It is now 3:23 p.m. EST. Why has my other comment been lingering in moderation since 8:32 a.m. EST? And another comment of mine for another story in moderation since 1:28 p.m. EST? Is it because both comments are against Obama? They're not just "I hate Obama" comments either.. they're educated comments, even one that is quoted from your very own Time magazine. Stop moderating me, you bunch of Communists!

I love the Clintons and Mr. Obama. However, I will be voting for Mr. Obama. I just hope that this drive to win by the Clinton don't further divide the party. Because at the end of the day, we people for renewal and change will have to work hard to keep from maintaining the course of the past eight year. Unity will be our greatest strength in the election of Nov 08. God Bless America and all of the democratic candidates, they all enlightened us and inspired us. Nevertheless, I hold out for the true promise of unity and renewal of the America promise that Barack Obama has.

Hello All,
I have read all the comments above and felt like to put my view into perspective.
First of all I am a woman, a civil engineer working in California Department of Transportation, came from Ethiopia about 8 years ago. I love this country like my own, I am not a citizen yet and can not vote. But I have been following presidential elections of this country with great interest, morethan my own country- the election process and the freedom amazes me. God bless this country.
Let me share with you what I observed in the 2008 election so far, I favour Obama- please do not go in to race issue, John Edwards is also my second choice. these two guys share honesty and authenticity. I used to like Bill Clinton and also Hillary. I admired her the way she handled the scandal of her husband- I really felt for her. Bill's scandal was sad, but did not matter to me a lot because his presidency overall was good. But now, I started with Iowa caucus and seen Hillary how she changed her tone and turned in to an attack mode in NH. I remember the debate in NH, when she started the attack, she said to Obama "you said Edward is unelectable". What do you think she was trying to do? it did not work for her that night, you know how they responded to her. But unfortunately some people in NH thought the the boys ganged on her. She cried, personally I did not believe her tears were morethan "I was supposed to win". But again, people felt sorry for her. I would have if I did not see how she was when she was winning. That is how she won NH. Then Nevada, everybody knows what happened before the caucus. Then comes SC, if you have seen the speech she gave in Tennesse same night she lost- it was totally fake– thanks to the commentator AL above, ROBOTIC- I have been looking for this word for so long. Thank you. To make things worse, Bill Clinton compares Obama's win to Jesse Jackson– what does it tell you? this man lost my respect big time. How can you be this way in the 21st century in great America???? He must have lost his mind, not just sleep deprivation as Hillary put it.
Let us go to the CNN for Obama comment and Tedd and Caroline Kennedy's endorsement comment. First of all, the media follows these people wherever they go and see the candidates more than we can see. They see what is happenening so go figure it out why they are favoring Obama. Now, if Tedd's and Caroline's endorsement means nothing, why do you think the Clinton's announced the other Kennedy's endorsement at the same time? ask yourself.
About the comment Obama being rude in the state union address, he is a uniter, but that doesn't mean he will allow people to walk over him. Honestly, when I first read the news I was surprised and said "big mistake Obama". But I kept researching what happened and learned that she was bashing him on several occasions before and he did not want that to happen again.
Finally, I will say this– If Obama wins, I think the time has come for America to claim the reputation back-I used to hear growing up. If Hillary wins, I think God wants to save Obama for the next term, in the mean time Hillary needs to clean the mess she created in Washington by voting for the war.
Note: my native language is not english, so please forgive me for some of the broken one. God bless you all!!!!!

Mr. Obama
The Clintons attempted to play on our greatest collective fears. Ironically, and to their dismay, America perception of race in terms of aptitude ended 30 years ago. I pray each night that you remain above the fray and concentrate on the issues of today and the concerns that affect tomorrow's generation. You have a gift that only comes from above; the gift to unite through effective leadership and a genuine concern for your fellow citizens. Go Obama!

