Well, desperation is a telling thing. Clinton promised to stay out of Florida after Florida said “screw you,” to New Hampshire … or something. Whatever. She promised, but, that was when she was presumptive, so, it doesn’t count, right?

From the NATION via YAHOO News:

Like other candidates, she pledged not to campaign in Florida after the state jumped ahead on the schedule of caucuses and primaries set by the Democratic National Committee. She had to make that pledge if she hoped to compete in the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses and the first-in-the-nation New Hampshire primary, as Iowa and New Hampshire zealously guard their starting status on the political calendar.

Justification?

The Clinton campaign claims that the senator from New York is abiding by the no-campaigning pledge because Sunday’s two Florida events were technically closed to the public. But the stops were treated as major news events in a state where many Democrats have expressed anger over the absence of the party’s presidential candidates during a period when Florida is overrun by Republican contenders.

Ah.  So, what about Obama?

Obama’s just abiding by the pledge. Admittedly, it’s a foolish pledge. None of the campaigns should have taken it, and they all should have agreed to drop it. But in the absence of such an agreement, Obama is not ignoring Floridians. He is remaining true to his word.

Of course, Obama is surging, while Clinton is desperate.

How desperate? She says she’ll be back in Florida Tuesday night, presumably to claim a win like the one she hailed after beating “uncommitted” in a Michigan primary that the other major candidates skipped.

Ah. Keeping his word. Good job, Barack. THAT is yet another reason I’m voting for you.
