We need support all over the country! Regardless of the number delegates, if we don't have the entire country how can we be unified to win in November! To unification of the entire country! Thank you Florida!

The Clinton's in the White House……..

God Save Us…..

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
How many Obama posters here remember Election 2000, where Gore won the popular vote but Bush won the most delegates?

How many of you were outraged because the delegates counted for more than the voice of the people?

Now you have changed your mind about that, since it suits your candidate? Only because of this messed up political system do delegates count more than the popular vote. Since Florida has no delegates that will count, I guess the popular vote there means nothing? Those 1.5 million people who voted were just pissing in the wind? I swear, 99% of the Obama supporters here are so ill-educated, they just follow out of blind faith that this man who has been a US Senator for 3 years, 2 of which years he's been campaining for president, can lead this nation.

Even Lou Dobbs said last night, in the case of a national/foreign crisis, can a community organizer from inner-city Chicago lead us?

Hillarybill clinton is desperate she is willing to run against herself if it will get her momentum.We have to stop this dynasty from winning she is terrible

Is it not overwhelming to know that even in the United States a few Polictical want tobe's can disenfrancise an entire state from the selection process. Reminds me of a past vote where the courts decided who Florida really voted for, then there was Ohio, but we would get into that.

Would it not be really neat to see an election or a primary held in this country where the voters actually were given a voice and listened to.

The selection process is already tainted. There was a time I supported Obama, then he decided he could not campaign as to who he really was and I saw him lowering himself to the level of his crowds rather than raising them to his level. Then came the political attacks, and yes, Obama started the attacks, but cried foul when the Clinton camp responded. And yes, Clinton eventually went on the attack, the feud between the two of them is not good for the party or the nation.

Like it or not a unbeatable Democratic ticket one year ago would have been Clinton and Obama. Today the hope of a Clinton Obama ticket is dead. That ticket would have removed the very heart and soul from the Republican race. Now, they actually think they can retain the White House. If this inner party warfare contiunes and Obama and Clinton do not make peace and start working for the good of the nation we shall once again be seeing a Republican President and not because a majority of the voters want him.

John Edwards at this time maybe need to be considered as the party canidate, not because he has done so well in the primaries, but because he has not permitted him self to get into this play ground brawl and damage himself, the party or the nation in the process.

This is so funny, a political friend just told me that the blogs are also used by the candidates. The Clinton's have a team that responses to blogs as if they are the voters.

Everybody's vote should be counted, Hillary earned it, it was Florida voter's real voice without campaign, so Hillary should get delegates seated.

By now, Hillary's problem is that she expected to have the nomination wrapped up. When she signed on to not campaign in Florida six months ago, Hillary thought that Florida wouldn't be a factor. With Obama running well against her, Hillary is getting scared. I see the results in Florida that 50% of the voters will never vote for her. With McCain winning tonight fairly, there is noway that Hillary could beat him with just the Democratic Base. Obama is the only Democrat that can get votes from both sides and Independents. Most importantly, unite Americans for change and hope to stop all this anger.

Obama 08

If Obama had of won it would have been a different story by his supporters. In Michigan they said his name was't on the ballot. Now what, his name was on the ballot. He ran ads and still lost. Anyone who believes no one has heard of him, GET REAL! He wasn't able to give a sermon, you know we all want to hear feel good stuff, we all want to know we can do anything. But after church, you face the real world. If, and thats a big if, he were to win the nomination his own words will be used against him, his book has a lot of ammunition.

CONGRATULATIONS SENATOR CLINTON…

Poor Obama, here's his problem:

1. He lied saying he did not campaign in Florida - YES HE DID BY RUNNING A NATIONAL AD THAT AIRED IN FLORIDA! He could have had the state excluded.

2. He blows off Clinton on the House floor at the state of the union ACTING LIKE A SPOILED LITTLE BABY

3. His race-baiting tactics in South Carolina now makes him the 'black candidate'; judging from results in S.C and Florida exit polls.

MY GOODNESS - THIS MAN IS AN AMATUER AND SO PHONY

I say NO to Obama/Rezko 08′

If the DNC won't allow Clinton to seat her candicates and count them, then the Democratic Party will loose in FLorida and election. Remember year 2000. If i am floridian (i am californian), why will I vote for Democrat if the DNC did not count my vote for primary?

Thank you Florida, you are the best. I will stand up for you, Florida voters, to get your delegates seated. Go Hillary, show Obama what is the real voice of Americans.

Obama does not represent America. Anyone who thinks so has been brainwashed. He will not get my vote.

The longer this race goes on, the more Hillary Clinton reminds me of George Bush. It's just a kind of person I guess, a person who cares more about themselves than anybody else. Anyways, congratulations to her I guess. I think she will probably win, and then all the Americans who voted for her will get what they deserve, just like the poor fools who voted in Dubya.

When Obama supporters say that they never campaigned in Florida, what they mean to say is that they never got to give college campuses the pep rallies they so love.

Rah rah sis boom bah.

Edwards and Clinton should boycott the scheduled debates until CNN, MSNBC and FOX change their bias and subjective political coverage. If their Showcased Choice Senator Obama was to win Florida…the atmosphere would be celebratory and gleeis and the demographics would be BLOWN out of proportions. And yet all those media stations are down playing the fact that Senator Clinton got majority of the votes. Shameful

It never ceases to amaze me when I see the smoke and mirrors that people believe about the Clintons. Hello….Hillary agreed not to campaign in Florida just as did Obama and Edwards. Obama was told by the cable networks and they admitted this, that he could not buy targeted ad time. It was all or nothing so he bought it. He did not step foot in the state and he did not hold "fundraisers" and he has never suggested that Fl. delegates be seated at the convention. There is a big difference in buying national advertising time and in doing what Hillary did–or maybe Florida voters are just confused about that the way they were about the "butterfly" ballot in 2000. Once again, the Clintons prove that they cannot be trusted to abide by their word. Once again Florida democrats prove that they cannot be counted on to use their heads when they vote. DO you really think that the Clintons, with their history, can beat McCain? Not in your state and not in mine.

I am also soooo impressed by the racial tone of the comments of Florida voters. You claim that Hillary didn't play the race card but you comment on race…Just like your candidate. I am an over 50 white woman and I will vote for Obama. Luckily, I don't live in Florida.

The legislature and Governor started this and you go along with it!

you mean he needs diaper change?
I am sure teddie will do that for him…lol

Carlo, truth told. For all the Hillary supporters please listen with your ears and eyes when Obamas speaks of change and inclusiveness for ALL, not some, ALL people. This divisive of the Clintons has been going on for a long time. Just take a look at some of their divisive supporters, Sharpton, Johnson, Rangel, Lewis, Young. Change people, this is not about race, gender or religion. Out with the old garbage.

yeah I still remember those stutters and pausing blah blah blah. That is not america

Obama 08! And not because I'm anti-Hillary. I think he best represents America.

goodnight!

