HILLARY WINS FLORIDA......840,628 -92% OF VOTE
Although the pundits and obama supporters in here will write off the HRC win in the Democratic primary as a beauty contest, I can't help but to think that when a candidate who didn't campaign in the state at all comes in first ahead of all the Republicans, who have been campaigning hard there, that is to significant to ignore. And it'an even bigger victory because the Democrats who voted for Hillary knew their vote didn'even count.

So if the Democrats don't blow it by electing Obama I think this is an indication that Hillary would win by a landslide in the general election.

3. That should be the talking point (IMO)
She got more votes than any republikkan.

You can be sure that if the situation was reversed and insane got the most votes of anyone running, that would be the headline on all the 24-clueless networks.

You can beat Obama. He's too inexperienced. You're not.

6. so what? That and a $1 will get her a soda
She had to do SOMETHING to blunt the fact that she got HAMMERED by Obama in South Carolina and the Kennedy dynasty gave their endorsement to Obama.

8. The voters did it
Are you saying that South Carolina and the Kennedys worked against Obama?

7. Obama supporters are touchy tonight
I hate to think what they'll do if Edwards starts cathing up or passing him.

12. I would not base the results here as an indicator of what would happen in November
At this point McCain may have increased the odds of receiving the nomination. If he does the Democratic nominee needs to be decided soon after. Otherwise McCain might obtain an advantage in solidifying his campaign operation.

On Hillary's win in Florida there are those say that it doesn't mean anything. It may or may not. But there is nothing to prevent a voter from doing a no vote instead of voting for one of the candidates.

Will Hillary be able to win Florida in November? Are the numbers there that project a win for Obama?

What was the turnout in the last 4 Presidential elections for Florida? And how did that translate for the General Election?