Is there a comparison? Hardly any as Hillary “clinton” is no match for Barack Obama. It is as simple as that. Endorsements for Obama by most important members of Kennedy family and then from a fatherly figure such as former president Jimmy Carter just shows what a fake is Hillary. She of course is hilariously becoming a counterfeit byproduct of a cunning man called “Bill” or no-bill. Hillary may workout well in a toothpaste commercial - for that matter!

mr obama , i pray every day for u and ur family. cos u are a different human being, and i feel and share ur cause for the crusage u have dreamed to commission ur self too. Remember its ok to aim high, and to dream high, but the same inspiration that have geared u to pick this journey is a call from god. Dont stop now my brother , we are all behind u and I am an african brother from west africa , now am an american citizen, I have followed the american politics for over 30 years. So I know.Please from my heart , I will ask if I may, u have decided not to challenge the clintons or respond to any nagative comments, stay that way and play clean all the way. tell the american people what u plan to do on the economy,jobs stimilation, healthcare for all the poor and the needy, i know u are a strong gentleman and u are intelegent to seperate the problem in ur fathers country and the business of america. I have noticed the way u stay away from it, its good stay that way.Please when talking to the nation let them know that u see no colores and no division among all of, so to make the world a safe haven, if u become the democatic nominee, could u shake the world by calling madam clinton to become ur vice? this will heal the world so generousely that u will be considered a hero. both of u will make a good partner in the white house, and with the help of president clinton u all will balance the budget again and we will have another historic surplus.Am an economic major, I also do mortgage , insurance, so i understand how the economy needs to be structured.we need economic tools the are in the economic books to fight inflations recessions,deflations, etc etc, and not wild economics stimulus that will put money in the rich, and business people overseea pocket,meanwhile the same poor americans will be left out again.I have a strong connection of africans from africa and we are mobolishing behind u to make sure all africans who are american citizen should come out to vote and show thier support for u.I have always wanted to get into heavy politic like my late dad he was a hero in my country, being a writer, journalist, and a news paper reporter who owned his own printing press were he printed news all over my countryand fought for the sake of my fellow citizens but yet the things he fourth for were not notice until after 40 years.Today we have freedom of speech, press ,and so forth , so sometimes a good coursed is worth figtindg for. I learned from my dad never to give upm no matter how long, and hard it may take or get,cos success is achieved by those who try but by all means try through a possitive mental attitude which u have my brother.Politic i love, and i want to continue what my father left undone, but i was waiting for the right time. now is the right time mr obama, go for it and do it now, yes we can.may god bless u and ur family.

When i think of HRC's win (LOL) in FL and how much hope that she puts into the fact it will carry her through SUPER DUPER TUESDAY it reminds me of what another canadate talks about , the ordascity of hope. She must take this tainted victory and gloss it up and make it shine and then smack it on the butt so that the whole country can hear the god awful cries of the peoples of FL blind faith. with that being said i like what Hillary has tried to do for health care but what concerns me is that her inabilty to run her own campaign. It wont be just her presidency and i knowv ALLLLLL YOU DIE HARD CLINTON SUPPORTERS KNOW THIS !!. I was raised by a strong single mother who had to take care of five kids on one paycheck so no thier is no sexism on my part but i do know that this country needs progress and it needs change we need someone who not can inspires us as a nation but also someone who inspire's the whole world and President Obama will do just that OBAMA FOR THE NEXT EIGHT YEARS!!!!!!!

I am a die-hard Obama supporter who will happily vote for Hillary if she wins the primaries. I have no problem with many people who place Hillary first on their list of choice candidates, but I do not understand why there is such a large Hillary crowd that speaks vile words regarding Obama. Come on, we are all Democrats. Our issues and proposed solutions are only millimeters apart. Please don't let your enthusiasm be a source of hatred.
(BTW, I realize that there are also some die hard Hillary haters, but I believe we only get them in the Obama camp by default…the "anyone but Hillary" electorate)

If you never believe in yourself how can you believe in others. I wish all people who placed doubt on others would kindly rest their voices and continue to speak to their shrinks about their low self-esteem issues.

