My point, exactly.

The same after-the-fact reasoning applies to people pretending that a candidate's book should be read.

But I don't think that I said that someone had to read an entire book. I believe I pointed out this wonderfully useful thing called an index. I don't think that looking something up in a book is an "unnecessary hurdle" to someone who wants something really specific as to a candidates position on something. Just look up "abortion" "gay marriage" "educational system" or "strict constructionist" and go wild.

I'm not "pretending" that a candidate's book should be read by everyone who wants to vote. I only said that if you want to know what specifically a candidate would like to see done on a certain issue and the candidate wrote a book on politics in america about a year or so ago, instead of assuming and representing to others that the candidate doesn't have a plan, why not find out first by looking it up.

Circular discussion.

Regarding the idea that people in Florida don't want Obama, and that it wasn't about name recognition, what about reports that of people who voted within the last month, Obama won, and of people who voted earlier than that up to a year (?) ago, Clinton won?

There may be a lot of other factors their, it's not a random population sample, but it shows that Obama gained ground in Florida, not lost it. And that's without making useless promises of "fighting" for Florida's delegates. (And let's not get to Michigan. Of course Clinton wants their delegates counted, every other major candidate pulled his name from the ballot.)
