U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Weston will host an 11:30 a.m. rally at the Century Village retirement community in Pembroke Pines for Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton. The candidate won't be there, of course, in keeping with her pledge not to campaign in Florida because its early primary breaks national party rules.
But under the pledge's fundraising loophole, Clinton will attend two private events tomorrow in Miami Beach: a $500-per-person gig at Lucky Strike Lanes and a $2,300-per-person reception at developer MIchael Adler's home.
more clinton sleeze!

Least she will seat our delegates while Obama says we don't count

He won't seat your delegates because you're breaking the rules. Makes sense to me.

Hmmmm I don't have to say I bet she wouldn't say that before IA, NH, or NV because well, she didn't. why she didn't mention the idea to seat delegates before Iowa, NH, Nevada is obvious. She would be in Guilianni's situation now if she did. Praying for FL. But she plays politics like a sleaze does. We all know the delegates are going to get seated. It's the DNC's stupidity to not follow the GOPs lead on how to hand the situation. Give a portion of the delegates, let the people's voice be heard, bring income to the state and attention to their needs from the press, and actually mean what you say. But we are talking about Democrats, and their gal, Hillary here, meaning what you say does not go hand and hand with either of them.

This is completely outrageous!!! I'm surprise the media has not put more heat on Hilary for cheating the system once again. Isn't putting out press releases about defying the intent of DNC rules to seat delegates in FL and fund raising right before the primary considered "campaigning"?

I live in Tampa Florida and have watched 2 different days an ad for Obama. Obama broke his pledge outright. Shame on him. The Republican will crush him.

I live in Florida, and Sen. Obama has been advertising here for at least a week. Isn't that breaking the rules? Besides, ALL the candidates have been to Florida at some time to raise money. If we our money is good enough, if tv ads are good enough, then seating our delegates should be good enough.

Enough of the drama, vote for Obama!

Obviously,Sen.Clinton is taking her fight to within the party.This is so like the present administration.If she decides to break the rules,and fight the DNC to seat these Delagates it's Florida and now Michigan de ja vu.Hillary does not play well with others.If she thinks this is an exibition of leadership,let's just crown her now. I'm sorry Floridians it certainly is not your fault.

How many years do you think a teacher has to be teaching before making 50 thousand dollars?We appreciate the counteracting variation of comparison.Or shall we use compendious and plug in NCLB.
Posted by: Trail still blazing!!!!! | January 30, 2008 at 12:38 PM
NCLB....Title III has also reduced funds available per eligible student as well as for training,research,and support services related to the English Language Acquisition Act.We once called it the Bilingual Education Act.Now count the Ell students in America that need support.The new law will provide federal funds for English language learners,but the funds will not be federally administered through competitive grants.They will be distributed as grants to each state based on their enrollments of Ell's and immigrant children.Send your support to your local school system.Especially the inner city schools and poverty areas of concern.They may have copy machines not operative and be running classrooms on one pack of paper a month.

We will fight for you and thank-you Edwards,one American public school system.Some of our teachers are in the back of pick-up trucks in inner cities at churches picking up paper and pencils for students.Is the music on yet?How about Marvin Gay,"What's Going On."
Posted by: Trail still blazing!!!!! | January 30, 2008 at 01:42 PM
DNC,what is that, dedicated no chair?Music stopped,find your chair.Fe,FI,FO,FUM,get ready cause here she comes.Play fair or you will study the constitution of this great United States."We hold these truths to be self evident."All those voters show out and I guess they just didn't hear the music stop?Forgiveness is a beautiful thing and we'll carpe diem right along our trail.Playing music,not after giants in politics."You're alright,out of sight,and so were those seats.Free choice,that is what we said,when they said vouchers.Family full of hard core elephants and only two donkey's.Mom passed and I won't let her down.They were tough in debate but we hung in there.We were out numbered but they never shut us up once we got started.Hooray for the Dr.in the family living in Florida now.Look out for the alligators.Clinton played fair and you should know better than getting a donkey fired up.Come on over,we'll saddle you up for change and a new direction in America.Vote HILLARY CLINTON for an intelligent direction.Over half of Florida did but when the music stopped they could not find their seats.Are they all ?Tell the truth?I don't work for her and do not have to be politically correct but will be polite.Why were you not in your seats?Okay,we'll let you slide this time on a hall pass but next time your parents will be called.Start the music please and thank-you.Name that tune?Don't fuss,
Posted by: Trail still blazing!!!!! | January 30, 2008 at 03:38 PM
Call the edit department,we were not ready for publish and it printed anyway.Mistakes happen and we are over you not being in your seat.Next time,there could be a behavioral modification plan.Do not push one another trying to find your chairs.Play fair and be polite please.