Honestly, Hillary seems so desperate.

I think the DNC made a mistake in stripping the delegates, but they did it. Hillary should have honored the commitment they made.

Hillary just looks desperate in having a victory party for herself.

Ok. Once again it looks like I have to be the voice of reason here. I hate to break it to all of you on here but the Michigan and Florida Primaries were nothing more than a preseason football game. It has no meaning. Unless the starters are playing all four quaters in the game then it means nothing.

Now you want beef with the DNC for doing this to Michigan and Florida? Fine. You have a right to that. But seating delegates or allowing them to count? No.

Let me say this too. If the DNC allows Clinton to seat her candidates and count them then the Democratic Party will be split beyond repair. You will lose African AMericans, Independents, and Moderates.

In fact, if the Florida delegates are seated you might as well give the Republicans the seat.

Obama 08! And not because I'm anti-Hillary. I think he best represents America.

goodnight!

Why hasn't the DNC mention a thing about campaigning in Florida? You can't issue a win statement if you are simply fundraising. And why give a congratulatory speech if you are only fundraising. Humm, spells of a dirty alligator somewhere. Why is she defying the DNC for Florida stance of the primaries.?

Carlo, truth told. For all the Hillary supporters please listen with your ears and eyes when Obamas speaks of change and inclusiveness for ALL, not some, ALL people. This divisive of the Clintons has been going on for a long time. Just take a look at some of their divisive supporters, Sharpton, Johnson, Rangel, Lewis, Young. Change people, this is not about race, gender or religion. Out with the old garbage.

It is nice to know that the Democratic party made the voting process in Florida meaningless for their parties candidates. In true American fashion they negated the votes of several thousands of people. So if they cry disenfranchisement or any other junk, they can only look in the mirror at themselves. I am so glad that I vote Republican where if it my pick doesn't win, at least a winner gets picked and delegates go the national convention. I guess the "change" the democrats want to bring is a politburo style electon process. Way to go comrade Dean. Way to go!

If you are not going to post my comments, then please take this comment box
off of my computer screen. I am tired of wasting time printing comments that
you never print.

I am a John Edwards supporter. I think he is FAR SUPERIOR to both candidates as a Democrat and as a nominee to beat John Mccain in November. However, I believe it is absolutely ridiculous that all you Obama supporters are trying to take this win away from Hillary. If Obama were winning with 50% of the vote you'd all be screaming and jumping around that he "trounced" her just like if Edwards had 50% of the vote I'd be screaming and jumping around about his "thumping" of both the media darlings. However, you have to give Hillary credit. She is going to end up winning over 1,000,000 votes and will end the evening with more votes than the Republican winner John Mccain. She did all that without even campaigning. That's pretty darned significant and all you Obama supporters can't take that away.

Now that I've said that, please consider John Edwards. He is the one candidate who ACTUALLY HAS IDEAS to change this country in a positive way. Obama gives wonderful speeches about change but just doesn't seem to have any real substance.

Edwards '08

this is the reality people , this is to show how she is going to beat obama this coming tuesday . this is why obama said florida those not matter if he where elected for the precidential run , florida people are going to remenber that he said florida those not matter………….i am from new york and this all hillary 08 …..

For all the Billary supporters, please listen with your ears and not with your eyes. Obama does not invoke race, gender or religion in his messages. I have heard nothing but inclusiveness and change for ALL, not some, ALL. Perhaps all of the Billary supporters need to read the divisive statements by Hillary and Bill after the SC primary. Hillary and Bill are coming the realization that petty politics don't buy a state or the people voting in the state.

THIS WAS A BIG WIN FOR HILLARY.. THATS OK IF THERE WERE NO DELEGATES.. BUT IF THERE WERE DELEGATES TONIGHT CLINTON WOULD HAVE STILL WON 50%TO 33%(OBAMA) and 14% (EDWARDS).. CANT WAIT TILL FEB 5TH.. CLINTON 08

unless they change

I am so proud of the democratic voters in Florida! Even with all the biased media telling them that their votes won't count, they acted as true Americans
and made their voices heard, through their votes. Congratulations, Florida!
I am also proud of Senator Clinton for her courage in standing up for what is
right. She will be a great President for our country.

Floridians, your vote counts more than many people realize. Americans, by
the millions, will stand up for you and Sen.Clinton, to get your delegates
seated. We treasure the right to vote, and will speak loudly and clearly to
keep you from being disenfranchised.

Hillary 08!

I understand the people from Florida and their longing to be heard in the nomination process. I have a deep respect for a person's vote being counted. What I don't understand is why Sen. Clinton's campaign is claiming a huge victory when everyone agreed to not campaign in Florida, and for the delegates not to count. It's essentially like changing the rules during halftime during the Super Bowl. No one campaigned in the state, no one got to see Obama, Edwards, or Clinton up front and personal this time around. The voting was more or less purely based on name recognition. If the Florida Democratic Primary results had been reversed, or the polls for that matter going into January 29th I highly doubt that Sen. Clinton nor her campaign would have said "seat the delegates". This would be human, because she would not have benefited from it. I called myself a Clinton supporter. However, when someone who is intensely involved in the process, and watches the coverage all the time, I am seeing that Sen. Clinton’s campaign is doing and saying anything to get ahead. These are not the actions of someone who wants to be a servant leader, but one of self glorification. If seems that “the machine” would do it to anyone who got into the way. “The machine” may not care that one person decides to leave the camp, but others will follow suit should the antics and tactics that we’ve seen change.

A disappointed Democrat,

Ja Mario Jones

By the Way MATT, Hillary did NOT campaign in the state of Florida. She did have a fund raiser which was allowed by the DNC, They could not campaign or run ads but guess who ran ads,,,,good ole obama. So now who is cheating, Not Hillary for sure but your man did…..check your facts before you rant and rave…

Edwards, please get out of race and endorse someone. No one will remember him anyway for very long unless he becomes Vice President.

If Obama wins the Dem nomination, I'm voting for Obama. If the Clintons win, I'm voting for McCain. Go Johny Go..!

If i remain disenfranchised by the party I will become an independent just like many here and Michigan so that is all i can say. Keep your eyes on Florida and Michigan in November if Howard Dean doesnt wise up!

