Clinton Won Every County!!!

[PBS Poll-435]

But, by the powers that be, it will not count. Guess all three should have been permitted to buy ads...

1. Maybe should can run for Governor

All the NYS transplants will love that.

[PBS Poll-435]

21. I doubt a OR to AZ to TX transplant will do well against

the MACHINE

[DefenseLawyer]

2. That dog, as they say,

won't hunt.

[PBS Poll-435]

22. Why?

Cuz the "Smoke-Filled Room" says to Sen. Clinton, "um....nah"

[DefenseLawyer]

32. No because people know what's fair and what's not

It's like if you sit down to a game of poker among friends with everyone agreeing it is just for fun and then, after you win, you demand cash for your chips. Try that and your friends will laugh you out of the room.

[PBS Poll-435]

34. ?

I do not follow your analogy. Seriously. The people voted and you want them to wash the dishes?

[DefenseLawyer]

38. Okay, I'll type slower

The poker players, those would be the candidates; the democratic voters in the Florida primary, those would be the chips. The players ALL AGREED, including your player HRC, that the game wasn't for cash before they started. The chips were just chips. So after they played the game, and HRC found herself with a big pile of chips (and suddenly strapped for cash) she said "okay, pay up". You can try to spin it as disenfranchisement if you want, but you sound silly. If they wanted their votes to count they should have stayed within the Democratic Party structure. Do you really think HRC would be pushing that issue if she hadn't won Florida or more importantly, didn't need Florida?

[PBS Poll-435]

40. Good Analogy.

Unfortunately, the chips didn't realize that they were pawns in a chess game that didn't matter (or was just for fun.) Joke is on them, I guess!

[DefenseLawyer]

45. Didn't realize?

How could they not realize? Were they idiots? Or just not paying attention? Cause it was in all the papers; on teevee even.

[PBS Poll-435]

46. Nah...Cuz most people....

Live their lives. Feed their children, and go to work the next day. Do their votes not count cuz it was too early?

[theboss]

47. If they don't read the papers, how did they know to vote?

If I did not watch tv or read the paper, I would not know it was election day.

People aren't stupid. They knew it was a primary with no power.

[PBS Poll-435]

48. Thats why THOSE people who don't care and aren't stupid took time off of work,

Time away from their kids, time away from their lives; to vote for something that isn't real.

[theboss]

50. It takes ten minutes

I went at lunch today.

Anyway, I've completely lost your point. People who live in a world without a media knew enough to vote but didn't know about the controversy around the primary.

Or something.

What is your point again?

[PBS Poll-435]

54. My point was.....

All people were told that the PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY was on 1/29. Only if you were really paying attention would you realize that only the Republican's votes would count. Actually....that kinda sounds familiar...

[theboss]

55. As my father always said, "Pay attention, assface."

At least that's what he would say to Florida.

And, well, me.

[PBS Poll-435]

56. I see that

you needed the extra attention.

[PBS Poll-435]

49. And again....

If most people followed politics like most people followed the Super Bowl, Jessica Simpson, or American Idol, then I could agree with your elitist shit.

[TexasObserver]

57. This post should be kicked and recommended. Talk about Hillary not having Clean Hands.

I've got her extraordinary relief, right here.

[babylonsister]

3. Living in the past, are you? nt

[PBS Poll-435]

4. Nah...

The Future.

[KittyWampus]

6. Reminder, please don't feed them.

[babylonsister]

16. Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. nt

[PBS Poll-435]

27. I get it.

Hearts are the "Clinton Intolerance Meter." Thanks Skinner, my choice sticks (and actually solidified.)

[alcibiades_mystery]

5. Here ya go

Cry it out, baby boy.

[samrock]

7. Does not count

Since clinton WON!!! Have to throw out over 1 million votes.. I hope THAT IF McCain wins and the difference is FLA that we find out he won cause demos who were tired of there votes NOT counting ended up staying at home..

[mmonk]

9. And who's fault will that be?

[samrock]

12. Uh

Not the VOTERS!!!! But THEY are the ones being punished... BUT that does not matter long is it works out for your guy!!

[mmonk]

26. Yes, but the voters should blame their state party.

Sorry for your situation since voting is the foundation of democracy.

