Poll question: Do The Florida Results Mean Anything To You?
The results for the Democratic side, that is.

1. Interesting to see what happens when no one campaigns, but
that not how it works in the real world, so it doesn't count for much.

But the spin from the different camps will be a wonder to behold. ;)

2. The lack of being exposed to the candidates will usually benefit Hillary, imo
Iowa got the most exposure to all the candidates and Hillary didn't do very well. MI and FL will have no exposure and she will do well.

3. God bless Florida..BUT...
The state parties in both states and the DNC made such a mess of our primaries--that they should not count for anything to be fair to all. In Michigan a lot of us sought to boost an uncommitted votes mainly as a defense against those who would crow about a Clinton victory.

Needless to say, the Clinton campaign crowed about a Michigan victory in a flawed primary that shold not count for anything. And they are preparing to do the same tonight.

I hope the media ignores Hillary and her "thank you" to Florida. Her thank you to Michigan only infuriated those of us here who got the shaft form the spat between our state party and the DNC.

4. I live here, so YES.
Besides, the results will be covered by the media so we'll have some influence. Actually, this is better than 2004 when we voted so late that the only candidate left was Kerry.