Senator Clinton WON big in Florida and the only reason obama is denouncing her win is because HE didn't win. If he had won, even though there are no delegates involved it would be a big win for him according to him and the media…but since Hillary won, he will say it doesn't matter. Well Super Tuesday is coming up soon and
we will see how that goes. He is so arrogant that he probably thinks he will win every state but he will be in for a surprise. Even Ted Kennedy can not win them all for him. What happened to getting rid of the Old Washington Insiders. You can't get much more "Old Washington Insider" then Ted Kennedy so that just goes to show that he doesn't stand up for what he says. Put your money where your mouth is obama. This WAS a big win for Senator Clinton and I bet you sure do wish it was your win, delegates or not. GO HILLARY

Geez…Hillary's almost a million strong in FL, and over a quarter million (>271,997 voters) over Obama supporters. Yet, Obama campaigned there in August and September 2007 and ran campaign ads when neither Hillary or Edwards did.

GO HILLARY 2008!!!!

Florida's votes does count, it was not a "beauty contest" Florida's voters were heard loud and clear.

It is one thing to have pundits who are either Democrat or Republican, Conservative or Liberal but… to have pundits that are unabashedly biased towards a candidate like Donna Brazille who is more than reflecting on the outcomes of the day. I was watching the news tonight around 10PM and actually had to turn my computer back on to e-mail my disappointment on how CNN chooses to cover the primaries. I have nothing against Ms. Brazille personally however, she was clearly pushing her choice-Hilary Clinton when answering questions regarding states that were penalized because they held their primaries too early and if it made any difference that the other candidates did not even campaign in those states.
As Sgt. Joe Friday used to say "just the facts ma'am ."

With no campaigning in person in the state, I find it very telling that Obama got a higher percentage of votes (33%) than Hillary did in S. Carolina (27%) , where she spents tons of time and money.

I know people who wanted to vote for Obama in Florida, but now Florida has only given them one candidate–the one they could care less about voting for

CAN YOU SAY ( ZERO )

So no one knows Obama in Florida?? Okay Obama campaign, time to get real. They have TV, internet, newspapers and they do have young people. Use all the excuses you want, you lost.

Very poor taste for Hillary to gloat about nothing. It's ridiculous to claim that Hillary won. Of course she "won". She had bigger name recognition. But when Senator Obama has the opportunity to campaign and people get a chance to know him, as they did in IA and SC, they like his message. If Obama had campaigned in FL, millions of young people would've heard his ideas and come out to vote.
The future belongs to the young.
Vote Obama 08!

Now I get to say this to CNN.

CNN you arn't too bright. No delegates at stake?

You're being a little contradictory to your own little "Momentum" outlook on the nominations.

Delegates "are" at stake, just not in Florida. An overwhelming Florida win for Hillary sways the votes of the superdelegates, who in the end, have the final voice in selecting our Democratic nominee.

Hillary has just won many more SuperDelegate votes in this Florida win.

Hillary will be the democratic nominee, clearly after Super Tuesday.

I can't preach enough how I hope there is a clear front runner by Super Tuesday so we can set aside this petty Democratic segregation and rally behind our presidential nominee.

Democrat '08

Obama can never win over John McCain. Why do democrats will vote for him? super tuesday he will loose big time. He says he will get change in washington but what change will he get that former 41 presidents couldn't get. how will he do it? i never seen any answers towards that change

Clinton is next president

The truth about Hillary is that the Media and the people who have access to the media try to portray her for the things she is not. The media and the co-conspirators fortunately are in the minority.

Amazingly upon all the negatives the media portray of her, she is still in the heart of the American people. Look at Florida got 50 %, even if there is nothing at stake and there was also no spin, those who voted are Americans. My take is this, the American people are smarter than what the media think about them…The American people know that when it comes to the Nit-ty-Grit-ty of the Kitchen tables issues, Hillary is the clear winner.

The Bloggers here too are minority and can not speak for the Men and Women on the main street of America, that's why Hillary Rock!
Go Hillary!

OBAMA IS ARROGANT

CLINTON 2008

Let's face reality…it's all about spin. If Obama had won Florida, his supporters would be going crazy and they would be playing "signed, sealed, delivered." Whichever candidate won…they were going to make a victory speech.

Reporting that Obama supporters are treating Hillary's win as a joke because there were no delegates is simply spin.

Democrat

All these Obama lovers SPITE AND HATE and say whatever nasty thing they can about Bill and Hillary clinton.

yet these people DONT GET THE FACT THEY NEED THE CLINTON VOTERS TO VOTE FOR OBAMA IN THE GENERAL ELECTION.

They are so short sighted, they just will whine and complain and say anything mean possible, blowing off us Clinton supporters to the point we will vote for John Mc Cain. Its getting really ugly.

I swear we need to institute a national IQ test before we allow people to vote.

Yes. Go Hillary! Obama lost in FLORIDA because there are not much AFRICAN AMERICAN in Floria. The whole world can see that but some guys in CNN TV still think he can win :=))))))))))

After Obama won in SC, he said it was not about BLACK vs WHITE … but OBAMA BROUGHT THE RACE CARD OUT….LOSER. He won in SC because AFRICAN AMERICAN in SC. Why did he lose in FLORIDA? We will see again in CALIFORNIA….

GO HILLARY!! CALIFORNIA NEXT!! We are ASIAN CALIFORNIAN who are supporting you. You get our votes.

GO HILLARY!!!

Here is the deal

If Obama is winning by March, they will not redo the Michigan and Florida primary.

If Clinton is winning , they WILL.

What a poor excuse for Sen. Obama to use. For his campaign to claim nobody knew him is showing him to be nothing more than a poor loser. Give me a break! You need a better line than that. This election has been a celebrity race between Hillary & Obama from the beginning. To also claim the Florida primary doesn't matter is disturbing. I always believed that every vote counts in America. I guess he doesn't. As well as most of the posters here. What the people of Florida did was huge. They knew that their delegates didn't count but they went anyway. Let's be honest here folks, if it were Obama who won the news would be "Obama wins by huge margin"

The Clinton supporters are just pathetic if not delusional.

Obama and Edwards did not even campain in FL and they took 51%

Per the DNC there were no delegates…..a decision she was fine when it happened.

The Republicans would stomp her like a grape. You folks cannot seem to grasp the degree with which she is despised throughout the country.

She cannot win.

Congrats to the Democrats for yet again snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

BTW: I am an Independent who is absolutely sick of Republican rule…….however I see nothing of substance (as usual) coming from the Dems.

Congrats Hillary. Congrats Democrats!!

Obama, HIlliary, or Edwards is a win for the Democrats. Stop this silly Bickering. Some of you act like these candidates aren't on the same team. We must unite and not allow a division just because the candidate that we feel is best isn't selected. The truth is, any of these candidates are better than any republican candidate hands down. Democrats must stand for one cause, the Democratic agenda. Think Team, not just a Candidate.

I have to remind myself to try to download a sample ballot before going to the polls in November. The 1st time I voted, I was shocked to discover that most of the issues on the ballot were issues I knew nothing about. So I had to make a decision, in the voting booth, without any true knowledge.

