Hillary and Florida
We all expect Hillary to "win" florida and her supporters/detractors will spin it any which away they want but lets all acknowledge something here.

Hillary, like Rudy has led in Florida primarily on name recognition, luckily for her there was no real campaigning thus no real opportunity for Floridians to evaluate the candidates.

AS we saw with Rudy once the campaigning in Florida got hot and heavy his numbers dropped like a stone.

So as we all discuss the outcome tonight don't forget, there never was a real opportunity for Floridians to evaluate the full Democratic field.

Just saying.

p.s. I'm totally objective/ignore my avatar LOL.

1. The only ads folks in Florida have seen are Obama's "national cable" ones - plus all the
fly-ins for Fund raisers, plus all the surrogates, plus all the organized campaign by Obama workers (the agenda for Florida was posted on Obama's site each week.

Likewise for Hillary - but without the electronic ad.

The folks in Florida have a bit of information available to make a decision - or are you saying the 500,000 votes will be by foolish folks that would see the error of their vote if only they could see Obama up close and personal?

2. I am major depressed
I am disabled and walked all the way to my voting place. the same one I have voted at over 20 years and they had moved it way to far away for me to walk. Unless I can find a ride, I won't get to vote today.

3. It's called old people and retirees from New York and NJ.
Of course she should win Florida. Too bad Florida will go to the GOP in the general election.

5. The demographics play to Clinton's strengths

So this one is a no brainer. Though non-binding it will have spin value, so I don't dismiss it. A plus for Clinton tonight.