As I read some of the posts here I am amazed at the hatred and anger in the pro-Clinton bloggers. After Barack's win in South Carolina, I read so many racial slurs it was amazing and shocking. I flashed back to the 60's…not even the 90's
I ask you "what has Obama done to this country to get that"?
I will answer you with "what Bill Clinton did" to this nation to deserve our anger and outrage"…he lied under oath about a certain activity in the Oval Office…considered himself "above the law".
Between him and Hillary there was no end to the sexual and financial scandals that aired daily on national TV. Those were just the ones that were exposed. He was eventually impeached and disbarred for his deceit. Now I ask you…WHY do you want to have them back in the White House.? Unbelievable…just unbelievable.
To you Clinton supporters (many of whom are flaming racists)…there was another "leader" in Germany years ago that was also "above the laws of the land and decency". See any similarities?
I want much better for our country. I support Obama.

Obama is in a panic. He must be begging and pleading with Oprah to power up her private jet and help him again.
First we see his childlike snub of Hillary in video and photos prior to the State of the Union. Now we see him back to whining by trying to convince people that over 800,000 people in Florida do not matter.

I think Obama is a good guy and smart. However he has been in politics for like two seconds as a career. I understand the concept of if you want fresh fruit, pick it off the tree early thing. However his campaign of change is going to let a lot of people down. What happens when he reaches the presidency and realizes what little he can really do? There are many people of power and position that even the president will cater to in some degree. This is why so many campaign promises are broken. They simply cannot fulfill them. At least Hillary has been exposed to a husband who was president for 8 years and she knows what she is getting into. I think she is much tougher, can make the tough decisions and knows what to do to deal with the influences on the president. Everybody talks about her failing in a universal health plan years ago but do people realize what she was up against? A billion dollar intrenched industry of insurance and big pharma. To even think about taking that on before your own political career officially starts is career suicide but she did it anyway. That to me is a person interested in change and living it.

IT IS OBVIOUS THAT NO ONE ON THIS BLOG WILL CHANGE ANYONE ELSE'S MIND!!
I am an Obama supporter… I will vote for him even though it seems the numbers are against him. Hillary's scorched earth campaign will get her the nomination, but she is EXACTLY who the Republicans want to run against. I challenge ANY of you to argue with that! (Fox News will throw a party the night she wins the nomination!)
THEY WILL EAT HER ALIVE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION.
And you will have only yourselves to blame because of blind loyalty and refusal to open your minds.
God help us all when we get another 4 years of Republican rule as they keep the White House, and re-take the Senate and House.
You read it here, first.

2. Try to afford health insurance
3. Try to get a good paying job
4. Try to pay your taxes
Now you cannot ignor that these burdens were not the result of Hillarys 35 years of service or the fact that her huband Billy signed NAFTA into law. They got what they wanted and now they are set for life. VOTE OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary will not win the general election. That's a fact. There's more parties on both sides will vote against Hillary.
Once McCain becomes the Republican nominee he has to abide by their Republican rules and on their top list: 1. Economy 2. Illegal Alien, 3. Iraq. So go ahead Latino give Hillary and McCain's your votes and see if Hillary becomes the next president and lets see if McCain will be putting you behind the line, which will happen.

Hillary is just not Pres material. Plus she lies BIG TIME. Super Tuesday is the day. She has gotten so hard up she has put her daughter on the trail.

