Who was speaking of Florida? Not me, because that might be mis-construed as campaigning. And we all know the Democratics have signed a pledge to not campaign in the Sunshine State.

"Hillary's Florida Folly" posted by Aaron Deslatte on Jan 6, 2008 12:09:10 PM
Chris Hand, the Jacksonville Democratic lawyer and former aide to U.S. Sen. Bob Graham and Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink, is stepping up the argument that many have echoed since national candidates shunned the biggest swing state in the country.
For Hillary Clinton, that message is: we told ya so.
Here's what Hand wrote in an op-ed in the Orlando Sentinel: "If Hillary Clinton ultimately loses the Democratic presidential race, most political historians will point to Jan. 3, 2008 -- the night she finished third in the Iowa caucuses -- as the beginning of the end. But another defining moment occurred on Sept. 1, 2007. That day, she canceled a political insurance policy that could have helped her recover from stumbles like the Iowa defeat. On that September Saturday, Clinton became the last of the major Democratic candidates pledging to boycott Florida's Jan. 29 primary and suspend any further campaigning in our state. ...
"Perhaps Hillary Clinton can turn the tide in New Hampshire and regain her footing for later contests. But as it stands now, the once-inevitable Democratic nominee faces a political hurricane without the benefit of insurance. As every Floridian knows, that rarely ends well."
