Hillary is in trouble if she is already making a fuss about Florida Delegates
Something in her Internals is telling her that she won't be able to win the nomination with what is still available to win.

7. Two states she couldn't get delegate win in? Yeah, I'd say exactly like that
That is her trouble. She's not winning delegates and she knows it.

21. So she's worried after almost 3% of the 3250 delegates have been awarded and she is behind by 2?
When she currently has more super delegate pledges by a 2 to 1 margin?

9. Delegates: NH - Obama 9, Clinton 9. Nevada - Obama 13, Clinton 12.
I forget, who won those states again? Doesn't look like Hillary did.

5. Or she just wants to break the rules, as usual.
Let's make sure the Democratic Leisure Class doesn't win this time around.

6. It couldn't possibly be that
she's thinking ahead and in order not to piss off ALL the democratic FL voters, she's making a stab at making their voices heard. Which could help the whole party in November. Nah - it couldn't possibly be that.

She's getting the press to talk about Florida just as Obama will be losing the state by twenty points...

The fourth most populous state in the fricken union!!!

Team Clinton plays chess while her opponents play checkers...

It's like Bobby Fischer playing chess against, errrr , George Bush...

36. As she does everytime she fails to get her way
Can't win delegates in contested elections? How about we count some where I'm the only one on the ballot.

19. The DNC handled Florida badly...
This is a state with a pretty close party split and a lot of independents. By disenfranchising the state in the priimaries, they will lose voters in the General Election. It would have been better if we'd followed the GOP and stripped half the delegates instead of all.

I doubt we'll have this problem again. We'll have a National Primary in '12

27. "Making a fuss"? Is that what you are saying? Fighting for Democrats voting in primaries....
...and their votes not being counted is just "making a fuss" for you? Says a lot about your democratic ideals.

31. Oh no...stop the presses.
Hillary just made ANOTHER smart move. Man, she just keeps on doing that. Surely there must be something unfair about that. Surely.

Way to go, Hill!
