dang it FL and MI


Tomorrow is the biggest primary day since Super Tuesday. There are four states involved: Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas, and Vermont. If either candidate comes out with a decisive win in either Ohio or Texas they could pull enough momentum to win the Democratic primary. Obama is riding high after winning every state since Super Tuesday. Clinton, for whatever reason, seems to be confident in her ability to win.
What about Florida and Michigan? Because both states decided to move up their primaries, Michigan lost half of their delegates and Florida lost all of their delegates. Clinton won both states. She will not receive any delegates from Florida and Michigan, and therefore can barely be called a win. Could these two states have made a difference in the count if they didn’t move up the primary day? Florida knows all too well about botching close ballots.
I just hope someone comes out on top so Obama and Clinton can stop battling each other and to move on to the race for the November election.
