Obama TROUNCED Hillary in S.C. by more than 2 to 1. Obama's down in FL by 17% where

[jenmito]

the majority of voters are Hillary's base (old voters). And we don't even know how many more delegates she would've gotten IF she got more than him in FL.

1. Did Obama win South Carolina by a quarter million votes (and counting)?

It is interesting you point out demographics. First Hillary won among people of all kinds of age groups. Second if any win this year was based on demographics it was Obama's SC win. What is he going to do in large diverse states? That is the story for him coming out of Florida. Not every state is going to have a bloc accounting for half the vote giving you 80% support. What will Obama do in California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, etc.?

5. yer wasting yer time talking to these ageist people nt

17. HAH!

Every once in a while, you Hillary supporters say something that makes me laugh.

[zanne]

6. Obama's win got him DELEGATES! nt

[jackson_dem]

10. 1 million votes in Florida for Hill mean nothing?

[zanne]

13. That's right. NADA! nt

20. It was a "beauty contest" as expected

and Hillary got the crown, no surprises in Florida.

Primaries are not representative of the whole population of voters, because those other party voters or NPAs (no party affiliates),they are locked out of the closed primaries in Florida. I'm NPA myself, but I'm following the nomination process with some interest, and I am just hoping the best man or woman will get the nomination for the GE. The only way I'd vote for Hillary is if she tones down the war rhetoric before Nov.

[elixir2]

22. Thank you Jackson Dem, you nailed it.

[Barack_America]

32. Yep, he correctly pointed out that Florida has a bigger population.

But that's about it...

[papau]

24. FL's over 500,000 votes for Hillary 51/31 margin is ignored by media

[Barack_America]

31. I still don't see how the greater population of FL is relevant.

But keep spinning.

[Metric System]

2. Who cares?!? The results don't matter anyway, as you all have pointed out. On to Super Tuesday!

[jenmito]

7. Just pointing out to those who think Hillary's "win" is such a good sign!

[MonkeyFunk]

3. Florida is much more representative

of the demographics of the rest of the US than SC is.

But nice try. Sorry your guy didn't do as well as my gal. It probably hurts, huh?

Need a hug?

[zanne]

12. Explain, please, about Florida's demographics.

How are Florida's demographics more representative? Doesn't Florida have a large minority population? That isn't representative of the nation as a whole. Also, Florida has the lion's share of elderly voters. That isn't representative, either.
ALSO, HILLARY GAINED NO DELEGATES TODAY. A hollow victory, indeed. Sleep tight now, sweetie.

[jenmito]

14. Things have changed BIG TIME.

I think YOU'RE going to need a hug after Feb. 5th. ;-)

[zanne]

18. Let the Hillarybots have that feeling of false security...

It bodes well for us!

[jenmito]

21. Yeah, you're right.

:hi:

[MonkeyFunk]

28. I always cuddle

after I fuck somebody.

4. You'll never be able to make wine out of those grapes.

[thunder rising]

8. In a state he did not appear in? In a contest that does not count?

[jasmine621]

30. He ran ads in FL. Hillary did not. Hillary did not appear until after

the polls closed. In a few days, i predict that the elder voters will tire of this Obama hysteria and break to the polls to put a damper on his coronation. They would do it much sooner if they are computer literate and read the posts at the DU.

[aquart]

9. Olllllllld voters.

Hell, they could all be dead by November! Take heart, you sweet young things.

So noble, so caring, so wave of the future.

[msongs]

16. will obamanistas be happy if everyone over 50 refuses to vote for him then?

since so many obamanistas seem to dislike older people, they should be screaming with delight if they don't get any of those decrepit oldsters votes. then they will scream bloody murder when their self fulfilling prophecy comes true.

Msongs

[zanne]

19. "Obamanistas"? Did you get that from Karl Rove? nt

[JVS]

27. Yeah, as if they'd vote for the Party of Destroying Social Security.

[MagsDem]

11. What's your point?

I mean she's beating him by a quarter million votes. And like it or not, that's just a preview of what's going to happen in the big states on super Tuesday. You Obama folks are in desperate need of a trip on the reality train.

[zanne]

15. We'll see, Mags, we'll see. Don't count on it. nt

[Mojorabbit]

25. I will say this again

according to the local coverage. Obama got the votes of those who voted today. Hillary got the early voters. I think they said a third of the state voted early. She still did good.

[Endangered Specie]

23. its okay to call Hillary's base "old voters", but I bet if I called Obama's base

"Black voters", I would be shouted down faster than Obama can smoke a cigarette.

[jenmito]

26. Obama doesn't smoke anymore. n/t

are for people who are unsure of themselves.
