Florida GOP Memo: "Democrats are cleaning our clocks"

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. --A memo obtained by NewsChannel 5's Evan Axelbank, from an adviser to a Florida GOP campaign, says that the Democratic turnout effort is "cleaning our clock."

()

The memo says, "The early and absentee turnout is starting to look more troubling."

It also says, "Even if Romney wins the state (likely based on polls), the turnout deficit in PBC will affect our local races."

The other day I got a telephone call 'reminding' me to expect an absentee ballot and to be sure to put two stamps on it when I send it in. After checking with the Supervisor of Elections office to make sure that no one had fraudulently requested that an absentee ballet be sent to me, I called the Florida office for the Romney campaign. There is only a message with voice mail - no person to answer the phone, no way to get to a person.

I had trouble leaving a message, I was laughing so hard at them for not even answering their phone at the main campaign office for a swing state! I told them that I thought it was FRAUD to claim that I was being sent an absentee ballot and asked that they remove my number from their calling list. That didn't work - I got another call yesterday for the same thing.

I posted about two weeks ago about how I thought the Obama campaign seemed a little disorganized here in Pinellas County, Florida. Since then i have been called by 4 different Obama campaign people and am currently canvassing before the election and working the polls on election day. Now that am working in the campaign, I will tell you that I was completely wrong. If what I have seen is any indication, Obama and all of us are going to be pleasantly surprise on election day. All of the volunteers have felt the same momentum shift over the last 2 weeks; the polls today just confirm what I thought.
