TIMESONLINE: Hillary Clinton has won Florida's Democratic primary by a landslide, triggering an immediate war of spin with Barack Obama over the significance of her victory.
After a race where no campaigning took place and no delegates were on offer Mrs Clinton flew to Florida tonight to talk up her success.
The move was an attempt to snatch the media spotlight away from Mr Obama, and some momentum, after his prize endorsement from Senator Edward Kennedy in Washington on Monday.
With two fifths of precincts reporting, Mrs Clinton had won 51 per cent of the vote, Mr Obama 30 per cent and John Edwards 16 per cent. Hillary Clinton hails victory as Barack Obama cries spin >>> By Tim Reid in Miami and Tom Baldwin in Washington
