Clinton Thanks Florida Voters

By Anne E. Kornblut
DAVIE, Fla. -- After winning Florida's non-binding Democratic primary, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton thanked Florida voters for their support. "I could not come here to ask in person for your votes, but I am here to thank you for your votes today," Clinton told a cheering audience in a ballroom in Davie, near Fort Lauderdale, where many in the crowd waved the trademark green signs of the municipal workers' union AFSCME, which campaigned for Clinton in Florida after the Democratic party ban took effect.

"I am thrilled to have had this vote of confidence that you have given me today," Clinton said. "And I promise you, I will do everything I can to make sure, not only are Florida's Democratic delegates seated, but that Florida is in the winning column for Democrats in 2008."

She began speaking at 8:45 p.m., less than an hour after the polls closed; she was joined by Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Alcee Hastings; Miami Mayor Manny Diaz; and Florida Sen. Bill Nelson. Clinton spoke for about six minutes before exiting the stage to the tune of "Takin' Care of Business."
