I've been wondering what would happen if there is a re-vote in Florida.
One of the things that I've not seen anyone talk about is that the field has narrowed. There were eight contenders in the Florida primary. While there were people like Gravel pulling 0.3% of the vote, there was also Edwards pulling 14.4%. I think that if Florida went to a re-vote it would be similar to what just happened in the caucus in Iowa (Obama gaining 7-9 delegates according to different sources), Obama would potentially come close to tying Clinton in Florida if there was a re-vote. Here is the link to where I'm pulling these numbers: nytimes
Here's the graph from the Florida primary:
Candidate Vote %
Hillary Rodham Clinton 857,208 49.7
Barack Obama 569,041 33.0
John Edwards 248,604 14.4
Joseph R. Biden Jr. 15,429 0.9
Bill Richardson 14,782 0.9
Dennis J. Kucinich 9,537 0.6
Christopher J. Dodd 5,402 0.3
Mike Gravel 5,261 0.3
99% reporting
If Obama pulls in some of the other votes he closes in on Clinton and if more folks are mobilized to get out the vote, he just might overtake Clinton.
What do you think?
