Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton says she'll go to Florida to assure Democrats that "their voices are heard" and to underscore her commitment to seeing the state's delegation seated at the national convention.
Though the Democratic presidential candidates largely have heeded the national party's request that they not campaign publicly in Florida, Clinton says it's time to pay attention to voters there who are showing heavy interest in Tuesday's primary.
She says early voting is under way and drawing strong interest.
Clinton met with reporters as she campaigned in Tennessee, one
of 22 states with primary contests on February 5th, and she sought to shift the focus from her lopsided loss to rival Barack Obama in the South Carolina primary on Saturday to the coming contests.