[samrock]

36. BS!!!

I soooo wish Obama had won of these stated JUST to hear ther differences.. HOW are VOTERS to blame!?!?! Cause they went out and voted?!?! Ohhhh thats a GREAT lesson to teach our kids... As you sow so shall you reap!

[mmonk]

59. You need to brush up on your reading skills.

I wasn't blaming the voters.

[PBS Poll-435]

11. Totally

The FL media and papers told people where to vote and the people did. They voted for change and they didn't even get a receipt.

[lancer78]

43. Actually

I thought people really voted in FL concerning the property tax issue.

[PBS Poll-435]

53. Property Taxes?

What can't he do?

[JackORoses]

8. ah, a P2B sockpuppet? Tombstone it before it grows.

[Redstone]

13. P2B is gone? Finally? Thanks for mentioning that; it made my night. I was wondering why

he / she / it was so absent from the GDP forum tonight.

Redstone

[PBS Poll-435]

14. ?

Paint to Black?
Place to Be?

I really don't know what you are talking about.

I joined DU in November 2004 when I realized that something was very, very, wrong with the election. I was for Senator Kerry since the Spring of 2004(My Dad liked him 2 years before that.)

[JackORoses]

19. ok, at least you display a profile

your name is just eerily reminiscent of a recently departed troll.

it was a Clinton supporter, too.

[PBS Poll-435]

20. Well you know....

We are all the same. ?

[Renew Deal]

23. Irrational: Check, Bullshit: Check, Defies logic: Check

Hmmmm....

[L0oniX]

10. Please quit drinking the kool aid. n/t

[PBS Poll-435]

17. Kool-Aid? Try VODKA

Let's negate the results of a primary. Lets ignore a vote of the people because one or another was not allowed to run TV ads...

[LittleClarkie]

15. What did buying ads have to do with it counting or not?

Non sequitor.

[Renew Deal]

18. Welcome Back!

:hi:

[Danger Mouse]

37. has lee greenwood come back for more?

[PBS Poll-435]

52. Although....

I am sure that Lee would, and does, love the flavor of the month, I would prefer someone who has something to offer rather than "change." We all know how "anyone but bu$h" worked the last time around.

[PBS Poll-435]

42. Thanks!

I have been here all along. The Top 10 CIs and JeffR's DuZy's are the reasons that I am here every week.

[RunningFromCongress]

24. Are you joking? She did not win every county. Why are you lying?

Alachua - Obama

Baker - Edwards

Duval - Obama

Escambia - Obama

Gadsden - Obama

Gulf - Edwards

Hamilton - Obama

Holmes - Edwards

Jackson - Edwards

Jefferson - Obama

Lafayette - Edwards

Leon - Obama

Liberty - Edwards

Madison - Obama

Suwanne - Edwards

Taylor - Edwards

Union - Edwards

Washington - Edwards

[Thrill]

25. Its easy to win if the other candidates

can't even step foot in the state.

[PBS Poll-435]

29. I posted a link to the final results....

[RunningFromCongress]

30. Where do you think I got those counties? FROM THAT LINK. Read your own links next time.

[PBS Poll-435]

39. I wasn't lying

I looked at an Excel table, and I missed the fact that the winner of the state CHANGED the table. I apologize, seriously.

[XemaSab]

28. The New York Times begs to differ....

http://politics.nytimes.com/election-guide/2008/results/demmap/index.html

[usregimechange]

31. She did not win every county, see below:

http://politics.nytimes.com/election-guide/2008/results/states/FL.html

[usregimechange]

58. btw, the map shows that Obama won 8 counties including jacksonville and the capital and Edwards won

11 counties...

[thevoiceofreason]

33. Check out the popular vote totals tomorrow

Obama wins Va. by 278K (so far), HRC wins Florida by 288K. Since she has been adding in the Florida differential into her "I am still ahead in the popular vote," she needs a new schtick.

[Danger Mouse]

35. oh god.

:eyes:
get a life.

[Exultant Democracy]

41. won?

[PBS Poll-435]

44. I found out the hard way of analyzing data...

That sometimes you can make a mistake. Hillary Clinton won the Democratic Party (of Florida) Primary in Florida. And <nearly> won every county. But those votes don't count. Florida at least has earned it reputation!

[DUyellow]

51. Good luck with that, LOL
