Limbaugh likes Hillary's chances in his home state

RushlimbaughRush weighs in on the Florida Democratic primary mess, DNC penalties, and the candidates' pledge to boycott the state: "What the Democrats are putting on display is that all this supposed stuff that they are: free speech, open-minded, tolerant -- is all BS. These people are socialists, and they want to control as much as everybody's lives as they can. Now, this Florida business is interesting on two fronts. Bill Nelson, I hate to say this, one of our senators...has actually filed suit against the DNC."

"...Mrs. Clinton doesn't need to campaign here.  She's got a 33 point lead.  The people that need to campaign here are Barack Obama, and the Breck Girl, and whoever else in that bunch thinks they have a chance, but they can't.  This is also a factor.  Mrs. Clinton doesn't have to come in and spend any money in Florida.  If her opponents can't come in here and campaign, what has she got to worry about?  This is a name recognition situation for her down here in Florida, and so she's got the state wrapped up.  So while on the surface it appears that Florida Democrats are in a battle with the DNC, in reality it's Mrs. Clinton putting Florida in her back pocket without a campaign here."
