Now you see,Florida Voters, that's what happens when you don't sieze the responsibility of your leaders, that is what happens when you are so afraid of your leaders, that is what happens when your leadership turns its back on you. I am ashamed that you are in my country Florida voters. You allowed your leadership, your republican leadership, to discount your votes to further their own political agenda (I here tell the same thing happens in Russia quite often these days.) And now--now--when you have the chance to force "your leadership" "who broke the rules" to own up, and cough-up the money for a reasonable, fair election, and your spokes persons says--you don't want to vote? How could this be. All I can figure is that the good people of Florida have been cowed into submission by their leadership. It's sad, very sad really--to think this should happen in America. People of Florida--where are your voices--make your leadership pay out of their own pockets if needs be! I'm for Obama, but I want you people, you chicken-littles, down in Florida to have a fair election--and fire your goverment officials.

Why is it that Florida always screws up our national elections? Ideally we could have a revote, but without that option the only real solution is to split the delegates 50-50 between candidates. It would be wrong to count (even in part) the results of an election where candidates couldn't campaign and voters believed their votes (or lack thereof) would not matter.

Hillary just cut Obama's popular vote lead in half. After the Michigan redo this will be a dead heat along with Hillary's strong support in Pennsylvania.

ChenaMax — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 09:11:30 GMT

The Clinton campaign is again looking for an unorthodox sleight-of-hand to capture most of Florida's pledged delegates. The only fair split is "in proportion to the pledged delegates already won by the 2 candidates in the states that obeyed the rules". Anything else will unfairly favor the Clinton in a state where both campaigns did not campaign. And where there is no campaign, Senator Clinton is always ahead because of name recognition. Senator needs a campaign to have any chance at closing the gap. Fair is fair.

Matt Shirley, Ewa Beach, HI — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 09:14:31 GMT

Typical, typical. Sen Obama's campaign talks about reaching a fair accomodation involving all the parties, and expresses a desire to compete fairly for FL delegates. Sen Clinton's campaign has a high-falutin' reason for letting her change the rules mid-campaign and keep an advantage she gained in a contest that was not fairly competed. Please explain to me again, how exactly is this any different from the win at all costs, toxic partisanship the Republicans have been practicing since at least the beginning of the Clinton Administration? What does an "effective agent for change her whole life" actually mean in this context?

Rod De', Florida — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 11:46:00 GMT

Let us not forget Florida's vote, and let us not forget the circumstance,under which these votes were made.
If the two candidates were equal in their popularity
before the voting took place, I could understand accepting the outcome as somewhat fair. But Sen. Clinton, the first lady for 8 long years, gives her just a little bit of a edge, wouldn't you say. She won the vote in this disqualified primary by 17%
points. In all primaries and caucuses held thus far,
that Obama has actively campaigned, she has only won two by that margin. Guessed which ones? You guessed correctly, Arkansas and New York, three if you count Rhode Island. So it is very unlikely that she could win by 17% points in a contested race in Florida. So the only way to include Florida's delegates would be to work out some type of average from all their previous contest, omitting their home states. For the record, Obama has won 22 contest by more than 17% points, 19 of these by more than 20+ % points. Sen. Clinton, has yet to win, in total, 15 contest, but it's still considered a close race. WOW! If the
situation was reversed, do you think Obama would be allowed by the party to continue?

deomcrats have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory yet again. at least with kerry the attack issues were made up(swift boating,) these two have made their own choices, and after 56 years of fighting for democratic policies I am now as of two days go, an independent.

Live by the rules, lose by the rules. The Clinton camp was not concerned about Michigan and Florida, until she started her losing streak after SC and Super Tuesday. Now all of a sudden, it matters, and they want to change the rules in the middle of the contest. An equitable way that Florida's delegates could be seated, is to distribute the delegates on 52%-48% split between the candidates, since HRC won the state in January, but I am stickler for the rules. Florida disenfranchsied themselves, as did Michigan.

Both Democratic parties in Michigan and Florida knew the rules, agreed to them, as did Clinton and Obama. Despite this, Michigan and Florida went ahead anyway and changed the dates of their primaries. The DNC applied the rules and declared that neither state's delegates wold be seated. If either or both are allowed to be seated anyway, then the Democratic Party can forget any possible claim to supporting the rule of law. It would show that rules/laws don't mean anything if the outcome is not what they desired. This is a sad commentary on the level of honesty among the citizenry.

The Florida Democratic Party should have fought the Republican led Legislature and voted no to moving the primary date. That said, to punish the VOTERS of Florida for this mistake is immoral. Clinton is leading many polls today and in fact is shown to beat McCain by a wider margin than Obama yet there is little coverage in the press of this fact. So if Florida again becomes the key to tipping the numbers (this time to Obama), you will find many Democrats around the country disengaged. Just what the Republicans want.

Darrell Gonzales Boynton Beach, Florida — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 12:32:04 GMT

What none of the news reports are mentioning is the fact that the vote in Florida was primarily about the property tax referendum. The only people who came out to vote were those concerned about that issue. There was no concern on the part of any Floridians I know and spoke with about Obama or Clinton. We were concerned with lowering our property taxes. None, I repeat, none of the citizens of Florida living in rental housing came out to vote. They had no motivation to do so. They did not own property and there was no Democratic primary (our vote did not count). We (the concerned voters) had no idea Obama and Clinton would be on the ballot.

We do not feel we are being disenfranchised. We want our property taxes and our homeowner's insurance reduced. If you do not own property in South Florida then you simply do not understand.

The Clinton campaign is desperate and clutching at straws. Florida only counts in the delegate race if we have a complete statewide re-vote.

REGARDING OBAMA'S SPEECH. This is a very very smart move by Obama. Giving a speech that the entire proess will cover, a setting of Presidential stature, getting the attention, speaking well, explaining his position, encouraging unity and harmony. He is stealing the limelight away from Hillary and McCain, that's it. What a smart move. He needs to hit a home run you say. LOL, that's bull. Watch tonight. All the pundits and media will say Obama gave a wonderful speech. Some will even say he hit a home run even if he dosn't.
