Hillary Wins Florida!
Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama > Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton easily took home Florida on Tuesday night, beating Democratic rival Barack Obama by a convincing margin in the state's presidential primary. Unfortunately for her, she didn't win any delegates.
On the other side, John McCain and Mitt Romney were neck and neck with McCain barely taking the win, but he came out on top in the Republican primary.
Poor Rudy Giuliani lagged behind both frontrunners, after foolishly laying all his eggs in one basket and ignoring all the earlier states that held their primaries to focus on Florida. He will likely drop out of the race tomorrow.

The Democratic race doesn't matter, or count. Florida lost its delegates to the Democratic convention for violating DNC rules about when it could hold its primary. All the candidates agreed not to campaign in Florida as a result, but now Hillary is trying to get the delegates reinstated because she's winning. Imagine if she succeeds and those delegates are enough to push her over the top. Florida would again steal the election. And I suspect all hell would break loose.
that's because Hillary was the only Democrat on the ballot in Florida. Because of some issue with moving up their primary no dellagates are being awarded so it doesn't really count.
Even though it doesnt count, IT PROVES THAT HILLARY WILL WIN CALI
fl = cali …same demographics.
sorry for the correction, but it's Madame President.
GO OBAMA! wat happens to all the money rudi raised if he drops out now? if he gets to keep it maybe that was his plan all along
a shame. it means absolutely NOTHING! ! ! THE DNC said fuck Florida!
i wish john mccain had won lol =)
xox
go hillary!
Perez,
Florida violated the National Democratic Party by moving their primary up, so they don't get any delegates. Also, all the candidates agreed to withdraw from any campaigning in the state. Hillary changed her mind after losing SC. So, she's a big loser/hypocrite, and earns no delegates with this "win".
you mean madam president…right prezzi? Go Hillary!!
Not much of win. Billary agreed not to campaign in Florida then pulled a last minute fast-one on Obama, Edwards and the other candidates. Went against her "word" and is now down there claiming "decisive victory".
What a double-dealing, backstabbing bitch.
Perez would do well to remember Billary authored "Don't Ask Don't Tell", so far responsible for 8,000 gays being thrown out of the military since '93.
Good luck.
GO HILARY!!! NY and NJ are in the bag as well! President Hillary Clinton!
Even though Hillary won she won't get any delegates so who even cares….barak will win them all on super tuesday

Perez, I love you but get your facts right. The democratic winner of Florida receives no delegate votes and no one campaigned there anyway…hence the landslide victory. Atleast portray the facts correctly.
Way to GO Hillary!!!
We need need you NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think she's going to win. As much as I wish she wouldn't … I think she will.
YAY! GO HILLARY!
I can't believe that ANYONE thinks that she would do a good job. She doesn't care about this country, she only cares about her status among the other rich people (I'd say friends, but she doesn't have any).
You should also note that FLORIDA HAS NO DEMOCRATIC DELEGATES AND THEREFORE DOES NOT AFFECT THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE BECAUSE NO ONE CAMPAIGNED THERE.
I
first?
ps. perez…you break my heart supporting that whore.
BARACK THE VOTE.
The DNC is not awarding delegates in Florida so Hillary and Barak were campaigning there….get your story right.
She didn't win anything, Florida has no Democratic Delegates this year…DUMB ASS
BARACK 2008!!! HANG IN THERE BARACK SUPPORTERS- WE WILL WIN!!!!!! JUST WAIT UNTIL TUESDAY!!!!!!! BARACK 2008!!!! BARACK 2008!!!! BARACK 2008!!!! BARACK 2008!!!! BARACK 2008!!!! BARACK 2008!!!! BARACK 2008!!!!
Great! We need a great leader and with Hillary we will get two.
Also, it's ridiculous that we haven't had a female President when Europe and S. America have and do. As long as it's not Huckleberry or Roamy I'll be happy.
