The Spin Cycle: Hillary's Faux Victory

This just in...Hillary Clinton wins her second meaningless primary. And celebrates. That's right, hot on the heels of her victory in Michigan over "uncommitted," Hillary Clinton won the delegate-less Florida primary by 17 points. Hey, at least the other candidates' names were on the ballot this time. The Washington Post's Dana Milbank wrote a pretty scathing review of the whole affair here.

Nevermind the fact that all of the candidates agreed not to campaign in the state, or that no delegates were up for grabs, Clinton still deemed it necessary to give herself a victory party. The thing that really sticks in my craw is that she did not give any acknowledgment of her loss in SC, a real primary, with real delegates at stake, in which she got hammered. Just another example of the Clinton machine at work, doing whatever is necessary to look successful. What should not go unnoticed here is that she blatantly violated an agreement with the other candidates not to campaign in Florida and, now that she has won, is trying to get the Democratic party to reinstate both Florida and Michigan's delegates.
