He was unable to remove his name from the Florida ballot. In order to remove your name from the Florida ballot, you need to be withdrawing entirely as a candidate. Since he wasn't, he couldn't.
because I really don't know about that, but it dosen't affect the latter half of my comment. The strategy that helped him in the nomination phase with regard to Mi. & Fl. will come back to bite him in the general.
the secretary of state has the authority to place any major presidential candidate's name on the florida ballot even if they declare they don't want it there (for the primaries). if you have evidence that kurt browning would have removed obama's name from the ballot if barack had requested it, feel free to post it.
browning did admit (on local television) that he informed one campaign (without specifying which one) that he would not allow their candidate's name to be removed from the january ballot. but if you have other information, i know i would appreciate hearing it...
I don't have any information about that, sorry.