It isn't Mrs. President, Perez. Its Madam President .. madam is more formal
Seriously, are you being paid by the Clinton camp to try and mobilize the young and stupid vote? Of course Hillary won Florida - because ALL of the Democratic candidates, including Hillary promised not to campaign there because of the early primary - the DNC stripped them of all their delegates - so she didn't win anything. Although, she is now trying to go back on her signed statement to the contrary - typical Clinton hypocrisy. Glad that you're on board with her brand of politics - unsurprising considering the smut you peddle.

FIRTZ BITTZEZ
um yeah she won 0 delgates
Just an FYI- Edwards & Obama were not on the ballot. See they play by the rule…Clinton plays by her own set of rules.
Not sure how you can say she already won (although she probably will) since there are still more than 4000 precincts that need to report. With approximately 2300 of those in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.
Perez are you high? Billary won nothing.. no delegates were at stake on the Dem side. Please get off her bandwagon.
hey shit for brains…. the state of florida was punished by the democrats for moving their primary. no delegates from florida will be coming to the convention…. or michigan. none of the candidates were allowed to campaign there. they all signed an agreement. florida was a no deal for democrats.
Hey Perez - why don't you get off Hillary's dick and be fair to Obama. At least he kept his pledge not to campaign in Florida unlike Hillary. There are no delegates awarded from Florida so this "victory" doesn't mean shit. Stick to gossip and leave the politics to intelligent folks. You probably are not even a registered voter?
you should be ASHAMED of the way you are reporting this info. all three frontrunners "agreed" to not campaign in florida after it pushed its vote up. obama and edwards kept their words…hillary didn't. basically hillary won a contest where she was the ONLY person running–and she did not get any delegates.
if anything, this victory represents what is WRONG with hillary clinton.
SHAME ON YOU PEREZ for your LOPSIDED REPORTING.
Perez.
You need to STOP talking about politics.
First of all, Florida has NO delegates going to the convention! stop trying to make it a big deal! Please please please stop talking politics. I love your celebrity blogging, but you know NOTHING when it comes to politics.
Also, only 35% of precincts are reporting from Florida as of yet, so to say that John McCain won is a LIE.
Even CNN, which loves to project winners, hasn't called a winner yet.
Please, a lot of foolish readers will listen to your opinion on politics, so please stop talking because you are doing your readers a complete disservice by misleading them.
I see you changed it now..Glad you are getting you facts straight..
GO MITT and CLINTON! I want these two to face off
you dumb cunt - this primary means nothing for the democrats!! leave it to a fag to get his facts not straight!
I liked Edwards, but since he doesn't have a chance, i am DEFINATELY voting Hillary.
I'm sorry, i don't hate Obama, but he would make a good VP at best.
daamn i cant stand this fake bitch

ummmm…. it doesn't matter if hillary won. florida got stripped of its delegates. woo hoo…
just to mention that there will be no delegates for the democratic party from this primary. so it doesnt matter that much.
hey dumbass their delegates dont count because they moved their primary date up. no one else wasted their time campaigning there.
Re: Loganb – Yes they both were. I voted today.
Go Canada!!!
you realize this victory means nothing right? Florida = no delegates
firsttttttttt
Dear Perez. We see who you want to become president by your bias reporting of the news. Hillary won nothing as NO DEMOCRATIC candidate was allowed to campaign in Florida because the Florida Democratic State Party violated party rules by having their primary before February 5. So Hillary's so-called win is neither "convincing" nor significant. Thanks
big deal she doesn't gain any delegates from Florida….
STOP talking politics.
First?!
GO HILARY!!!
Re: Loganb – they were on the ballot dumbass. Go to cnn. OBAMA LOST BIG TIME. HE WILL LOSE CALI
C'mon, Mario. Don't be hatin' on Obama. If you're going to report that Hillary took FL, you should say that she got no delegates from the state, and that no other Democrats campaigned there because they all agreed not to, since FL broke DNC rules. She went back on her word because she's hoping people will report like you, incorrectly, that she won the state! Be fair!
not all the precincts are reporting! & it's not a winner take all for the democratic delegates so Obama still gets some!
remember to vote Feb 5th!!
