Sen. Clinton sent a powerful message to voters in Florida she cares about voter

enfranchisement. That is a powerful message to the delegates and to the voters of FL. It was a grand move on her part.


You can quibble about whether or not delegates will be seated, but she has NOT broken her pledge of not campaigning. Nor has she broken any rules in asking the DNC to re-consider their ruling of not seating delegates.

My understanding is that fundraising is allowed under the pledge agreement (I have not seen the actual pledge and do not think others have either). Obama was in Florida in November for a fund-raiser and Clinton arrived today for a fund-raiser.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday she will go to Florida to assure Democrats that ``their voices are heard'' and to underscore her commitment to seeing the state's delegation seated at the national convention. ……….

(Photos which will surely be in tomorrow's newspapers across the state.)

she just wants to scoop up the delegates in michigan who could only vote for her.

when it is in her best political interest to do so. Otherwise, she really doesn't give a shit.

is between the DNC and the florida DP.
Florida's democratic party disenfranchised the voters, no one else.

This has been asked and answered in several threads already.

It would be nice if people would stop gilding this effort as altruistic when it is anything but.

when she filed the lawsuit in Nevada

Hillary gets uglier every day she keeps pushing for this.

:crazy:

HRC cares about DELEGATES - she's proven that with her smarmy attempt to usurp the authority of the DNC. In Michigan, those Democrats who wrote in "Edwards" and "Obama" did NOT have their votes counted! - but instead, placed in an "uncommitted file." That's NOT DEMOCRATIC voting. :thumbsdown:

how could that possibly not be campaigning?

It would have been great to have had a Democratic primary in Florida. So where was she when they came up with this stupid idea? At this point, Hillary's just trolling for delegates and thinking of #1. P.S. #1 isn't you.

any other candidate.

am sure when it comes to postes related to Sen. Clinton (positive ones that is)...but still, it does amaze me.

She had no problem months ago, going along with the DNC.

At least she's coming here. Even though the votes in florida don't count and we know this, we fill good that a democrat candidate will be here. If Barack were to win on tuesday here in florida and he doesn't show up the headlines will not be pretty.

talk here on the DU about the big win yesterday by obama.....hard to discuss a win when it was won ugly and most had to paint the clintons as bigots and racist, but then again when race gets pitted against race WE ALL LOSE.....

I remember back several months I was posting the comment by Charles Barkley that said, "In this election we are going to see just who the sexist and the racist are"...Damn! did I ever believe it to be some in the democratic party....