Ultimately, this is what occured in Florida. The majority of voters there are making a decision based upon name recognition and MSM. To be honest, I would have voted for Hillary too, if I weren't a total political news junky. You can call a fundraiser or a few national commercials, "campaigning", but ultimately there is a drastic difference between the information provided to the voters in Florida and those in S Carolina, Nevada, NH and Iowa.

And that's what makes the idea of trying to seat these delegates somewhat disheartening. Yes, the voters in Florida should have a say. But without allowing the various candidates to campaign how can anyone claim it's an informed vote? I guess no one cares about that.. just the end result.

Marvin, Marvin, Marvin

"More important whatever happened to having some credibility? Keeping your word? Standing by what you agreed to. (Those are VERY important traits for a Presidential Candidate).

It makes me wonder WHO and WHAT kind of people are supporting this kind of candidate?"

Oh so you do recognize that it was Obama who broke the rules, right? His television ads in Florida weren't campaigning? No other candidate campaigned! This has been repeated a thousand times. Do you just not want to read or is the kool-aid getting to you?

by the way to the other Robert i agree with you keep up the good views you make our name proud and dont worry we will win ! Hillary 08!

Is it just me, or does it seem odd that the republican issues in the ticker have very little activity. 7 to 55 comments all night, Is that because all the republicans are here with the Obamanites to knock Hillary.

SHE WON. Prepare, because next Tuesday it will be the same story.

Why is it ok for other states to vote early but we Floridians get punished? Why did our voting day get moved up and who would do this knowing we would loose our delegates? Only someone that had something to gain from it. I've heard conflicting reports. One that governor Christ a republican is responsible and failed us and another the the democratic party decided this vote would not count. I'm feeling like my vote was stolen again. I am a democrat and my vote was stolen in 2000 and for the past 8 years my country has had to pay for it. I am proud to vote for Hillary because our economy was moving forward and I was only in my teens when Bill was President but I could afford my gas and my bills on $6 an hour and I had my tuition paid. Now continuing my education I make $2000 below poverty level income and am expected to pay $4000 of my tuition and be able to eat, cloth myself, pay my bills and still afford gas that is now twice what it was 8 years ago. I'm tired of struggling because the current joke of a president and his lies have cost our country billions. We are all suffering and it makes no sense to put another republican in office when clearly change is only a 6 letter word to them because change would require open minds and a budget. The Republicans have yet again found a way to make the state that sets the pace in the election not count for anything and furthur prove that they are cheating their way through the election. Just like 2000. Why can't everyone count? We are tax paying citizens just like them and yet again had our voice taken away.

IF THE POOR DNC WANTS TO STRIP FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN OF THEIR DELEGATE VOTES MAYBE THE WINNER OF THEM SHOULD THINK VERYHARD ABOUT DUMPING THE DEMOCRATE PARTY AND GO8ING INDIPENDENT AND RUN FOR PRESIDENT …..SHE SHOULD MAYBE TAKLKE TO ROSS……….

GO FOR BROKE………..

CNN and Obama supporters are amazing. How can you say that this primary in Florida has no meaning because the candidates did not campaign there. In case you have not heard, television, the internet and newspapers do exist in Florida. It baffles me that you would discount the votes of well over a million Democrats! Certainly if the tables were turned the Obama campaign and the talking heads on CNN (yes you Bill Bennett) would trip over themselves to say that this result reinforces the South Carolina results. For once have some objectivity and give credit where credit is due — Hillary kicked some butt tonight.

Disgusted in Illinois

Yeah, congratulations to Hillary, whatever its worth. I really hope somebody ends the Bush/Clinton dynasty. That somebody will be Barack, I have no doubt. I'm looking forward to seeing him win the nomination and eventually the presidency. It's about time we had some one fresh and enthusiastic to lead our hopes and dreams. Don't get me wrong, Hillary is a good politician and I have no problem with seeing a woman in the white house, but it would be like having Bill Clinton reinstated and his time is done as far as I'm concerned. McCain on the other hand, it's very likely he will be making the same mistakes as Bush because he basically sides on almost all of Bush's policies….. not to mention his days are numbered.

Anyway, all the best for OBAMA next Tuesday!

Your "Best Political Team" just a while ago was commenting on Hillary's win in Florida. Your thoughtful commentator said that her win in Florida is "Meaningless." Do you really mean to say that the nearly one-million voters who went out and voted for either Clinton, Obama, or Edwards are MEANINGLESS? The DNC may have taken away the Florida delegates, but please CNN, dont YOU take away the rights of those Americans to pick their next leader.

Why we should care about SC? Anyway in general election SC goes to Republican. We should care about Florida because democrat will have a shot there.

Go Hillary !

any intelligent woman would not vote for Hillary.

CONGRATS HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM WITH YOU GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

None of this matters. The DNC seems to think that everyone is going to get over this and vote Democrat in November, but I seriously doubt that's going to happen. I'm so displeased with the Democratic party. The Clinton tactics. This sanctioning of states but really punishing the candidates who needed to campaign in those states. Turning a blind eye to the nasty race-baiting that's been going on. And now Hillary is openly defying her pledge not to campaign in Florida by having a "victory" rally there. The DNC is a joke.

I thought I'd vote for either of the 3 Democrats in the general election. But at this point, I'm voting McCain.

Obama is my Hero.

1st choice: Obama 08!

If he does not get the nomination, 2nd choice Mc Cain!

Same old misleading headline from CNN. "Clinton wins" they trumpet, when the delegate count isn't a win. There hasn't been a state yet where she has won more delegates than Obama. But CNN keeps declaring her the winner.

And idiots will *still* say that CNN has an anti-Hillary bias.

rob10001:

All three, Edwards, Obama and Clinton attended fundraisers in Florida and Michigan.

And as for who is known in Florida, all three are well know. CNN, NBC and even Fox are and have promoted Obama in a huge way, not to mention his TV ads. Edwards has campained for President and ran for VP in Florida. So your agrument holds no water.

Education reforms should be top on the menu of issues after reading what you Obama supporters, the so-called ME-Generation, because you don't even know how to do a little research.

POOR FLORIDIANS ARE SITTING HERE POSTING ABOUT HOW A HILLARY CLINTON VICTORY IN THEIR STATE IS SIGNIFICANT.

Becky said: "Obama never even thanked any of his supporters in Nevada…he just sleezed out of town like a jerk that he is!! "

Hillary did the exact same thing in SC. I dont think either of them should have done it, but there you go.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
BILLARY THEY ARE VERY VERY YESTERDAY
ZERO DELEGATES
BILLARY PEOPLE DON'T CRY

YOU TAKE ZERO

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

YOU CAN BELIEVE IN CHANGE

YES YOU CAN

OBAMA IS OBAMA FOREVER STRONG LEADER

GO OBAMA, WE NEED YOU

I urge all Florida voters to write CNN and other networks to tell them you are important. The spin is ridiculous.

