Thread Name: BS: FLA Delegation Will Be Seated at DNC
Subject: RE: BS: FLA Delegation Will Be Seated at DNC
Actually, Clinton won Florida by a 17% margin according to the AP article I got the info from, which would, if awarded under the formula normally used in FL primaries, give her the lead over Obama in the delegate count.
The case in FL is substantially different than the Michigan case, so please don't consolidate threads--it will make the discussion of the two very difficult.
At this point, it is clear that Obama doesn't want the vote counted, because he was trounced. He is also trailing Clinton in the "matchup" polls pitting each candidate against McCain.
Florida's Dems don't seem to be terribly pro-Obama, which will make negotiations difficult, especially with the popular vote being so decisively in favor of Clinton.
