4. Congratulations to him, even though he got no delegates.
We wouldnt be jerking ourselves into a mouth foaming stupor like some of these Hillarzombies are.

8. I doubt if Obama would have acted like he just won 'Who wants to be a Millionaire'
Knowing Obama's style he would have been pretty low key about this kind of a win and not attempted to give people the impression that it held so much meaning. When candidates don't actively campaign in a state then it's not fair game to boast about it. Candidates didn't get the opportunity to inspire people to come out and vote for them.

10. Who knows? Since he DIDN'T win the Florida Beauty Contest, all we have...
...is Hillary's shining example.

And about how he's utterly unstoppable, blah, blah, blah.

17. Obama did quite well...33% last I heard...and that in a Clinton state.
It is something to be proud about.

It is the way Hillary did it. In one breath telling Florida their votes would count, in the next saying they would not.

19.  They would mirror Obama and his lack of grace.
For a guy who claims to be a "uniter", his supporters here on DU should be an embarassment to him.

20. Can we please not suggest all Obama supporters suck
There are good supporters and bad supporters in every camp and that is just a fact.

24. We've been following MadFloridian for months
and know full well what was going on in Florida and that it was a ploy to go after Dean. We've also said that the delegates will be seated AFTER there is a clear winner and would be saying the exact same thing no matter who won.