Hillary runs away from South Carolina (where delegates actually count) to Tennesee where she knew she would be defeated.

She chooses to place her name on the ballot in Michigan and campaigns in Florida, where she knew she would win, despite the fact that no delegates are going to be awarded there.

GO OBAMA!

It is clear that the Clinton's may be succesful in one are of their campaign, and that is continuing the racial divide in our country. Through the use of race in their rhetoric in SC, they have clearly positioned Obama as the black candidate running for President. Senator Obama remains the only candidate that can bring about uniting this country.

He is not running on the color of his skin, or his gender, but on the content of his character! The issues, and the fact that he can inspire Americans to dream of better tomorrow.

It is time for a change in America, and not a return to days of old. Be that republican or the Clinton administration part II.

This will not get posted since CNN is anti Clinton, but here it goes. It does not matter that Hillary did not get delegates from Florida. What it shows, is when the news media plays down the votes where the voters are saying "we know we won't have a say in who gets the nomination", but this is who we would have supported in November. Now in November when the democratic party, CNN & MSNBC has annointed Obama as the candidate, we will withhold our votes by not supporting the democrats and vote the republican ticket.

Everybody is harping about FL does not mean anything, which you are correct, but i take it the other way, without enormus amount of money and ads being poured into the state means the people had to use their best judgement. What a nice way of doing it huh, crazy idea let the people decide. tAKE OUT THE AD TEAMS, THE SOUND BITES AND just let the people decide. Hey i am not crazy about either, i was a dennis k supporter, but to me this is an indication of what happens when ads and money is taken out of the race.

Hillary DID NOT campaign down in Florida….but all the candidates did go down there for fundraisers…Obama did…Edwards did….Clinton did….so what….She went down to thank her supporters after the election was over…..Obama never even thanked any of his supporters in Nevada…he just sleezed out of town like a jerk that he is!! GO HILLARY!!!

Obama-Clinton or Clinton-Obama

We are all on the same team. We all need to support who ever is selected to be the nominee.

For those who don't know. Clinton and Obama vote about 94% alike on ALL issues. And that is the truth.

Democrats 2008

LOL Only thing worse than Hillary Bragging about winning an empty Primary is you Sad people argueing about it.

Who has the LEGITIMATE Delagate lead? Give you a hint….NOT HILLARY!

Marvin, Dallas TX. Your a bit clueless. Clinton has plenty of credibility. She broke no rules. SO WHATS THE ISSUE? She won. Actually, she kicked Obama's butt. Guess what people. Florida has TV's. They know what's been going on, and they choose a canidate based on her record, her plan for American, and her experiance.

Obama and Republican supporters alike need to stop lying about the Clinton's.

No delegates = no importance = no kidding.

I wonder if those same Democrats will show up again in November for the election that COUNTS??

It's sad to think that the 796 super delegates which are the equivalent of nearly 4 Floridas can vote any way they want. It doesn't matter how many hundreds of thousands of Democrats show up to vote in primaries - their votes will be ignored and essentially over-ruled by the whim of the super delegates. Just you wait and see!

Fellow Democrats, time to question the national party as to why we even need super delegates in the first place? Don't they think we're educated enough to pick a candidate by ourselves? This reeks of "fat cat", old-style mob boss politics going on in a back room. Enough is enough.

So this is how Obama is going to unite the world. Ha. He can't even unite his own supporters, they do nothing but spit hatred.

hey marvin from dallas

credibility? keeping your word?

all 3 agreed NOT to run tv ads in florida…and obama was the only one that

ran tv ads in florida…so who is the one that is not credible..not keeping there word?

and guess what marvin?

he still LOST even with the tv ads and he says florida was a beauty contest

OBAMA IS A LIAR AND A FAKE…HE IS ALL HYPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can you ingnore the democratic votes of more than 1.5 million people in Florida??? This is disenfrenchising your fellow citizens.

How can you ingnore the democratic votes of more than 1.5 million people in Florida??? This is disenfrenchising your fellow citizens.

Obama ran ads on TV for days in florida - even today they were on the TV down there.
Dont tell me about cheating. Obama is the one who cheated - why is no one reporting on this?????????????

I just don't understand what there is to be happy about.
Why is Hillary so proud to have won another uncounted/unfair election?
She's only trodding on the face of the DNC's decision in doing so.
And she is only happy about winning in states that don't count.
That just simply doesn't make any sense, and it should scare her supporters.

JONAHTHAN IS RIGHT

REMEMBER FOLKS..IT WAS TIM RUSSERT AT THE MSNBC DEBATE

THAT TOLD OBAMA HE PULLED THE RACE CARD FIRST BY DISTRIBUTING TO

PRESS THE 4 PAGE MEMO ABOUT HILLARY AND RACE…AND THAT IS ONLY

WHEN OBAMA SAID "HENCEFORTH IT WILL STOP NOW" LOL LOL

OBAMA BROUGHT THE RACE CARD OUT….LOSER

JUST LIKE HE CAMPAIGN HERE IN FLORIDA WITH TV ADS AGAINST
DNC RULES….LOSER AGAIN

AND STILL LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HILLARY 08

Even though Hillary will not receive delegates, it is very important to see what the voters of Florida have to say. To those who say they didn't get to know Obama because of no advertising, anyone would have to have their head in the sand to have missed the many debates and news coverage. This is a win for Hillary! I'm disappointed that CNN decided not to air Hillary's entire victory speech.

In my opinion, neither Obama or Clinton did much wrong:

Obama ran ads in FL, but it was part of a naional campaign, and it would be impossible to not run them in FL, so that's fine.

Clinton did fundraising in FL, a little suspect coming so close to the primary, but still not violating the rules.

Clinton is obvilously trying to play up this win, even though face it, it doesn't count. And it's not Obama or the DNCs fault, its Floridas. The DNC told them that they couldn't put their primary before Feb 5, but they did it anyway… they deserve to be penalized. It's too bad it happened, but it did. This sudden concern from Clinton is pretty phony: if she cared so much, why didnt she bring it up months ago when it was decided. All of a sudden she needs delagates and attention, so she makes a big deal about it to bring media attention to her. It's all obviously fake, so there you go. Anyway, which ever candidate wins, the delegates will obviously be seated eventually… the DNC wont want to annoy either state. But should this count now? No.

Why is it that the 4th place Republican received more tv air time than the winner of the Democratic primary tonight? I don't care if no delegates are awarded from Florida or not. The fact of the matter is that Hillary Clinton will have received over 1 million votes by the end of the night. That is incredible considering that no one campaigned there. Shame on CNN for being so one sided. If Obama were winning 51 to 31 CNN would be hailing it as the another example of Obama's unstopable momentum. Since it is not your media darling who is winning you are censoring the winner. Shame, shame, shame.

