Sen. Hillary Clinton was victorious in Tuesday night's Florida primaries, finishing in a convincing triumph over other Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama in what most are calling the most insignificant primary thus far.

Clinton prevailed with nearly 50 percent majority over Obama's 33 percent and former Senator John Edwards' 14 percent, according to CNN. Though the win seemed convincing, it was a bittersweet victory.

No delegates were awarded to Clinton as a result of her victory, because of a disagreement between Florida democrats and the Democratic National Committee over the timing of the primaries.

Clinton received zero delegates from Michigan, who lost their delegates as a punishment from the national committee, as well. 

Though the win in Florida did not add to her delegate total, Clinton intends to use the momentum to her advantage heading into Super Tuesday, where 22 states and American Samoa will simultaneously hold their primaries and caucuses.

We will send a clear message that America is back and we will take charge of our destiny once again. Sen. Hillary Clinton

"I am convinced that with this resounding vote, with the millions of Americans who will vote next Tuesday, we will send a clear message that America is back and we will take charge of our destiny once again," she said to a Floridian crowd at an event that the other Democratic hopefuls did not attend, according to First Coast News.

The Democratic presidential campaign also saw a shift Wednesday when back runner and former Senator John Edwards announced his decision to withdraw from the race to the White House.

"It's time for me to step aside so that history can blaze its path," Edwards announced to a crowd of New Orleans natives at the site of a Habitat for Humanity build.

The site of the announcement was special, because it is where Edwards first announced his candidacy for the upcoming Presidential election; it also highlights what has been one of the former Senator's primary concerns throughout the campaigning process: the cessation of poverty.

Before announcing his withdrawal publicly, Edwards asked both Clinton and Obama to vigorously pursue trying to stop poverty if they are successful in their quest for the presidency.

Edwards gave no definitive reason for his decision, but the recurrence of his wife Elizabeth's battle with cancer, as well as a rash of disappointments in both South Carolina and Florida were obviously influential in spurring the decision.
