Poll question: Does Florida Count?
Time to ask this question as the results for a Hillary victory will come soon.

5. Well, I guess we need to look hard at the Western States.
Florida was the only Southern State in play.

Maybe Virginia, stretching WV.

3. Yes it does, even if Howard Dean doesn't want it too.
I am sorry I ever supported him in 2004.

6. I think the FL delegates will be seated no matter who the nominee is,
but the FL Dem votes count for more than that. CNN keeps saying the Dem turnout is HUGH compared to prior years. THAT'S a good indicator of voters CAREING a lot about this election! The turnout in EVERY caucus or primary has been HUGH. The other thing is that the winner of Fl. will or should get a bump in momentum from a win there and going into Feb. 5th. The Fl. Gov. just confirmed that ALL the Dem candidates are on the ballot, including those who dropped out.

8. That bodes well for Hillary.
I expect Edwards to do better than he has too.

11. Including those who dropped out.
And since Hillary is the only one to campaign there, and the rest of the dems are divided between candidates who AREN'T EVEN RUNNING, who has the advantage?

Can anybody still say the republicans DON'T want Hillary to be our candidate?

7. It will "count" as far as Feb. 5th.
And it will ultimately count because the delegates will be seated.

9. The DNC has made and enforced their own rules.
It doesn't really matter what we think about this. If anyone has a problem with the DNC's decision, they should take it up with Howard Dean and stop trying to blame others for an institutional decision.

10. I'd be damn pissed off if someone said my vote didn't count!
I'm sick of all these early primaries too but the national Democratic Party
doesn't want to anger the voters in Florida to the point where they won't
support us in November.

12. Yes and No
It will help Hillary a little though as she will be able to claim a victory there. In the end it wont count toward the winner though.