Peter, AZ. I live in South Carolina. This is a state that matters very little. We are a rebublican state, only going democrat for Bill Clinton in the 90's. Once again, SC only was a gage of the African American vote. Florida is a swing state, that more than triples the population of SC. Florida is crucial for the democratic party to win the general election. SC is not. Once again, people do your homework.

While this is a delgate race, its also important to remember that every vote matters and its wrong to dismiss the people of Florida because they voted for Clinton. Stop crying people when it doesn't go your way. Anyone had a chance at a victory in Florida. Obama's campaign will say this is not important, but trust me, it is.

A comment from an outside international observer.

Florida is a good example of what will likely be the choice of states where all people groups are represented. The vote of one candidate equalled the total vote of South Carolina.

When everything is considered in the US melting pot. Hillary wins

We ALL knew that this is what would happen. I posted this scenario back in the summer and I am sure others did. Hillary would use this false win to get media coverage. I further believe ALL this moving around primary’s was for Hillary’s doing. Being there is NO SUCH THING as a coincident in politics, one just have to ask WHO benefits from each Primary being moved? The answer will tell you who would also be behind these stunts.

More important whatever happened to having some credibility? Keeping your word? Standing by what you agreed to. (Those are VERY important traits for a Presidential Candidate).

It makes me wonder WHO and WHAT kind of people are supporting this kind of candidate?

It is so funny to see Obama supporters making excuses and spouting sour grapes remarks because Hillary won in Florida. I guess that her win there removes the excuses that Obama and Edwards were not on the ballot. Face it folks - Hillary won - delegates or not. It is Obama that violated the DNC rules in Florida by airing ads (yes relative of mine saw them). You Obama supporters need to stop spouting nonsense and be fair.

Go Hillary!! California will also hand you a win as big as in Florida next week. My family of 8 (yes all 8 of us and all eligible to vote for you) will definitely be voting for you on Feb 5 in the California primary. We are sick of the biased media reporting, the Obama rethoric (as well his supporters) and all the negative comments about you in blogs.

We know how you have received results and have weathered all the unfair media and right wing attacks all these years and we will support you. We are a well educated family (3 of us have Phds) and we are all educated on what you have done.

We will also be donating to your campaign.

HILLARY 08!

It is unbelievable how even CSPAN refuses to give Hillary credit for a big win. I could not take the snubbing of my State's Democratic voting so I switched to CSPAN & just got more of the same nonsense about this being meaningless. They also had the nerve to say that she won because the Clinton's have name recognition. Obama advertised here for the past 2 weeks on cable MSNBC & CNN (I do not know about FOX because I rarely will turn it on). Florida is a bellwether state whose trends reflect the entire nation's.

Some of you must be completely stupid.

OBAMA CAMPAIGNED IN FLORIDA. Hillary didn't run a single ad there, but Obama did.

Hillary attended a fundraiser on Sunday. Fundraising, which Obama also did, is allowed under DNC rules.

SO TECHNICALLY OBAMA IS THE ONE WHO LIED AND BROKE HIS WORD.

Oh and by the way, absolutely Hillary should fight with every measure including legal action, should it come to that, in order for Michigan and Florida's votes to count. WOULD YOU WANT YOUR vote to not count? I agree that some sort of penalty should occur for states that break the DNC rules BUT TWO WRONGS DO NOT MAKE A RIGHT.

The DNC should be ashamed. Ashamed because of the history the democratic party has with votes not counting, voter disenfranchisment and elections lost because of such.

It's funny people claim other candidates weren't in the ballot yet they got votes…people get a brain Hillary has won 2 states now where she would have gotten delegates if it wasn't for the Democratic Party Stupidity to remove their Delegates.

I am very ashamed of the news constant racism talk especially of the Obama-Jackson comparison I mean for god's sakes is comparing an african american to another african american racist now? it is clear to anyone with a brain that Clinton got asked a question and he answered it and was basically saying "Hey the race isn't over yet, look at Jesse Jackson he won SC yet he lost the nomination" so if this is the way Obama and his aides will handle themselves in office people prepare to not be able to say a word about him because you will quickly get accused of racism every single time you say something that goes against what he wants, get mad or not that's the way it is looking, anything anyone says is racist according to Obama's Camp.

For all the people that are trying to diminish Hillary Clinton today in Florida, let me say IT IS A REFLECTION OF NATIONAL POLLS & SUPER TUESDAY STATES!!!! She is ahead of Obama by the same margin in national polls than in her win in Florida…SC & Iowa are not a reflection of all america…Florida prove to be just that…

The tide is turning - Obama 08

to joe:

Obama's ads were national on CNN and were unavoidable that they were shown in Florida. There were not ads directly in Florida.

Clinton had robo-calls going out tonight and my mother even got one!!

Please stop saying FLORIDA does not count for the democrats. We are a very political state. Clinton won the state and has every right to act victorious. We do not need political ads to tell us how to vote.

I don't understand how the democratic party can ignore almost 1 million votes in Florida and the votes in Michigan. They are taking away from the rights of each citizen to decide the candidates they see most fit. Republican, Democrat, or Independent, you must be disappointed.

funny how the Obama supporters say that Hillary campaigned there in Florida…. the facts are that all she did was fund raise…. which was still allowed…. the facts also are that Obama ran nationwide campaign ads which did play in Florida and Michigan and he was the ONLY democratic candidate to do so……

she is also the only democratic candidate to appear in both Florida and MIchigan to thank her supporters even though the national committee chose to violate the constitution and not allow the people in those states a voice in this election process……so who is more presidential and cares about people and not just themselves?

Congrats Hillary!!

Listen, I am an Obama supporter, but a democrat first. I will support whoever wins the nomination. It looks like most of you are democrats or at least identify as such. Don't be juvenile, select who you want as your candidate, whether they win or not is not as important as the democratic agenda.

For the first time in years we have three candidates that are worth considering.

Democrat 08!!!

Pete

Sorry but you are wrong it was the Republican Governor Mr. Crist who signed into law the bill that moved the primary date. The Democrats had no control over it.

All i have got to say is that for someone supposedly beloved in FL and basically ran unopposed again like MI (only difference is the uncommitted vs actual candidate names), she still can't win convincingly and finishes same as MI.

All this celebration is simply showing desperation starting to creep into the Clinton campaign. They need everything, even meaningless wins, to show momentum for the campaign.

