<p>I agree she will try to cheat. This will be a true test of the Clinton machine at work. It is so sad that the Clinton tag team can’t quite ever play by the rules…</p>
<p>A comedian the other night was making fun of the dems, joking “hey look, the dems are actually saying Bill and Hill are lying”</p>
<p>“I bet that the real tie-breaker will be Edwards after Super Tuesday and he will thow his delegates to one candidate.”</p>
<p>That is true. Whoever bids the highest price, he will sell his delegates. But I think the delegates are not bound to obey him.</p>
<p>Ya know, I was resigned to support her if she got the nomination, but with every stunt like this, she’s making it harder and harder. </p>
<p>If the Dems give those delegates to her after saying they wouldn’t, it might be back to third party time for me.</p>
<p>“Hillary did precisely this with her MLK statement. Her words were literally true absent their context. When taken in context we see she has said something that is far from innocuous and indeed that shows contempt for her audience.”</p>
<p>The true context is that Clinton (both Clintons, really) have been strong supporters of civil rights for years and years, and I think it’s highly likely that they do, in fact, admire Dr. King now. For Novak (and you) to obsess about the fact that she was a “Goldwater girl” in 1964 is the real failure to see the context. To build anything out of this is just as absurd as the Obama “snubbing” mini-flap and any of innumerable other faux-mini-gaffes made by all of the candidates. It is an effort to find hidden evidence of a secret flaw in the candidate, rather than discussing their strengths, weaknesses, and positions on the issues on the merits.</p>
<p>hillary - 856,944
McCain - 693,425</p>
<p>Hillary got 163,519 votes more than McCain. This was a huge victory for her and the articles in the Miami Herald are treating it as such. They say it is comparable to what will happen in Florida in the general election.</p>
<p>I think they are required to throw whichever way the winner tells them to throw it. Think about it in another way…if your candidate is offered a good position, supposedly he wants AG, why wouldn’t you throw that way, when there is no promise on the other side. Something is better than nothing</p>
<p>Mercy,</p>
<p>I can’t follow that logic, b/c there were 5 candidates for republicans. Also, I think this will be the biggest turn out in recent memory. </p>
<p>Hillary has a problem with FL…many military members and retirees who will run to vote against her. Add to the factor that the average age is older who may be independent and side with McCain</p>
<p>Hunt, great posts.</p>
<p>Clinton campaigned (…oops, I mean fund raised) heavily in Miami. Of course the Miami Herald is trying to get some media attention. Miami wants to feel like their votes meant something, even though they really don’t. This is great spin though.</p>
<p>I just heard a great line in NH.</p>
<p>(…Which is worse, The fact that Clinton may be a lying crier, or a crying liar?)</p>
<p>Remember the cry heard around the world? Now her pledge to not campaign in Florida may be the lie heard round the world. </p>
<p>It just never ends with the Clinton duo. It is no wonder the media loves them!</p>
<p>Actually she didn’t campaign she did fundraisers…parsoning words, but Obama and Edwards also did fundraisers in Florida</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I believe Edwards will stay in until the Convention, where-- as his campaign manager has said-- he’ll end up being the power broker. They’ve also suggested that between now and then, Clinton and/or Obama could implode, and he ends up winning the nomination. I honestly don’t see either Clinton or Obama winning enough delegates without him (w/o his delegates).</p>
<p>That is why he staying above the fray…he also is the Rimney of the dems, he has more than enough money of his own, to keep him afloat</p>
<p>Edwards is out today…</p>
<p>AP is reporting this morning, according to the Today Show, that Edwards will drop out of the race probably today.</p>
<p>Could you provide a link to that? I’ve not seen any news about that, including in our local paper. In fact, our local paper has a huge article about Elizabeth getting back on the campaign trail, after taking a couple of weeks off. The same paper had another article stating that in TN and in GA, Edwards has the lead among independents and a large majority of Democrats. I would be very surprised to see him drop out at this point. That may be wishful thinking on Clinton’s part, but I’d be shocked to see that happen any time soon.</p>

<p>It says he will not endorse anyone immediately…I guess he is stilll working his details out</p>

<p>I hope he doesn’t get <em>influenced</em> by the machine.:eek:</p>
<p>I’d much rather see him as a running mate with Obama. Although, he may not want to run as VP again.</p>
<p>J"If you listened to her speech last night she said something along the lines that she will make sure the delegates from FL get counted. I am guessing if the race remains so tight as it is now, that the DNC will add the FL count in to break the tie."</p>
<p>I look forward to the suit by “disenfranchised voters” in Florida to demand that their delegates be counted.</p>