CNN. Where's the Bill? Haven't seen him around lately? Guess he sorta wore thin on people. I can't imagine Bill Clinton keeping quiet for long. Bill we miss your oratory skills of foot in mouth.
As for people being stupid Angela. A vote for Hillary is a vote for someone easily as polarized as George Bush. If she could possibly get in, which remains to be seen if nominated. You are gonna get more gridlock outta Hillary in the end except it will be the Democratic version. I say in the end as the new congress will be Democratic controled and your tax increases will help for all the new mandated social plans coming our way. In the end, Hillary's hands on approach at micro management will doom much of her policies and effective change. Now on the other hand you can get a person that is a intellectual thinker like Obama that understands you give the motivation and inspiration then pick the best and brightest persons that come forward to do the work and make compromises that actually work and accomplish the serious issues we all face. I'm an independent so I do see a little of necessity mixed with desire as that is how things get done. We have a chance in this country to unite and do much better with the correct leadership.

Obama supporters should be getting nervous if he is up against McCain since he gets a lot of votes from independents along with the republicans. This is the same dynamics Obama is going for along with the younger generation. Obama has called people from the 90's the past so many times how does he expect to get votes from the baby boomers such as myself. I thought about and as i have gotten older I am more open minded and wiser in decisions I make more so then when you are younger and make decisions on the spur of the moment or what the fad of the week is. As you are older you have more life experience to base your judgement on. I guess this is why I have not been taken by Obama because they media has made him the rock star. He talks about the past like there was nothing good about it. But I remember good things from the 90's and how today seems like it was in the 80's. Housing market down, recessions, americans hurting, Iran Contra. So please base your decisions on common sense not what they media pushes to get ratings. If Obama is what you want vote for him but you don't have to show hatred for other candidates.

CNN states:
"All the major Democratic candidates had pledged not to campaign in Florida following national party sanctions that rendered the contest irrelevant to the presidential nominating process. None of the candidates have visited, except for private fundraisers, and none have advertised in the state.
But over the past few days, the Clinton campaign called for the Democratic National Committee’s decision not to seat Florida’s delegates at the party’s summer convention to be reversed; announced several major state endorsements, like U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson; and revealed plans for a major election night celebration in the state featuring a visit from Hillary Clinton herself – all factors which may have helped sway late-deciding voters."
Can anyone point to anything that Edwards or Obama have done to campaign in FL? *crickets*
Edwards the King or Queenmaker
Lou Brock
January 30th, 2008 2:01 am ET
A couple quick questions:
If all the candidates, from Clinton to Gravel, agreed not to campaign and compete for FL in agreement with the DNC's sanctions….
1. Why was Hillary in Florida campaigning, oops, I mean fundraising prior to the election?
2. Why did Hillary hold a rally there the day of the election?
3. And why are Clinton supporters doing a victory lap, for an election that NO ONE competed for (wink, wink)?
Is it that bad now? I guess inevitability left the building long ago!

Hillary tied Obama and Edwards in Florida and will divide the 0 delegates. Please, this is a fruitless victory and Hillary must think we're brain dead if she thinks we believe she won fairly.
Seriously, why vote for her? She has been caught lying numerous times and her husband is a bully. Do we really want to listen to her depressing speeches for the next four years? I'd rather vote for Obama who talks as one of the people by saying "we" and "us", instead of "I" and "me".
As a 18 year old high school student in Washington state, I can't wait to vote for Obama! Very exciting. My whole family will go vote for him, even my dad who is a long time republican. He can unite us. Yes we can. Yes we can. Yes we can.

To all the people who write: "If Hillary wins the nomination I am going to vote Republican," that is the most idiotic thing I have ever heard. I doubt many of the Hillary voters would be spiteful enough to consider the same; that is just naive and ignorant. Maybe it's because some of you are too young to remember the last 7 years, or maybe it's because Obama lost big today.

I noticed that the HRC supporters like to type in large caps. Is that because they are the less educated? I think so, just look at what they are saying.
Billary won Florida, as did McCain. The only rationale that I can see is that Florida is filled with so many elderly demented people, they tipped the scale.

