The Clintons are holding a locker room celebration for winning a game that wasn't played.
Imagine if during the 1994 baseball lockout that left the season unfinished that the Yankees held a championship celebration even though no World Series had been played (they had, after all, won the most games during the aborted regular season). They would have made fools of themselves.

Can't get much lamer than this. I can't wait to hear about letting the voters voices be heard (only, of course, if those voices are for Hillary; otherwise, try to suppress them).

1. You mean those voters didn't show up and express their preference?
Seems meaningful to me.

4. It's no more important than a poll
Shows she has support in Florida (if the other candidates are playing with one hand behind their backs), that's all.

2. today was like playing a game
where not only did they not keep score, one team arrived about half-time, and the opposing team(s) did not even appear.

3. Christ. What brass. She's phones in her speech for South Carolina, and goes apeshit in Florida.

5. But, man, would it be a different story if Obama won today.

6. Actually, Russert just said that Obama won with voters that have recently just voted (I think he
said the last month, but that doesn't seem right to me). All according to the exit polls, of course.

12. Oh, so now the election means something? I thought it was meaningless?
Which is it?

Meaningful or Meaningless?

I'm hearing Obamaniacs speaking out both sides of their mouths.

13. The point was things are looking good for Obama, even in Florida where he's been
down over 20 points. Think of it as a massive poll of the mood of the electorate right now: rather than sampling 500 or so voters, Florida just recorded the preferences of hundreds of thousands of voters in a state that has been strong for Hillary. And at least according to what Russert said, Obama had more of the recent voters than Hillary did.

Congratulations, Hillary received a lot more votes in Florida. But they're not popping any corks behind closed doors at Clinton headquarters. Those numbers from the late voters have them very worried.

15. With Hillary winning over 50% of the vote in a 3 way race
Late voters aren't anything to worry about.

Talk to you Feb 5th.

7. She could thank floridians for their endorsement?
Oh, She calls it a vote of confidence. Excellent. She won a vote of confidence which certainly beats a no confidence vote.

17. Best analogy I've heard all night
Thanks for putting it in terms so simple even the oh-so-challenged Clintonistas might get it.
