Will Hillary try to give a victory speech in FL.

[mckeown1128]

Will the media spin FL as a victory or will they call BS on the Clintons attempt to make FL something that it isn't?

I honestly want to know what everyone thinks.

Since I don't know how to post pictures... I request that everyone click the link before responding.

1. I think whatever happens in FL will be and should be ignored.

No one has campaigned there. The delegates don't count. It is a beauty contest and nothing more.

8. Even if Florida is a beauty contest and nothing else

Likely a million votes will be cast in Florida, which outstrips the total votes cast in all of the other contested primaries and caucuses that have been held so far. Likely more Florida votes will be cast than Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina combined.

You are right, with the sole exception of Obama sending his campaign ads into over 6.5 million Florida households, none of the candidates have campaigned inside Florida, and they all are listed on the ballot. That makes it an almost level playing field.

The Florida results will be 5000 times more meaningful than any of the dozens of "opinion polls" that we here and the media nation wide like to pour over looking for tea leaves. These will be real votes being tallied. Go ahead and hope that the Democrats might still win Florida in Novemeber; but if an attitude like yours takes hold inside our Party - and if Obama plays into it - that the secret ballot presidential preference of a million Floridians is meaningless, you can kiss Florida goodbye.

11. Florida is a State and her win deserves Recognition

12. I didn't realize 1 million would vote tomorrow.

That does make it more significant.

13. One million would indicate en extremely low turnout with perhaps Eleven million registered.

They are predicting a record turnout for primary voting in Florida.

Almost one million have already voted with the early voting process. Additionally, absentee ballots are out in record proportions.

14. It's a mess that we're in. No voters should be dis-enfranchised.

Too bad they couldn't have worked it out before the Primaries started. Now, the process is tainted, regardless of the outcome.

2. YES!!

SHE WILL GIVE A VICTORY SPEECH. Count on that. The media will report it, but they will go into the debate of whether the delegates should be seated. Of course they'll make a much bigger deal of the repub primary.

4. From A Strategic Point Of View

She is not as concerned about whether the delegates will be seated at this time as much as she is concerned that the media give some credence to a win in one of the largest and most diverse state in the Union and a state that always plays a key role in American politics...

I would expect any candidate to do that...

3. I hope so

We have some fence-mending to do with Florida before the GE.

5. Sure. Didn't she give one after the MI primary?

Claiming victory when she was the only candidate on the ballot (from the top tier).

Chutzpah? (sp?)

[sniffa]

6. I don't know.

Did she give one in Michigan? :shrug:

[elixir]

7. Of course the MSM will spin FL as a win ... and they should, the voters cast their votes and it's a.

measurement of voter intent. Who know what will happen to those delegates before the convention, I suspect they will be seated.

I think the candidates did the right thing - didn't campaign, but, respect the voters by acknowledging their votes - whether the delegates are counted are not.

And if those delegates are seated, then Clinton and Obama would look pretty short sighted and selfish for not acknowledging the voters will.

9. Meanwhile the Republican candidates are all over the Sunshine State

telling us how very important all Floridians are to each and every one of them and to the country.

Floridians are being schmoozed by the RNC, and they are loving it.

10. If she doesn't Clinton would get blasted by you for being "rude". n/t