Speaking of endorsements, here's what Obama gets from Teddy Kennedy: 46 years of experience in the United States Senate. Except for Senator Robert Byrd, he's the longest-serving United States Senator. Favors unlimited immigration, legal and illegal. He sided with George Bush in pushing the failed NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND. Endorsed and supported loser John Kerry in 2004. And Obama says he wants to bring change and new ideas to Washington!

Hillary is trying so hard to win the race to the White House that she keeps losing her voice.Then all of sudden when she gets a win even when it is one that doesn't count she suddenly finds her voice.How many times is going to have to find herself on the campaign trail.If she has this hard of a time realizing who she is I hate to see her win.She has not forgotten how to be cunning to get what she wants.Not saying she will get it I can't believe that people have forgotten what these two are about.Maybe some are to young to know what they are about but it is not good .And this I'm sure will be brought to light soon enough.

I'm 22 years old and live in GA and it's the first time I ever voted. I advance voted early today. I picked Obama because he inspires and when he speaks I honestly feel like he would make a difference and cares about changing the future for young people like myself. Mrs. Clinton to me seems rehearsed and very robotic. I've been watching cnn lately and when Mrs. Clinton speaks she seems fake and calculated. People that like Bill Clinton are voting for her in hopes that he will secretly be running the country for the 3rd time. I've actually heard many ppl say that they are voting for her because of Bill. How is it that someone that has 35 years of experience, just "found their voice" in New Hampshire. Did anybody but me catch that? She must be a slow learner. VOTE FOR OBAMA

Wow people are stupid… the same dumb majority that elected good ol' Bush Jr. is going to mess up the country for another 4 years (or even worse, another 8!). Has anyone criticizing Obama even looked at his record? In Illinois he did a lot of bi-partisan work and compromised to make everyone happy. Strange concept, huh? All politicians speak in their convoluted non-answers, but Obama does have a vision and solutions to many of the country's problems. In addition, he's getting endorsements from a lot of politicians… among them Senator McCaskill and the Kennedys!!! They wouldn't put their name on any candidate they didn't think was capable of changing the country.

Hillary didn't win anything today in Florida and anyone who says she did isn't very realistic. Hillary traveled back to Florida to claim a victory over a vote that doesn't prove she will be the winner in the general election. She felt compelled to show herself as a winner when over the past couple days, she has been a big-time loser.
It is sad that she tried to make voters overlook Senator Obama's recent victories. . .but she failed. I suggest all of you Hillary supporters to review the recent videos of this lady, especially the one she held after Obama's win in SC. All of the people sitting behind her looked bored and stuned. . .just hoping she wouldn't repeat her same old. . .same old . . .campaign rhetoric. Boring!!! And where is her husband? Obviously he has been sent away, but I suspect this is too late. The harm has been done.
There is no way that voters will not forget the shameful behavior of our former president. There is no way that Senator Clinton can overcome her campaign's failed attempts to bring Obama down.
Compare the rallies of Hillary with those of Obama's where the people are simply reeling with excitement about the possibilities of a future with him as our leader. I simply cannot believe that Hillary will win. Our country is becoming more and more enthusiastic about a new voice in Washington. And it is not Hillary's.
Sorry, but no win, Hillary!
Obama all the way!!!!

The part about Hillarys voice that you don't understand is that is is coming out of both sides of her mouth. I live in Florida and can tell you that Obama got 31% of the vote without campaigning. Once Obama gets a chance to meet the voters of Florda Hillary's numbers will at the very least even out. Truth and integrity will win out over lies and weak character. Hillary nomination=John McCain President

Obama was down by 17% in SC and Iowa. Yet he won in those states after a week of campaigning–and even routed in SC. Yet you Clinton supporters are so blind you don't realize people voted on NAME recognition and not on issues. That's not democracy, and that's why this race didn't matter.
KimSC
January 29th, 2008 10:57 pm ET
Hillary broke no party rules, she did not campain in FL. ALL candidates were allowed closed fund raisers there and they ALL had them. The only one that did any "campaining" there was Obama, one of his TV commercials ran in FL. Part of some national package he purchased and of course explanations were given. Hillary arrived in FL after the polls were closed to thank people for supporting her.
Over 800,000 people came out to support Hillary in FL today, Obama over 500,000 votes, a distant second. A victory for Hillary, you bet! When voters will turn out for you like that with no campaining and no delegates to gain imagine what they will do for her going forward to super Tuesday. FL was an important message state for Hillary, this party is just getting started.
Go Hillary!

