principles are irreconcilable, then you do the politically expedient thing.
So much for principle.
