According to the Green Papers, [Link] no delegates will be determined by this primary.
----"As of 5 October 2007, the DNC has determined that the date of Florida's 29 January 2008 primary violates party rules and has decided to strip the state of its delegation."
----"Total delegate votes changed from 210 to 0."