But within seventy two hours, Ms Sour Grapes goes to Florida where votes don't count, to thank the voters there. Meanwhile Billy lets us all know that S Carolina vote, was after all colored by a racial preference. Let's nominate her and weep.

By Hillary campaigning in Florida, putting her name in Michigan's ballot after both Democratic Candidates agreed not to campaign in the two states was a sign of DESPERATION, GREED and comeone who doesn't get the CONCEPTS of importance of DELEGATES. Looking at tonights figures, Obama would have beat her in Florida if he would have campaigned.

January 29th, 2008 10:39 pm ET
To call Hillary Supporters stupid is uncalled for. They know full well there are no delegates, but only implore Obama supporters to admit that a LOT of people voted for her in Florida. That is NOT meaningless to people, especially not the Florida voters.
Sure, laugh about how this loss for Obama doesn't count but you won't be laughing for long.
Oh "I hear the winds of change coming"??? What in the world does that mean? Sounds to me like the rhetoric of a high school student council election. Should we vote for the "popular" trendy choice, or should we vote for the nerdy kid who actually has plans for being in office? He says he going to change politics, but he sits next to Ted Kennedy at the State of the Union?? Sounds like HE will do anything for votes.
Clinton didn't campaign in Florida, no one did. She didn't run ads in Florida. She showed up AFTER the polls closed to say Thank you. Wow…go spin that into how she's evil and twisted and a liar.

It was not enough of what the DNC did to the Florida voters, but what CNN did was just as bad, not covering the success of Hillary Clinton winning the Democrat votes.
Now even Obama is acting like the DNC, and CNN, and not giving the voters of Florida credit where credit is due.
Obama is a nothing and those that are following him are following the "Pied Piper". Nothing more! And if by some strange chance that Obama does get nominated, then I plan on voting for the Republican.
Obama if elected, will have our military go into Kenya and help fight their civil war.
WAKE UP AMERICA! We DO NOT need a "Rookie" President, who has neither the skills, talent or the experience to lead this country back from the blink of disaster.
We want Hillary Clinton, who DOES have the skills, talent and experience to lead us into the future and bring change to all Americans!

It means nothing. None of the candidates campaigned in Florida so Clinton won on name recognition alone.

I am glad that Clinton snubed Anderson Cooper and CNN and did not grant them any of her time, given what CNN has been doing to tarnish her image! Reporting is suppose to be an unbiased science, and what CNN has been doing is all biased! Why don't they just come out and officially endorse Obama? It is amazing how much CNN has lost credibility by covering this election the way it has!

This is what I do not understand, instead of talking about the political policies most people’s comments have a race or gender undertone. You wonder why people outside of the US laugh at how its citizens elect its politicians. One of the largest concerns that you guys should be talking about is your foreign dependency on oil, or the fact that innovation is not keeping up with free trade and as a result you are loosing high paying jobs to other economies like India and China. This is just a subset of some of topics people should be focusing on. Who cares about race or gender? You guys should be proud as democrats that you could have a nominee that could potentially be the first black/female president. I don’t currently live in the US and I am as liberal as they come, but even if I lived in the US, I would not vote for either a Republican representative or Democratic representative as they both really have not addressed your countries major issues. The United States is falling behind most industrial nations and they are getting killed by emerging economies and the sad thing about it is that it every day citizens do not realize it.

