With the release of the Obama statement saying it had obtained prior permission from the DNC to purchase the cable buy in all 50 states, since Florida could not be excluded by the cable providers, and this would not be considered a violation of the earlier agreement not to campaign in Florida, it does appear that once the South Carolina primary is over, the struggle for the PR campaign as to which candidate has "won" in Florida, will openly wage.

Looks like the gloves are off.
