Clinton wins Florida Primary with large margin!

Ok, so Senator Clinton won today's Florida Democratic Primary with over 50% of the vote, nearly 900,000 votes in the state. The fact that the DNC stripped Florida of its delegates didn't stop the people from voting, and their voices were heard. Senator Obama may want to say that Florida's votes don't matter, but not Senator Clinton!

Over 1,600,000 people voted in today's Democratic Primary! This was almost as much as voted in today's Republican Primary. This is very telling for the general election. Think about it. Florida Democratic voters knew that their votes wouldn't "count" in that the state would not add to any of the Democratic candidates delegate totals needed to secure the nomination. There was no campaigning allowed by any of the Democratic candidates, or television ads. With all of that, 3 Democratic nominees managed to pull in NEARLY AS MANY votes today as all of the Republicans total (who's primary did "count"). This is a good position to be in for the general election.

Of course Senator Clinton has expressed her frustration with the DNC for not seating Florida delegates at the convention, and is encouraging that to happen for Florida and Michigan, so their votes can "count." Florida voters, have been disenfranchised for too long. If it's not the Republicans in 2000, now it's the DNC. Let's stop this ridiculous disenfranchisement of Florida voters, and give the voters some meaning to their vote. Florida is and always will be a crucial "battleground" state in the general election in November.

We're proud that Hillary won Florida tonight by an overwhelming majority, which means she's the best candidate to win Florida in November!
