Barack Obama is getting hundreds of thousands of votes..
..in a state where the man didn't even set foot in to campaign.

I mean, this is a man who was not even known 4 years ago in Florida, yet half a million Floridians are choosing him over "35" years of experience and 16 years of worldwide identity.

To borrow Hillary's line, give me a break.

9. "Do anything to get elected" Billary.... there you go again!
There you go again...

And sorry Billary - you are no Jack Kennedy.

I WOULD LOVE a woman president - but i don't want a manwoman sandwich called "Billary"

Obama folks - no need to fan the flames here - this one was almost funny. Let it pass. Billary trying (rather desperately) to trumpet tonight in Florida? Not even worthy of a response actually.

Billary - we remember your vote suppor Bush on Iraq. You wanted to "look more hawkish and tough" - for the "general election" knowing of course that Bill would win the primaries for you - because he can weep on queue and play the race-baiting card with Whites while pandering to Blacks. Billary we know you went to New York just to carpet bag - so you could talk about your wonderful experience in the Senate - boy did you jump to get on that armed services committee - gosh you do "look hawkish" - nobody can call you a weak woman in a general election. How clever you are Billary!! Oh yeah, and I forgot you were first lady too right? Wow! Gosh how stellar Billary.

Billary - we remeber your lack of conviction. We remember. We remember how you supported Bush's Bankruptcy Law -- "Leave No Credit Card Company Behind."

We Remember Billary.

What is it like lunching for $1,000 a plate with the Drug Companies? Introducing them to your friends in the Senate who make the rules?

We Remember Billary.

What is it like being supported by more lobbyists than any other candidate Democrat or Republican?

Billary - we remember - and we won't make it easy for you to lie your way into office.

Viva Obama On to Feb 5th!!

Enjoy your Florida night Billary... it may be your last celebration.

10. I am in Florida - I voted for Obama but a lot of people didn't vote - told it wound not count!
And now Billary is saying "Yes it will!" I will NEVER vote for her NEVER!!!!!!!! What a trickster - What did they used to call Bill? Slick Willy???? Now is Hillary going to be known as Shill Hill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:argh:

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Shilling is illegal in many circumstances and in many jurisdictions because of the frequently fraudulent and damaging character of their actions.

16. He ran TV Ads
That reached the undecided.

She came to a fundraiser of people wanting to donate to her.. most likely all ready going to vote for her.

So, who 'reached' and 'campaigned' to undecided voters??? I would have to say the TV ads.


Have you ever went to a major, and I do mean major, fundraiser for someone that you was 'undecided' about?

17. Clinton campaigned in Florida
She had a very active field operation. It was paid for and run by AFSCME, the teacher's unions, and her elected surrogates, using their campaign funds. These groups sent out direct mail, made live calls, and sent out autocalls on her behalf.

Yeah, technically the Clinton campaign didn't campaign in Florida, but don't be naive. She had a very active presence, in violation of the spirit of the DNC pledge. Anyone who attempts to compare Obama's modest national television buy on low-rated national cable networks is just being too clever by half.
