Also, this could swing Mass toward Barack, and Hillary had a massive lead there. It would be a big story if that happens. Concerning Florida, everybody agreed last summer that it didn't count. She'll try to make it count, and that just makes her look desperate. It's not a smart move.

Tell me Donklephant would you change your vote because Ted told you to? It might have a bit of benefit at the margins but that's it. I'd pay much closer attention to what comes out of FL today. If her basic coalition holds together after SC and the slavish press he's been getting for weeks I'd say she's going to have a great day next Tuesday.
