It's a shame FL broke the rules and doesn't matter.

I'd look for some new FL Leaders if I lived there.

[neutron]

7. I think FLA should be forgiven

because I don't see the point in pissing them off.

[joshcryer]

13. FL's delegates will be seated unless Obama doesn't want them to be.

[Kittycat]

19. So you know this as fact?

[Maven]

29. There is no WAY the DNC will allow FL to be "thrown away" at the convention.

It would be suicide in the GE.

[okasha]

31. There has been talk from the beginning that the delegates

would be seated at the Convention. It's not a new idea, or unexpected.

They'll be seated whether Obama wants them to be or not. The party cannot afford to be seen to disenfranchise the voters of two states (even as they wrist-slap the idiot legislatures who scheduled the primaries early)that have the potential to tip the balance in the general.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

1. holy crap that's a blowout

[Thrill]

2. YAWN

The candidates couldn't campaign there. So she wins on Bill's record and name.

[AGirl]

11. Hillary is nothing, just a simple woman and a wife without Bill, right?

[AX10]

28. Sexism is alive and well from the Obama-side.

[emilyg]

38. You underestimate a brilliant woman.

[Tulkas]

3. no delegates, nobody cares

[Maven]

4. Voters care.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. They Should Care

If Obama gets the nomination the Repugs won't have to spend a dime to hold the state...

[Herman Munster]

22. The other impressive thing from this poll

27% of the sample voted early. From newspapers, 400,000 dems voted early already. So if the 73% LV number is correct in the crosstabs, that would mean more than 1.5 million democrats would have voted in the primary and Hillary would have gotten more than 750,000 votes. That's hard to ignore considering Obama got just under 300,000 in his South Carolina blowout.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

23. I Voted On Friday

I talk to a lot of garden variety, read not activist, Democrats and they have no idea that their votes "don't count."... When I explain to them the delegate brouhaha they give me a wide eyed look...

[Yossariant]

37. Great news if those numbers hold

Especially considering that Barack has been campaigning there and she has not.

I read that the DNC could take away the delegates of anyone who broke the pledge not to campaign in Michigan and Florida.

And I think that that is why Barack is so upset about Hillary's request to seat the delegation.

Well, that and those numbers.

You do a great job, Herman.

:hi:

[UALRBSofL]

40. I Agree

I haven't voted. But, your right, most folks don't know there vote doesn't count. Also, Hillary asking for our delegates to be seated and Barack is fighting it, come GE they may turn to a 3rd party or a write-in for Hillary or John once all the hoopla starts and MSM covers it.

[Clintonista2]

6. It's called the bandwagon effect

[AX10]

9. So you are pro-disenfranchisement.

:puke:

How nice of you.
:sarcasm:

[scheming daemons]

25. I'm pro "keeping your word"... Hillary lied and broke her word...

...to follow the DNC lead and not campaign in Florida.

If she won't keep small promises like this.. what kind of President would she be?

She agreed to the rules about Florida and Michigan... and now she's reneging.

Where I come from that's called cheating.

...fits into her profile of "doing or saying anything to win".

are we SURE that Karl Rove is not running the Hillary campaign?? REALLY SURE??

Sure seems like it....

First Bill morphs into Lee Atwater... and now this Florida and Michigan hypocrisy.

[AX10]

27. She is not campaigning in Florida...

but Obama is doing a Bush and advertising on the air in Florida.

[joshcryer]

15. Those delegates will count, the state party is saying they will count. Dean and Pelosi said they...

...count. So please, don't delude yourself.

[RummyTheDummy]

26. And yet they won't count

SO please, don't delude yourself.

[Tom Rinaldo]

16. If no one cares they won't bother to go to the trouble of voting tomorrow

We will know soon enough.

[Diane R]

5. WOW!! She does GREAT with no opponent!!!!

[Maven]

8. No opponent?

All three candidates are on the ballot there.

[Lucinda]

21. They are all on the ballot and Obama has been advertising in Florida.

[in_cog_ni_to]

12. Wow. That's pretty impressive.

Nice job, Hillary!:thumbsup:

Now, John Edwards REALLY needs to get 15% of the votes! GO, JOHN!

[Tom Rinaldo]

14. Why is Edwards doing so poorly with minority voters?

That is what jumps out at me from this. Why does Clinton get 80 hispanic votes for every one that he does? Both of them are white. They run much closer among white voters. Yeah the poll might be off but still.

[jackson_dem]

30. Bill Clinton's record

Hillary hasn't done anything Edwards hasn't for minorities. Both have perfect records on minority issues. So does Obama. It can be argued Edwards' policies do more for minorities as a whole. Whatever the reason for it it is not something based on their records since they all have the same record on minority issues.

[sfam]

17. Wait till they see the handshake...nt

[Lucinda]

18. Should be really interesting once all the absentee ballots are figured in

[AX10]

24. Early voting in California too.

[Lucinda]

32. I heard the numbers were huge in Cali and there is a good majority for Hillary.

:thumbsup: Sounds great to me!

[Cameron27]

20. Wow!

K&R

[usregimechange]

33. Delegates: 0

[AX10]

34. The delegates of every state will be seated.

It would be dumb to piss them off.

[GoldieAZ49]

36. True but

It is a huge crucial voting block and the results will get national coverage

I hope the Kennedy endorsement helps tomorrow, not much effect on all the early votes cast.

[GoldieAZ49]

35. more votes were cast early in Florida than IA, NH and SC combined

400,000
Florida is HUGE

Hillary is running national ads as well as Obama

It will be interesting to see how many more votes will be added tomorrow, polls are not all that accurate but Hillary has a definite lead

[flyarm]

39. this has been planned by the DLC and Clinton's for a very long time now..

this has been orchestrated by the FDP since last spring..

several of us have posted about this many many times..this is not a surprise.

Edwards got this Hispanic families votes today!!

[suston96]

41. One thing about voting rights - they cannot be turned on and off by political party hacks...

...and one more thing about the right to vote - all votes must be counted.

Go over to the election forum. They know all about this. They will explain what they have been fighting for all these years.

The Democratic Party - here's to you: the champion party of voting rights - denying the voters of two big states to have their elections count. How will that play in November?
