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]

  • No I dont think the people of Florida are idiots

    But this "election" does not count.

    Does it mean something? Absolutely. We can celebrate that a million Floridians turned out to vote including my dear old Dad who supported Hillary last night.

    But unfortunately we cannot count them. It sucks. Yes, agreed. But that is the way it is.

    I do not think Florida voters are idiots, anymore than I think Obama supporters are idiots as HRC supporters keep hinting at in here, nor do I think Hillary Clinton is a bad person, nor Obama is rude.

    None of that.

    I think this was a state-level gamble that backfired not only on the voters of those states, but on everyone else.