Greetings, people:
Those who are referring to the Obama AD in Florida are truly ignorant!!!!! This is very serious; most of these people are so ignorant it makes some of us SICK!!
The AD is by CNN; this AD is running and has been doing so in almost ALL the big states. I am an avid viewer of CNN in TX and have been seeing this AD since SC.
Wake up people; other nations truly and correctly laugh at us in the US because most of us are so uninformed, ignorant.. you name it!!!
When I run into so many dumb ones on university campuses, I think the public might be better off!!! However, events like this one, and the cheering for Hillary tell me that some of the people out there are equally ignorant and quite uneducated!!! God Bless us all…
Perhaps the state of Florida should simply stay out of this process, given that they simply DO NOT FOLLOW BASIC, I MEAN BASIC RULES!!!
This will come back to hunt the Democrats as the Republicans will use this so-called win of Hillary against them in the general election:
PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO REGARD FIR LAWS AND RULES OF THIS NATION!!!!

some of you arn't too bright.
This is how the Democratic nominee will be picked.
Sorry to burst everyone's bubble on this one, but superdelegates have that last say so in the democratic nomination process.
Let's look at Florida. 41% Democratic. 37% Republican
We can say this is a primarily Democratic State.
27 Electoral Votes
Who won Florida for the Democratic nomination? Hillary Clinton by an overwhelming margin.
Who is going to be able to pick up Florida in the Presidential nomination against the Republicans? Obama with 31% of the Democratic vote? or Hillary with 51% of the Democratic vote.
Same with California, New York, etc. etc.
Who wins the states with the largest Electoral Votes will win the Democratic nomination. Popular vote is not going to win Obama the ticket. The Clinton machine already knows this. They "are" politics. Hillary will win the Democratic nomination, and it is up to us as Democrats to rally behind her in the presidential election. Super Tuesday will put her as the clear front runner, and hopefully we can place all of this Democratic segregation behind us.

Well just like Hillary left South Carolina and campaigned elsewhere because she knew she was going to lose SC, Obama abandoned FL because he knew there was no way he was going to win there. Obama did not lose Florida because he didn't campaign there, Obama lost Florida because he couldn't win there. Check all the voting statistics if you seriously doubt that, if you've been watching this campaign closely you'll know they favor Hillary bigtime. And this is why Obama is downplaying Florida and saying it doesn't matter now. Too bad for all the Floridians who didn't want to change their primary date but are being disenfranchised now.

Florida is a HUGE victory for the fine Senator from New York. The Floridia speaks volume as it is very diverse and the population is significant. Hillary Clinton beat her challengers by more than 200,000 ! If this is not huge I don't kno what is. And to think the candidates did not campaign, well only Obama did by running tv ads.
I am glad the people have spoken and I hope this trend continues come Super Tuesday! I am looking forward to my state (New Jersey) giving the victory to Clinton !
God Bless Floridia (over 1 million got out of there homes and voted!) and God Bless America!

I see CNN doesn't want to post my comments supporting Sen. Clinton. Well what's new? HAHAH..The voters are rejecting the media hype of Sen. Obama. CNN, MSN and all other media stations will be put to shame very soon. America is seeing how empty your candidate (Obama) is. Hillary is proven, tried and tested and still STANDS. She will be the next President. And as a man I welcome and relish in the idea of being led by a capable, experienced and strong woman!
Hillary all the way!

Hillary and Bill Clinton lost my vote a couple of weeks ago…They will do anything to win. Now, they claim victory in a contest where no one competed but themselves and skewing the results by promising to seat Florida delegates at the Democratic National Convention. For years, I supported the belief that there was a great right wing conspiracy working against them. Now it is obvious that they are their own worst enemy and if you believe the right wing conspiracy story line then the tooth fairy and boggy man are for real. Give me a break!!!!!!

