No Re-Vote In Florida

March 17, 2008

Ben Smith has the details, and says it’s a not a good thing for Clinton. I’d tend to agree, but I think the stakes were sort of exaggerated in Florida from the start. Most of the Edwards supporters probably would have gone to Obama at the convention. Clinton loses a chance at a bigger win, but given all the incentives she gave leading up to Florida, and what else was on the ballot (such as the property tax measure that is now infamous), I’d have been surprised if the results would have been dramatically different.

The probable lost chance at a full delegate slate hurts a bit, but Clinton isn’t playing for delegates at this point.