If you really look at the numbers, in five caucus/primaries, Clinton has a lot to be worried about. In two of her victories, she either lost or tied Obama in delegates and in the two Obama victories, Obama pulled ahead in delegate counts (excluding super delegates). This is really not looking well heading into Super Tuesday, where Hillary needs a strong showing to regain momentum. Will Super Tuesday give her enough to eventually win the nomination? Stay tuned …

I think that every one has the right to Vote and It be counted.They take this from us what do we have !!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama did not change his mind about delegates in FL. If he recieves the nomination he would have no problem seating the delegates, as ALL the candidates have suggested.
HRC won off of name recognition, the people of FL don't know much about Obama and Edwards.
I suggest giving MI and FL their voice back by scheduling a special election in the spring and allowing ALL candidates to campaign there.

I am so glad Clinton won. I hope they give her the delegates she deserves. I really hope CNN takes this victory for Clinton and make it a positive story tomorrow. CNN seems to only show negative stories on Clinton and give positive PR to Obama. CNN isn't fair. I wish Americans would just see that Clinton has the experience needed to run this nation. Americans need to see that Obama is nothing but a preacher. He is all talk and no action. Change and hope isn't going to help America. It isn't going to help the millions of uninsured Americans, or the economy. We need Hillary Clinton in the White House.

Once again Hillary Rodham-Clinton's foresight has placed her in the forefront. I want a president who believes that the entire America has a voice - independent of the one the DNC decide to give or take from them. I live in Florida and I am yet to see a Clinton ad; however, I am bombarded with ads from Barack Hussein Obama. Oh yeah, I am black; and I am not basing my vote on the color of the candidates' skin as was done in SC. I am voting for the BEST candidate, HILLARY. I'd rather go back to the past than face an unsure future. After all, we do need hope , but I am sure I can't take hope and inspiration to the bank; neither will it pay my student loan, provide me with health insurance or pay my mortgage. The GOPs will eat Obama alive.
GO HILLARY!!!!!

Hillary will win in supertuesday specially in the big states with mix demografics,I'm a hispanic from VA and I wish this election is not about race, but I think both sides are guilty of playing the race card,Kennedy endorcement will not have any effect in the hispanic vote but I think Richardson's will.I hope that whoever is our candidate have the support of ALL democrats and defeat Mc Cain

Let's face it:

Hillary whooped his Tail Tonight.

There is no other way to say it.

Delegates or not, this speaks volumes:

SHE WHOOPED HIS BEHIND!

It means another republican president. Can you see that 18 wheeled mac truck coming down the road at you again libs??

HEY D.K.

HILLARY AND OPRAHAMA AND EDWARDS ALL HAD THERE NAMES ON THE BALLOT

LARGEST FLORIDA VOTER TURNOUT…..OBAMA RAN TV ADS

AND STILL LOST…WHAT DO YOU MEAN POOR HILLARY

BOTTOM LINE…POOR OPRAHAMA

FOOL

Hillary wants the delegates to count now. She's trying to cheat and she isn't in the White House yet. At least Bill waited until he was in the Oval to cheat. Oh these Clintons. The Republicans will have so much fun with her if she wins. Her big fake smile after her "victory" was pretty funny.

All you people who claim Hillary Clinton broke the rules, its obvious that you do not know what those rules are. Show me where Clinton broke the rules and I will apologize. But there is no break in the rules. She did not campaign. She showed up after the polls closed. All 3 canidates were allowed to privately fundraise. SO WHATS THE STORY. Say it all day long, but Clinton did not break the rules and looks to me won a resounding victory on a even playing field, which she did not have in SC.

Hillary did not campaign in Florida! Please stop lying. She was allowed to attend fundraisers (all the candidates were allowed to, including Obama). Obama ran national ads that were shown in the state. He was the one that was not suppose to do that. HE IS THE ONE THAT TRIED TO DO ANYTHING TO WIN.

Go Hillary!!! A win is a win..unless your Obama and think Florida dosent count..If and I use the work IF he gets the nomination, Florida will turn their backs on him for him turning his back on The State of Florida!!

margaret, great analysis. I absolutely agree with what you said.

The important message that I want to share with you is that the dog and pony show of the Democratic primary in Florida is now over. As an independent, I was very enthusiastic about the candidates from the Democratic party. After all the nonsense between the Clintons and Obama, I think it is time to energize Michael Bloomberg's base for a real change!

Bloomberg 08!

Poor Hillary, No delelgates in Florida, what good does it make to have your name on there.

Clinton has proved that she will do whatever it takes to win. That's been a resounding message throughout her campaign. To correect some people here, Yes Obama did have ads running in Florida, and yes Clinton did campaign in Florida though from what I understand she did not make any large public speeches. Having never stepped a foot in the state, Obama and Edwards won 50% of the votes there, and I think that's something worth analyzing. While I respect the woman for her credentials, it would be a gross error on the part of Americans to elect Hillary Clinton in a day and age when globalization is key and strong diplomacy is a must, in a day and age when America needs a president who can steer American politics away from the status quo toward new and positive change, into office as our president over that of Obama or even Edwards.

Vince Los Angeles:
OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE…..HILLARY COMMITTED TO NOT CAMPAIGN IN FLORIDA….THEN FLIP FLOPS AND DOES IT ANYWAY….THE WOMAN WILL DO OR SAY ANYTHING TO WIN….REGARDLESS OF THE MORALITY OF THE ISSUE!!!
________________________________________________________________

Don't go around spreading lies. No one campaigned in that state. Hillary held fundraisers, which all of them did (and which was allowed under the rules they all agreed to).

IN FACT, OBAMA WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH ADVERTISEMENTS RUNNING IN THE STATE.

Beyond that, over 1 million people went to the polls to have their voices heard and over 50% went for Clinton.

I don't think any candidate is campaigning in every state (Alaska, Montana, Rhode Island, etc anyone) so because no one campaigned there is really a non-issue. Spin it all you want, this was an incredible victory for Hillary.

Super Tuesday here we come…Hillary holding double digit leads in almost half the states.

Errrr…

For all those ignoring history, ALL the candidates committed to not campaign in Florida, including Hillary, as per the Democratic party requested. Obama ran ads, but did not campaign there.

I feel bad for Florida voters, they deserve to be heard, but it's your own state (Democratic) party who ordered that, so please don't think Hillary "did you a favour"… she broke the rules, and it is trying to use it to her political advantage by having a win (i.e not South Carolina) before next Tuesday.

… Don't fall for the political games, it's just yet another broken promise from Hillary, and proof of the 'I don't care what is fair' attitude she has to anyone who doesn't agree with her…

VINCE YOUR WRONG..I LIVE HERE IN FLORIDA

DNC RULE YOU CAN FUNDRAISE BUT NOT CAMPAIGN..NO TV ADS

HILLARY FUNDRAISE

OBAMA RAN TV ADS HERE IN FLORIDA…GUESS WHERE? CNN…LOL

OBAMA VIOLATED THE DNC RULE BY RUNNING TV ADS..HILLARY NEVER RAN ADS

AND HE STILL LOST WITH THE LARGEST FLORIDA VOTER TURNOUT

OPRAHAMA BROKE THE RULES WITH TV ADS AND STILL LOST

HILLARY 08

HILLARY 08

The funny thing is, Obama destroyed her in South Carolina…a state that actually mattered. Way to go Hillary, pat yourself on the back for getting stomped when it matters and winning when it doesn't!

