The Florida Numbers....
....850,170 for one candidate, 563,147 for another, 246,097 for a third and 9,459 for one who dropped out of the race. That's 1,668,873 heroes who didn't give a rat's ass whether or not delegates were going to be seated. That is the real story of the Florida Democratic primary.

The Goal: Remove Republicans....

1. The Goal: Remove Republicans....
Amen. That should be our objective. We don't need to pout like Freepers threatening to sit out the election if their faction doesn't win. We should all be on the same page - health care, an end to imperialistic foreign policy, restoration of economic viability, a return to respect for common Americans and diversity. And, most importantly, kicking Bush, his supporters, and every vestige of his administration straight to the curb. Oh, how I hope there'll be investigations.

Some are seething that Hillary pulled some sort of stunt here, but Hillary did the right thing. These states deserve to be seated. As Democrats, how can we possibly endorse disenfranchising Florida voters after what happened in 2000? If Obama had won Florida, would these same people be seething that he cheated? No, of course not. It's very transparent.

The real story here is that Florida voted anyway. Michigan voted anyway. They're sending a clear message - those votes matters even if the DNC and certain campaigns say they don't. That's the real victory tonight.
