Did Hillary Clinton really win in Florida?
She trounced Obama by 17 points -- but in an outlaw primary whose delegates won't count. Or will they? It all depends on Feb. 5 -- and Democratic Party rules.
By Walter Shapiro [2008-01-30]

  • Symbolic Jousting? I think Not. More Important than that.

    The line symbolic jousting deserves a bit of thought...

    Is it symbolic jousting to point out that one candidate kept their pledge while another did not?

    Is it symbolic jousting to point out that one candidate received MOST of her votes MORE that 2 weeks ago, while one candidate received the majority of his votes AT THE POLLS ON THE DAY OF EVEN WITH OUT CAMPAIGNING IN THE STATE?

    I think not.

    This is the point that the Obama campaign needs to make.

    People voting NOW voted for Barack.

    People who voted early - MANY LAST YEAR - BEFORE IOWA - BEFORE POTENTIAL WRONG DOING IN NH AND NEVADA - BEFORE SC SHOWED THE NATION THE WAY - those antique votes went to hrc.

    The CURRENT VOTE - THE HOPEFUL VOTE - THE ACTUAL VOTE - WAS A VOTE FOR

    BARACK OBAMA!

    HOPE+ACTION=IMPROVEMENT=OBAMA.
