Even though Democratic presidential candidates pledged not to campaign in Florida after its primary was moved up, Hillary Clinton spent the weekend in the Sunshine State raising big bucks and campaigning before Tuesday’s big event.
Violating her own party’s rules, Clinton toured south Florida with the mayor of Miami (Manny Diaz) and attended two big fundraisers Sunday evening. The first event was held at a bowling alley in the trendy South Beach area and supporters paid $500 each to schmooze with the New York Senator.
Outside the bowing alley, in clear view of hundreds of supporters and opponents, Clinton was spotted holding a rather large sign that read, in part: "We want a president that can keep a promise." Of course, she was referring to herself. If that isn’t campaigning, then what is?
Democratic presidential candidates vowed not to campaign in Florida, a crucial swing state, after it moved up its primary to play a bigger role in choosing the nominee. The Democratic National Committee also stripped the state of delegates to the party’s convention in late August. Ahead in most Florida polls, Clinton is now urging the party to reverse and seat delegates from the state.
In the meantime, the former First Lady is disregarding her own party’s rules and campaigning all over the Sunshine State with local politicians who support her.

We want a president that can keep a promise.
How ironic that the sign she was holding said "We want a president that can keep a promise."
How about keeping the promise to not campaign? And of course, she wants the DNC to change their mind, she is ahead! If Obama was in the lead, she would be praising their decision to strip delegates.
Clinton Campaigning in Florida
True to form, Hillary does what she wants when she wants inspite of the rules. She once again has snubbed the DNC. It would appear to be the DNC would levy some kind of punishment against her for her unethical behavior. The DNC should strip her of her candidacy. The is so corrupt! She will do anything and everything to get the nomination. Hillary a weak, power-hungry person who does not give a damn about our country, its citizens, or our democracy!!
The distinction between Mr. Obama and Hillary are:
MR. OBAMA IS A POWERFUL MAN
HILLARY IS A CORRUPT AND SELFISH PERSON WHO WANTS TO ATTAIN POWER.
Shame on her!! She (and Bill) have fooled us too many times, we will not allow their corruption to blind us once again. They are old and do not belong in this new century and new generation. Theyshould retire to some remote island we don't ever have to hear or see them again!!
rules and hill
you didn't expect something as silly as a few rules to stop clinton from working the crowds in the sunshine state or from her wanting the del. seated at the convention. After the licking she took in SC she is going to try anything she can if it means improving her del. count. the clintons have never worried too much about rules before so why should they worry now. Look on the bright side if she wins then they can both have speaking tours after she messes up the country even more than the current pres. has done, not to forget double pensions that would be a first. but of cource no one would think she would do it just for the money remember white water.
