JACKSONVILLE, FL -- Democratic Congresswoman Corrine Brown places the blame for the delegate flap squarely on DNC Chairman Howard Dean.
"I think Howard Dean should fix the problem or resign," Brown exclaims during an interview at First Coast News studios.
Brown insists that Florida's delegates be seated at the convention according to the results of the January primary.
"And after what happened in 2000 in Florida, elections is a raw nerve for people in Florida. And you should not mess with us! And you should not mistreat us in Florida," she says.
However, after nearly two months of bickering, bargaining and begging the Florida Democrats and the national party are still at an impasse.
And unless something changes, Florida's delegates will not be seated at the Denver convention which begins August 27th. The state's Super Delegates, of which Brown is one, will have no say, either. "Let me tell you something. If he (Dean) does not work this out, not only do I show up, I show up with a million Floridians. We will circle the convention. No one will go in until we resolve this issue. I'm not playing with him. He needs to get it straight before then. I'm not playing."
