The Kennedy endorsement? Should be huge.

Now its a 1 day story.

Obama's huge victory in SC? A landslide and the 1st clear victory of the primary season?

Forgotten as we prep for Sooper Dooper Tuesday!

Now the story is Hillary's win (though symbolic) going into Sooper-Dooper Tuesday where she is leading in quite a few state polls (including the biggest prizes).

3. Well, that's the spin the Clinton campaign is hoping people will give it...
...but so many people voted early in Florida that SC and the Kennedy endorsement didn't come into play ~ yet.

5. I'm not saying the voting in FL was affected by those events.
I am saying the FL results supercede those events in the news.

12. Depends on how they spin it...
As a true win ~ or something that doesn't count. We'll have to wait and see...

11. Agreed
Though they showed part of Hillary's victory speech, MSNBC went straight back to the GOP contest.

13. Speaking realistically, when Senators Obama and Kennedy campaign in the southwest
and California, its going to be more than a one-day story. I'm
not an Obama partisan but you Clinton guys are deluded if you
believe enthusiastic support from Ted, and especially Caroline
Kennedy is a one day story.

This isn't going to be a cakewalk for anyone.

16. The reason the Clintons are bragging about Florida: Because they haven't won a contested primary yet
Hillary is winless on delegates
Lost:
IA
NV
SC

Tied:

25. Yes Obama has an "insurmoutable" lead of 15 delegates with 3000 yet to be decided!
I must have missed all those Obama supporters touting Hillary's 2nd place finish in Iowa since delegates are all that matter.

20. PR counts in politics
And it's good that disenfranchised Florida voters have a something of a feeling of participation.

23. pissed?
who is pissed?

I think hillary is making a fool of herself. She should be out holding on to her quickly fading lead where it counts. The more time Hillary wastes in florida the better. Sooner or later she will have to face the press about Ted and The story will come back full force then. She cant duck em forever.

24. They'll be talking about the Kennedys for days.
The only reason they'll bring up FL is to mention Hillary's lame attempt to make it count for her.

Potemkin Village, anyone?

26. Of course it does. And Obama did it to himself when
he started campaigning in Florida first. Obamabots only have ORezko to blame. He scammed them again.

29. Florida is a great media victory at the very least for Clinton, Obama has lost Super Tuesday
I don't think Obama can make the ground on Super Tuesday to beat Clinton anymore and this victory gives her the momentum needed while knocking the wind out of the Obama campaign's SC win/Kennedy nomination which will be largely forgotten

30. Yes, and they shouldn't complain because Obama has been MILKING the publicity
from the Kennedy endorsement since it happened. His speech has been replayed over and over again in the last day or so. Hours of free press - for an endorsement.

If she wants to give one speech after winning that many votes they have no reason to complain.

33. Yeah right. Not even the MSM are buying Hillary's "victory" as anything to be respected.
They're laughing at her, and her silly "victory" party.
