Hillary Wins Florida!

2008_01_29t163054_450x335_us_usa_politics_obama.jpg

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.

      Doesn't matter for the Democrats though. So who cares. Obama will still (hopefully) get the nomination.

      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.

    12. lrae says – reply to this


      12

      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.

      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".

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

    49. Mr. X says – reply to this


      49

      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?

    50. sanjay says – reply to this


      50

      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.

    51. Stop talking politics... says – reply to this


      51

      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.

      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

      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!

    70. Jennie says – reply to this

      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!!!!

    72. Someone who ACTUALLY knows their politics says – reply to this


      72

      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.

      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.

      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!

    98. emily says – reply to this


      98

      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.