READ THIS
HILLARY CLINTON DID NOT NOT CAMPAIGN IN FLORIDA.
ONLY BARACK OMABA DID BY RUNNING TV ADS.

HILLARY CLINTON DID NOT CAMPAIGN IN FLORIDA
ONLY BACAK OMABA DID BY RUNNING TV ADS.

WE all know that if she gets the normination, the republicans get the white house… I bet the Dems are looking forward to staying out of power for the next 8 years.

A win of public opinion is not nothing. The general election in November, they will count. Obama is rude and immature, nuff said!

Congratulations to Hillary on her winning the Ms Florida contest. Obama supporters, show her that we can lose gracefully. Send her a tiara.

I am a Florida Democrat or shall I say was since I am not going to be any longer since they do not value us and I will not vote Democrat for the top office this time around and maybe never again.

People get your facts straight.

Candidates agreed not to actively campaign in Florida and they DIDN'T.

However, they WERE NOT PROHIBITED from campaign raising in Florida at closed events not in a public atmosphere.

The DNC decision not set these delegates will be reversed.

Obama and others can say the results are meaningless, but that's just their typical BS spin on it.

As the AP reported on his win over her in SC — she 'routed' him here..

Look at the numbers — almost 1 million voters voted in the Democratic closed primary — don't tell me or the Floridians their votes are meaningless.

Congratulations Hillary! Well done. And thank you for not dissing us Floridians.

If the Democratic Party ignores Florida Democrats they will again lose the White House in 2008. Our votes should count it was a Republican controlled legislature and Governor who made this happen and the Democrats suffer not the Republicans. Be warned Howard Dean that the Presidential victory you seek must include a victory here in November. Go Hillary!

This race is going to come down to the super delegates. Even if Clinton were to continue in the polls and voting lead nationally, it is only 42% compared to Obama's 32%. Unless she gets 60% of the votes nationally, they will split all of the voting delegates 50/50. That is how the DNC does it!!!!

What does this mean? The 800 superdelgates and all of John Edwards' delegates would have to fall her way. That is not likely. Obama is racking up the super delegates now that Kenneday has provided cover for those who are afraid of a Clinton backlash. They can now and are breaking to Obama.

This race will be decided at the convention. There is a wind blowing, it is called CHANGE!!!!!!

I say all of that to say this; Clinton and Obama supporters chill out and vote for who you think will best serve this country. Please do not base (your vote) on gender, ethinicity, religion, popularity, who can beat a republican or who looks good on TV.

The economy will turn around because it is a FREE market system, the war will end because the entire nation wants it to end, it is now about finding common ground on when and how, education will continue to be a battle and taxes will always be an issue.

Most importantly, decide based on who can best lift our country's standing internationally……

But by all means: VOTE!

When the DNC punished Florida & Michigan for moving up their votes by stripping their delegates they hurt all of us by saying their votes don't mean anything. I didn't have any say about when Iowa held its caucus any more than the peoples of Florida & Michigan did about theirs (If I did, I wouldn't have held it on a cold winter night that kept a lot of older people from attending). The DNC needs to find way to punish the state party leaders instead of the voters!!!

Hillary supporters are amazing. The Clinton name is well known in Florida for years and yet without campaigning there Obama is doing just fine. You all are very funny:) Anyways Obamas win in SC is larger than her so-called WIN in Florida 58% to 27%. So if Hillary can't equal it then you know you she is in trouble for Super tuesday because everyone is free to campaign.

And NO the delegates will not count from Florida. Another election will be held there come march if Florida wants in, then we will see who truly owns Florida.

Obama leads the delegate count heading into super tuesday so go figure.

Obama will win it all so CRY ME A RIVER Hillary.

All I have to say is this:

The American people will making a grave mistake if they do not elect Barack Obama to be the President of the United States in 2008.

Can anyone say the same thing about Hillary?

I'm not talking about a negative (we will be making a mistake if we elect Obama). I am talking about a positive. We will be missing out if we don't elect Hillary. Can anyone honestly say that?

GO HILLARY GO!! You can and will win the Nomination and the Presidency! I believe in you and your message. Obama cannot win the big states or the popular vote. He has only won the black vote in South Carolina, not the majority white vote. He cannot win and she can beat them all. Come on America, she is the best leader that has a centeralist message for the entire country. The pundents will downplay this night but HILLARY WON!!!! GO GIRL GO!!!! I am hitting the pavement here in Georgia this week to help you WIN, WIN, WIN!!!

NEWS FLASH::::: HILLARY WINS BEATING BOTH COMPETING CANIDATES COMBINED…. THIS SPEAKS VOLUME FOR HER CAMPAIGN AND THE FLORIDA VOTER WANT TO BE HEARD AND AS WELL SHOULD BE.

JOHN EDWARDS JOIN HILLARY CLINTON AND YOU WILL CERTAINLY RECOGNIZE YOUR DREAM TO HELP THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ON THE ISSUE YOU COMMOMLY SUPPORT WITH HILLARY…. THIS WILL BE CREATE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY…. WITHOUT A DOUBT….

VOTES COUNT IN AMERICA THE LAST TIME I CHECKED..

Obama supporters should realize that even though he and Edwards did not campaign in Florida in person, they were seen by Floridians in debates and in the media. IF people wanted to vote for either of them they would have.
This is a clear victory for HILLARY!

I can understand the DNC's position and why they would want to restrict the primary dates, but this is a strange situation for residents of Michigan and Florida. The people who are punished are the voters, who had no say in moving the date forward. It's a bit like your neighbor steeling a car and parking it in your driveway and then you being arrested for the crime.

In short, the right to representation should be absolute, and not subject to removal as a result of policy violation.

An equitable compromise on the DNC's part would be to cut the number of delegates awarded to half in both Florida and Michigan, just like the RNC did here.

Check and see how many old (60+) voters are in Florida.

At least 40% of all democratic voters in Florida are (60+) based off the exit polls.

This sizeable group tends to heavily support Clinton, not Obama. I think part of the reason is that they are not inclined to support a black candidate due to their "segregrated mentality" they still hold from the segregration era they grew up in.

Obama wins the younger voters. He's done it every time. There are not very many young voters in Florida.

This isn't a big win for Clinton.

It is a win that happened because of the natural inclination against blacks in Florida.
