"What's The Celebration For?"
CNN reports that Democratic primary voters in South Carolina who made their presidential pick in the week before voting overwhelmingly chose Barack Obama. In Florida, according to exit polls, those last-minute deciders went for Hillary Clinton. The Dems had pledged not to campaign in Florida following national party sanctions that rendered the contest irrelevant to the presidential nominating process.
"What's the celebration for?" -- MSNBC's Keith Olbermann, to NBC's Andrea Mitchell at HRC's victory party (MSNBC).
Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol said it would be "risky" for HRC to assume the FL results will mean anything for future results (FNC).
CNN's Borger, on HRC in FL: "Lots of Democrats turned out. ... However, this is a talking point for Hillary Clinton. This is not a huge victory."
On the bright side ... CNN's Schneider, on HRC: "She got a healthy share of the African American vote." However, Schneider points out, in FL, only 18% of the voters were African-American.
The MSM can cry in their drinks for Obama all they want Hillary gave their guy a beating and the people of Florida spoke tonight.
Think you are wrong about later deciders in Florida. The final compilation of exit polls according to several sources that I read said Obama won them. HIllary got the early voters.
