Florida Vote: Which is it? Meaningless or Meaningful?

Obamaniacs: Fla Vote is Meaningless, yet Obama won "late-comer" votes

Speaking out both sides of their mouths.

1) Florida vote is meaningless

2) Florida vote is meaningful because Obama won the vote with "late-comers"

Which is it?

Pick one. Because you can't have it both ways.

Meaningless or meaningful?

1. Both...

We get no delegates, so it's meaningless ~ for now.

The results show that Hillary has a lot of support in an important state ~ imo that means Obama needs to campaign here, and to reach out to older voters more.

2. I'd say it's meaningless.

Or at least the HUGE number of votes from about a month ago are meaningless. It seems silly to me that people would vote before getting a serious view of the candidates.

I'd say for real analysis we should look at the votes that were cast after Iowa and beyond. At least by then the people would have had a chance to get a look at the candidates in action.

3. As much as I hate to say it because my native Michigan is in the same boat...

It is meaningless.

4. Hillary's fuax rally looked ridiculous

5. I say meaningful for another reason

I think it shows how prominently name recognition will play out in Super Tuesday states that none of the candidates campaign in. It shows how a lack of campaigning and information will lead to name recognition voting.

6. 2 million democrats exercised their constitutional right by casting a

vote hoping their voice will be heard. I call that pretty damned meaningful.

7. Easy.

for Obama, his supporters, the power-elite and Corpress -- meaningless.

The rest of us out here -- MEANINGFUL!!! (Well, okay I can't speak for Edwards supporter.)

Over a million FL Dems went out to vote
