"Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., swept virtually every significant voting group to easily win the Florida Democratic primary.

Clinton handily beat Obama by 26 points among women, the bedrock of Clinton's support, and edged him by 7 points among men. Turnout among women increased to 59 percent from 55 percent in 2004. Clinton won big among liberals and moderates, beating Obama and Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., handily among independents, a group that Obama had won in every other Democratic contest in which he competed this year. Clinton, again, won among seniors, a continually reliable group for her by a gaping 59 to 23 percent.

Clinton beat Obama among independent voters, a group key to his early success, winning 42-28 percent. Obama has consistently appealed to high end voters -- those with higher incomes and higher education -- but, again, Clinton beats Obama across the board. Among those with income of $100,000 or more Clinton wins by 19 points. Among college graduates she wins by a more modest 7 points.

Among Democratic voters, 55 percent said the economy was the most important issue facing the country, followed by a quarter who cited the war in Iraq and 18 percent who said health care. Clinton wins across each group, with sizable advantages among "economy" voters (20-point edge over Obama, 50-30 percent) and health care voters (21 points over Obama, 52-31 percent)."


The numbers don't lie. Hillary crushed Obama among independents, the most important group in Florida, which is the most important state in November. This indicates Hillary will win the nomination, and will win Florida.

15. Exactly.
Even the best of polls only include about 800 people who may or may not tell the truth. Florida was a million people casting a vote. Calling this meaningless is ridiculous.

12. Don't preach at me, Jacksonville.


The Clintons are dripping blood from their mouths after last nights "circus maximus" from the OVER-stuffed, anxiety ridden, ball room in Davie.


SHE won how many elections in the self-important FLA. ????

14. This is like celebrating weight loss after a leg amputation.
It's not genuine.
