January 30, 2008 (LPAC)--Hillary Clinton won far more votes in the Democratic Presidential Primary's record turn-out in Florida Jan. 29, than either Republican winner John McCain, or runner-up Mitt Romney did in Florida's Republican primary.
Despite the fact that none of the Democratic candidates campaigned in Florida before the primary, and it was widely publicized that no delegates would be awarded because Florida had broken the Democratic Party's rules by holding its primary early, nonetheless 854,089 voters backed Senator Clinton, with Sen. Barack Obama a distant second, at 567,356 votes. Sen. John McCain, winner of the Republican primary, garnered only 689,300 votes, and Mitt Romney, who finished second, got 593,028.
American statesman Lyndon LaRouche has pointed out that Obama is being set up by his backers to destroy Hillary, and then will be pulled down in his turn, when Michael Bloomberg enters the race with his $11 billion Independent candidacy to enforce fascism "above the parties," like Mussolini.
The other fact of substance "from Florida": Tony Rezko, the accused extortionist whom Obama represented in real estate cases, and whose largesse he benefited from in a property purchase, is back in jail in Illinois, for breaking his bail conditions.
Obama set himself up for this fall by proclaiming that his connection to Rezko was only five hours work on a Rezko property case early in his career.
