Something For Hillary, Edwards & Obama Supporters to Celebrate
Yes, I know there are no delegates awarded but the vote totals for Hillary, Edwards and Obama are quite impressive for an uncontested election. With 95% of precincts reporting:

Hillary has 835,848 votes
Obama has 555,292 votes
Edwards has 243,332 votes

While on the Rethug side:

McCain has 677,865 votes
Romney has 582,806 votes
Giuliani has 275,676 votes

It was a great turnout for Democrats and those vote totals are impressive, especially since no money or time was spent in Florida, unlike on the Rethug side.

3. Edwards,
is he the only democratic candidate that had NO ads or campaigning in Florida? If so, THAT's impressive!

13. I Would Have Thought Most People Know Where I Live By Now...
but YES, it HAD to be word of mouth... no ads, NOTHING! Obama signs, Clinton signs... lots of Ron Paul signs. I have 2 yard signs for Edwards in my yard and Ron Paul people come by, one even left a door hanger on my door!

I live in the "famous" county that lost all those votes, and the one that Katherine "Cruella" Harris was Representative of for TWO terms. And mostly I feel like the white seen in a watermelon!

You can add the tongue thing, it's appropriate for the most part!!
:rofl: :rofl:

Wish I REALLY felt that way! It's the Repuke PITS here!

14. Eeek! Sounds like a scary place!
:scared:
I hope you have good people around you.

That is pretty awesome news though for an Edwards supporter! Thanks!

Peace out. & keep your head (from spinnin' too much) :hi:

P.S. I can't wait for the debate!

9. It is great news
and if they could have really campaigned their the numbers would have been much higher

There is no enthusiasm, excitement or passion this election cycle in the Republican party

12. When I saw the stats I was surprised but when those Repugs in FL lost their retirement funds I know
under the watch of their party, I know they are angry and if they will not vote for democrat to get back their money, they will not vote at all. Seems like Repugs will lose on LOW VOTER TURNOUT!!!