Perez you should educate yourself. The democratic primary in Florida does not count and Cliton should not even be happy she won because the candidates should not be campaigning. Hilary is a horrible lying politician who is power hungary and does not deserve to win! Vote for Romney!!!!
You neglected to mention that
1) Florida doesn't count for anything in the Democratic primaries
2) Hillary Clinton is still behind Obama in the delegate count
3) Neither Edwards nor Obama campaigned in Florida, as per Democratic instructions
4) Clinton was the only candidate to make a visit to Florida, terming her public dinner a "fundraiser" rather than a campaign stop (which is complete bullshit)
It's irresponsible to only report part of the facts when it comes to something that actually matters. Try learning about the issues and situations rather than just the headline on cnn.com.
She will have to take what she can get- uncontested. Desperate bitch.
Perez, Obama and Edwards didn't even campaign in Florida as the DNC stripped Florida of their delegates as punishment for them holding their primary early. Clinton's win was by no means convincing. I know you're a fan of Hillary, but at least be fair with your posts. Stick to celeb trash… it suits you better.
Who can trust Florida votes?
After 2004 I am and will always be a little wary.
First
GO HILLARY!!! I FIND IT OUTRAGEOUS THAT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA HAS CALLED FLORIDA A TIE BECAUSE CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO DELEGATES AT STAKE. HE ALSO CALLED IT A BEAUTY CONTEST FOR THE SAME REASON. I'M SURE THE PEOPLE OF FLORIDA DONT APPRECIATE THAT OBAMA THINKS THEIR VOTES MEAN NOTHING!!! SHAME ON OBAMA
i love perez!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Houston.
GO HILLARY!
um she was the only one on the ballot, kind of hard to lose!
shithead liberals.
YaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaY!!!!!!! Love u Hillary
First
Clinton doesn't get any delegates to use for the Democratic nomination! No Dems campaigned in Florida because of this! Clinton 'winning' Florida gives her absolutely nothing! Perez, you need to stick to Britney news. Is Castro still dead?
Re: Cameron – Does not affect the PRIMARY. But we WILL affect the general election.
Re: get it right – NO SHE WASNT IDIOT.
She didn't campaign in the state, idiot.
What the fuck is up with you Perez? You used to be an Obama supporter. Now you are all on Hillary's nuts. Besides, none of the democratic candidates campaigned in Florida because the delegates were stripped. So this win doesn't mean shit. She is still a fake ass bitch who would love run this country into the fucking ground.
Uhm … Senator Obama and Hillbill aren't competing in Florida today. Bet 'cha the former prez put this trash forth here since he's been told to shut the f*ck up everywhere else.
shit..
Team hillary!!!
Since she wins no delegates, she won nothing. This was not a real primary (read any article about the election on line or in a newspaper) for the Democrats.
You really should stick to showbiz PH.
Yay go Hillary!
ummm i'm pretty sure that the democratic delegates from florida (and michigan) will not count for the caucus…might wanna mention that
Great
All we need is yet another Washington insider like Clinton. Between her and Osama the picketings are thin.
L
don't talk politics if you dont know politics. The florida delegates don't count for the democrats, just like michigan. The democratic candidates did not focus on the state. they all did not campaign there. She is just trying to get press off the win because obama is going to defeat her in the states that count. don't twist the facts. you are lying by omission.
GO OBAMA!!! and/or edwards!
oh please. she's the most well known name so considering that none of the democratic candidates campaigned there, of course she's going to win. florida is also mostly old people who vote for hillary.
don't get me wrong perez, hillary as president won't make me kill myself, but you really need to go back and look at obama again. if hillary wins, then my entire life under the age of 30 will have seen a bush or clinton in the white house. that is NOT the change she is boasting she will bring. it is not new government it is the old government that many would like to see reformed.
sweet. i don't really understand why no one seems to like her.
FLORIDA HAS NO DEMOCRATIC DELEGATES! Please update this on your post