Seriously, you clowns who think Hillary's victories in FL and MI actually mean anything are something else. Come back down to Earth; she didn't get any delegates. With the exception of NH, Obama has won every state that counts.
The worst thing about Hillary's campaign is her husband. I loved and respected Bill Clinton during his presidency, even through the rough times. Now, I firmly believe he's tarnishing his legacy by casting petty stones at Obama and acting as if his wife's campaign is backed into a corner, which it clearly is not.
Their both big-business, Washington crooks anyway; so who cares? We all lose regardless of who's nominated.

I do not represent any candidate, or campaign. That being said I but must comment on how sick and tired I am of the endless anti Clinton spin on CNN and more so on CNBC…just stopping short of calling the Clintons a racist? Lord knows neither of them have a racist bone in their bodies. Then I see an Obama ad on CNN where he touts he was "the first Black elected president of the Harvard Law Review". What does "Black" have to do with it? Isn't that racist in itself or is it only OK to bring up race when it is to your advantage? So CNN & MSNBC's anchors in their designer dress suits, and there Mercedes Benz are spinning for their advertiser, got it. In reality they don't have a clue what MOST American's are feeling living from day to day or worrying what will happen if their kids get sick!…Is this OK?…NOT….WE ARE NOT ALL SHEEP!!! Not every poor person is illiterate, get some balance in your reporting. All in all I'll take Hillary, and thank you for allowing me to come to that conclusion.

Dear Obama:
Did you hear? Hillary creamed you in Florida: 50% to 29%… Oops!!
And that's despite you having shown ads in the state. Tsk, tsk.

Since you Hillary fans are so excited about your so called Florida win. This vote simply couldn't come close to resembling Super Tuesday. Just in case you've forgotten, the demographics of Florida Democratic Electorate: 40% are retired leather faced women who have never had a chance to vote for an leather faced battle ax of a woman. Heck yeah their going to give her their vote. Another 25% of the electorate: Hispanic, who by the way would love to have free health in order to take care of poor old Pedro. Wake up people! Obama may not be the best car salesman, but at least he isn't a used car sales lady! It's time for Real Change in Washington girls….

Florida is a HUGE victory for the fine Senator from New York. The Floridia speaks volume as it is very diverse and the population is significant. Hillary Clinton beat her challengers by more than 200,000 ! If this is not huge I don't kno what is. And to think the candidates did not campaign, well only Obama did by running tv ads.
I am glad the people have spoken and I hope this trend continues come Super Tuesday! I am looking forward to my state (New Jersey) giving the victory to Clinton !
God Bless Floridia (over 1 million got out of there homes and voted!) and God Bless America!

Go Hillary!!!!!!!! Obama speaks in a tongue unknown to even himself. Hillary, as the great analyst from CNN noted about her defeat in SC, 'beat down' Ohbahma tonight in Florida. Wonder how the CNN folks will spin this, besides Susan Malveaux making a complete fool of herself by stating the Oblama camp is laughing at Hillary for her speech tonight. If Bill made these type of statements….the media would eat him alive for racial divisiveness. I smell a rat.
Hillary……..keep up the confidence and congrats on your huge win tonight.

Kathy, well said! I can't wait for next Tuesday! HAHAHAH…I am so excited for Hillary! Florida is just a taste of things to come. The Obama supporters can ignore the Floridians all they want but this victory for Hillary COUNTS big time. It shows her support and it shows how diverse her support is, unlike the results for Obama in South Carolina. America is not asleep and will vote on issues and not based on fluffy, feel good, empty speeches! Go Hillary! New Jersey is waiting for you on Feb 5th !

My support goes to Obama; if Clinton wins the party nomination I will cross party lines and vote republican. I am hoping millions of others will follow suite. I personally will do everything in my means to get either senator Obama elected or help the Republican Party. Why is America so blinded by the Clintons?

The Florida primary didn't matter. Ads or not, Hillary spent time in the state in a week which is larger than any other.
Great speech by Obama by the way.
