The Obama camp is having a bit of fun with tonight's delegate-free results in Florida. Obama spokesperson Bill Burton just sent out an email with some big "breaking" news...

Obama and Clinton tie for delegates in Florida.

0 for Obama,

0 for Clinton.

0 for Edwards

4. How is telling the truth "spinning"

Did Hillary win some delegates I wasn't aware of?

13. !

:rofl:

I'm so glad you note what the Hillary campaign is doing over there in Florida. To those who know better, it is simply reminscent of the Bush campaign in 2000!

She better get her some flags quick!

[Joe the Revelator]

2. Well played by Team Obama.

[msongs]

7. wow did you realize there were so many gestapo in the us when you called HRC supporters that? nt

[Joe the Revelator]

16. I love how far into your head I've gotten

If you want I can send you an autograph.

3. So if Obama's the nominee, how much time & money is he gonna have to spend in FL?

Or should we just write off FL to the GOP should he take the nomination?

[NJSecularist]

8. Isn't that essentially what Hillary did?

Did she step a foot into Florida before tonight?

10. Last night he said a lot of time and $$$, that they intend to win it in the GE.

He was asked about it either on CNN or MSNBC (I can't remember which one).

[rinsd]

18. I think the time investment will have to be more significant.

Obama has shown himself to be a formidable fundraiser so I am not concerned with his campaign having to spend extra money in FL.

[cali]

17. Why should we? Was the dem turnout good today?

What makes you think that FL dems will sit it out or vote repuke in Nov?

[rinsd]

21. So why is the campaign handing the GOP material for FL?

Seriously you don't see Edwards out there doing all he can to dis FL.

[forsberg]

11. sounds like they're spinning the results in a state Obama got DESTROYED in

[tammywammy]

12. Funny

Good response. :)

[ursi]

14. LOL!

[KennedyGuy]

15. yep..hey Florida..you don't count..Love, Obama

now..on to unity...

[cd3dem]

19. this should help us win in November

[ray of light]

20. No. Florida and Michigan you don't count. LOVE, Howard Dean.

Those are the real facts. You may wish to pass the buck to Obama but it's Howard Dean and the DNC who has taken away all the delegates.

[sandnsea]

24. No, it's FL & MI who chose to break the rules n/t

[ray of light]

28. sandnsea. you don't know the half of the story...the promises the DNC made to

them to allow them to move it forward.


The legislature voted and made those changes BASED upon those promises.

[sandnsea]

32. They voted in May

They knew the consequences, they made their choice.

[johnnydrama]

31. haha

hey Florida, you don't count, you count, you don't count, you count.

love Hillary.

[sandnsea]

22. I still prefer Hillary's Potemkin Primary

either way though, this is the right way to play it. Laugh it off and move on.

[VolcanoJen]

23. Congratulations, Edwards Supporters!!!

:toast:

Nice play, Obama camp.

[Tulkas]

25. WOOT I can get behind that

[Zynx]

26. I would be so insulted if I was a Florida voter.

[stray cat]

27. Probably more angry at the DNC for deciding their votes don't count....

[ray of light]
