I'll be charitable and assume we're just talking past one another. I don't think Obama will be "in trouble" because of a loss in Florida. I think a loss in Florida will continue to underscore the trouble he's already in. Thus, I think it matters. It will matter more if he happens to win. But it still matters either way.

All politicians - in their own way - are amusing because they all try so hard to pander without appearing to pander. The ones who cover it up the best are those who get elected.

Below is a sample article making the point that Florida still matters, and interestingly enough, makes this observation: Quote:
Kinda matches you, doesn't it. Although I think Clinton would be easier to beat, I don't really have a dog in this fight. I'm not blinded by an Obagasm. As for the delegate count, I think you're falling into the pit that puts too much importance on such things. I'd love to say Romney is clear frontrunner based on the delegate count, but I think it's misleading. All it takes is one day (Feb 5) to turn that relative small margin on it's head. You're probably one of those who thinks Obama "really" won in Nevada, even though he lost the popular vote.

Good thing you were here to correct me on such nonsense. And it's "Obamagasm." "Obagasm" still doesn't make any sense. |

AJC.com is the site for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the primary newspaper for the largest city of Florida's northern neighbor, which you would know if you'd bothered to click the link. You have heard of Atlanta out there in California, haven't you?

And my quote about Omaha was designed to make what I thought to be a fairly obvious point: you can find any position on any topic on the internet. So what? Excuse me for disagreeing with the primary newspaper of the largest city of Florida's northern neighbor on the impact of the Democratic primary in Florida. Maybe I should look to the Birmingham News for some support. That is, after all, the largest newspaper in the largest city in Florida's Northwestern neighbor. Would you be persuaded THEN? |

And then there's this from a local Florida newspaper: Quote:
Cue: Cali Coug attack on the credibility of Fox News and the Baker County Press newspaper. "Who the hell are THEY? Blah, blah, blah."

WOW- that is some great research you have done there. It will be newsworthy if Florida DOESN'T care that they lost their delegates. Otherwise, your posts are basically like a link to an article telling me that Democrats are still unhappy with the results of Bush v. Gore- obvious and useless. |
