As of today, I hear that the race in FL has become very close
with Obama going a little ahead. I hope that we FL democrats will pull together and not let the republicans do it to us AGAIN.

1. We tied up 48 to 48 last I heard.

2. I'm watching from afar
I'll be back in the state to vote in Nov. Am working on Obama campaign in NC. If we get out the vote we have it. Folks are flocking to the Dem HQ in my conservative leaning little mountain town for Obama signs THIS WEEK. I think that the "economy is basically sound" comment has put folks over the line. Keep working hard and thanks.

4. It looks better in my area too
In Naples, a typical wealthy Republican area, I am seeing alot more obama bumper stickers then usual. I also know many young ppl who are enthusiastic and ready to pull the lever for obama.
It's lookin good. Still a long way to go.

9. I have yet to see one single McCain sticker in Naples
NONE. However, I am very worried about what the GOP is trying to pull here and disenfranchise Democrats. It was in the Naples News yesterday.

6. Unfortunately.......
NW Florida is still in the hands of the right.  However, with
the economy issue maybe we can gain some ground.

8. I went to an Obama rally in Jacksonville today. I believe 18,000 showed
up for it. The McCain event a week or two ago only had about 5,000.

7. The lies continue on TV
The Insane/Failing campaign keeps running the "real mavericks" ad which has been debunked many, many times already.
She DID NOT stop the bridge to nowhere.
She IS NOT a reformer.
He IS NOT the original maverick!

Keep repeating the lies, pukes!!

11. Keep the good info coming
I'm reading this link everyday. We feel that the secret to winning this one is voter registration and getting out the vote. It is happening in FL. Good work. What about the rest of the counties in FL.? Are we going to here from you?

12. Just was in naples at the mall
Just looking for a place to park at coastland center I saw several Obama stickers on cars. Not saying Naples is blue by any means, but it's a gain :)

Hopefully Florida Dems will put out the win this year.

14. SARASOTA County Looking VERY VERY Good For Obama!! Was Out
canvassing this past week-end and of ALL the doors we knocked on only ONE solid McCain and ONE wouldn't say! ALL, and I mean ALL others said OBAMA/BIDEN!

I was SHOCKED!! The second Reddest County in Florida and it's really looking so much better!!

Now, if anyone here is from Sarasota, or DISTRICT 13 it's IMPERATIVE to vote for Barry Sullivan for Supervisor of Elections in Sarasota County!! Get rid of KATHY "Cruella" DENT!! And let's vote for Christine Jennings in droves! She kinda/sorta lost to Vern Buchanan last time out by 369 votes, 18,500 of which were NEVER found!!

She is having a harder time now, Jan Schneider is pulling a "Joe Lieberman" here. Once a Democrat, she is now running as NPA and drawing votes AWAY from Jennings!! I was once a Schneider supporter, but if she's willing to throw a cog in the wheel I am ready to CALL HER OUT ON IT!!

Writing a letter to the editor AND calling her personally! The Jennings campaign tried to reason with her, but she said NO! Guess she would rather have VERN again! I'm BOILING MAD!!!

15. Keep on working and checking in to let us know how we are
doing all over the state. I am in NC and it is just as close here. People came from everywhere to the Obama rally in Asheville last Sunday. They expected 15,000 and got at least 28,000. Keep the spirit Florida, I think change is on the way.

18. I've been seeing a surprising number of Obama/Biden signs in South County....
which I would guess is even more republican than North County....Hopefully Sullivan wins.

Jennings doesn't have a shot anymore because of the way she's been campaigning.....100% negative. I hate Vern as much as everyone else here but that is not gonna win her an election. Plus Schneider could siphon quite a bit of the Dem vote because Jennings is quite conservative. Time to find a better candidate in 2010...

19. I am very afraid to vote here (new resident)
When I voted in the primary in Naples, I was greeted with, "Lookie here! We got ourselves a Democrat". Damn, if nothing else, isn't that ILLEGAL?

I understand that I will be given a paper receipt after voting, but it will not record WHO I voted for, so how will I know they aren't switching votes?

I just plain don't trust it.

20. Early Voting Activities
Got a call this afternoon from my local Obama office. We are having a breakfast Monday morning and then forming a caravan to go early vote.
