First Read: A Quick Note about those Florida delegates Hillary mentioned in her statement...
A quick note about Clinton's statement: While American Samoa will actually award delegates to the Democratic National Convention, Florida WILL NOT. The Democratic National Committee stripped Florida -- like it did Michigan -- of ALL of its delegates for moving its primary before February 5. The eventual nominee can decide to sit Florida's and Michigan's delegates at the convention, but they won't count toward deciding the nominee.

So while Florida Democrats will vote in the state's primary on January 29, the contest will not be awarding delegates.
