Cash-Strapped Clinton Campaigns In South Florida

Clinton Camp To Obama: No Nominee Yet

CORAL GABLES (CBS4) ―

After her primary victory in Kentucky, Sen. Hillary Clinton visited South Florida during a one day tour on Wednesday, insisting she still sees a path to the nomination by winning over the party leaders and elected officials known as superdelegates.

Clinton started her day in Boca Raton at a "Solutions for America" event at Century Village, located at 19296 Lyons Road and ended at the University of Miami's campus in Coral Gables.

"It took a Clinton to clean up after the first Bush, and it's gonna take a Clinton to clean up after the second Bush," said Clinton at UM's Bank United Center.

Earlier in the day she visited senior centers in Boca Raton and Sunrise.

She said, "The people of Florida voted back in January, you did your part, you showed up in record numbers and made informed choice and today, some months later, you still don't know if these votes will help help determine our party's nominations."

CBS4 Ted Scouten, following her campaign, interviewed supporters, like Elaine Maidy, who said, "I will never get enough of her, I love her.  She's got to be our next president. She has to be."

Lynn Kobrin added, "It's almost 50-50 split down the middle. How do you tell one person to get out of the race?  It's just totally unfair."

Though political analysts insist it may be mathematically impossible for her to beat Sen. Obama's lead in the delegate count.  

Wednesday afternoon, Sen. Clinton traveled to the Sunrise Lakes Phase 4 Clubhouse, located at 10102 Sunrise Lakes Blvd for an event that began in the late afternoon.

Both candidates signed a pledge nine months ago that kept them from campaigning in Florida before the January 29th primary. Other than a rally Clinton held after polls closed that night, neither candidate has campaigned in Florida since the Democratic National Committee stripped Florida of its delegates in September because its primary was held before February fifth. The DNC said Florida, and Michigan as well, violated its rules by holding primaries in January and would not seat their delegates at the national convention this summer.

Obama began his campaign sweep through the Sunshine State with a rally in Tampa, followed by a town hall meeting in Orlando.
