Obama campaign: Hillary will say or do anything to get elected
The campaign of Barack Obama push backed against U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign on Friday afternoon, saying that she will "do or say anything" and suggested that Clinton's promise to try to seat Florida's 210 delegates was coming in the wake of polls that show that she may lose the South Carolina primary on Saturday.
"Now that Senator Clinton’s worried about losing the first Southern primary, she’s using Florida for her own political gain by trying to assign meaning to a contest that awards zero delegates and where no campaigning has occurred,'' said Obama campaign manager David Plouffe. "Senator Clinton’s own campaign has repeatedly said that this is a ‘contest for delegates’, and Florida is a contest that offers zero."
What's left unsaid, however, in Plouffe's statement is whether Obama would agree to seat Florida delegates if he wins the nomination.
"Where no campaigning has occurred...". Did he forget about Obama's huge cable buy in Florida??
Does anyone else find it ironic that the name of Obama's spokesperson sounds a lot like "fluff?"

Did it occur to anyone that Iowan's had these candidates hanging around for months and we faithfully listened to their every word, went to their events and resoundingly voted for Barack Obama and not Hillary Clinton?

Poster # 1, those cable buys were National, not Florida. They are played in Florida because Florida is part of the nation... duh. I don't think there is a national ad package that is played in the entire nation, except for florida.
