Comments on: Clinton, Obama Camps Spar Over Importance Of Florida Vote

[georgiagrl1]

"If a person cannot abide by her party''''s decisions, how do you expect that person to obey the laws of the land? On several occasions, clinton has disobeyed the Democratic Party and yet no one is critisizing her for that. She campaigned in michigan, filed a law suit in Nevada and is currently campaigning in Florida, all against the party''''s decision. The most worrying thing about this, was that she was a part of the process culminating in the party taking those decisions. To most Americans, that is a clear example of irresponsibilty! You don''''t choose to obey decisions you were a party to, only when it favours you."

The decisions of the Democratic Party are NOT the law of the land. One has nothing to do with the other. Sen. Clinton has broken no laws. I personally do not care that Florida and Michigan moved up their primaries. What I care about is the resulting loss of delegates. The real issue here is that the residents of those two states are the big losers.

I find it very telling how the media is hyper reporting how Hillary stopped in Florida for a fund raiser, yet is under reporting that the Obama campaign ran national ads on cable TV (MSNBC and I think on CNN) that appeared in Florida for a week before our primary, breaking the No Campaign pledge. I live in Florida and saw the Obama ads as much as I saw McCain, Rudy, Mitt, and Huckabee ads. Don''t tell me that Obama didn''t campaign here, because he did via TV ads. It was a sneaky way around the pledge and the Obama camp knows it and the media is suppressing it. I''m sure Obama wants our votes and would be singing a different tune about the importance of Florida''s vote should he do well here. However, I''m glad Hillary is standing up for Florida. Too bad Obama doesn''t have the backbone to stand up for Floridians as well.

All this Clinton Obama ***. I realize you are either Rep. or Dem., so of course you want to stand behind those running. But I can not understand why people(Americans, at that) would want to back a man or anyone else that would turn back on flag, not raise hand for pledge(and has stated he does not believe in it). Then they sit and b**ch about Hillary. So yes,lets continue to do the American thing. Back people that are all about themselves and try to act innocent when they are the one starting the racist sh*t. So yes, lets better America and put him in there! Wonder why many people think we should revolt against government! come on people, grow some balls!

RowdyTexan2,shame on you! You''re the type that will hate someone and yet smile at his presence only to poison him once his back is turned. Obama was being very honest. There was no need for him to pretend that all was well between him and clinton after being subjected to a barrage of destructive personal attacks! They have all gone beyond pretense. As for you, calling obama names won''t help you. What will help you is to relieve yourself of the anger and hatred that is eating deep inside of you. America do not need people like you: pretentious, holier than thou characters.

The democratic party is not going to be able to ignore probably 1.5 million democratic votes in Florida. there are more voters there than in every state before this combined. these delegates will also be seated at convention, guarenteed. They will count.

"paint98", actually you are wrong. The Republicans also punished Florida by taking away 1/2 of their delegates. So whatever you say about Democrats here applies to the Republicans as well. The Clintons however are being very manipulative on this and I hope it works against their favor, just as their other dirty tricks have.

If you had had lies told about you and low blows and the person behind this still doesn''t seem to be showing any sense of decency and fairplay you might not want to pretend to like them either.

[jaykay221]

Yes - Hillary didn''t campaign there - only showed up for a couple of fund raisers and photo ops and talked loudly about the important of Florida and the people of Florida in the media. Hillary 101: how to campaign without campaigning.

Just add this to the long list of things she has done since this primary started that makes me have no respect for her. Now Obama, there''s a man who knows how to stick to his word - funnily enough I would value that in a leader.

[johnnyraygun-2009]

Hillary and the other candidates took a written pledge not to campaign in Florida or Michigan. In Michigan all but Hillary took their names off the ballot, in Florida that wasn''t possible. Barack and Edwards are honoring their pledge. No disrespect to Florida, simply honoring their pledge. This is a sign how manipulative Hillary is. It shows what honor to her word means.
