2. Those are some great numbers!

Strategic vision not only is a republican firm, they have a consistent republican bias.

I guess this proves that people care more about the economy then crap that happened forty years ago.

12. Looks like the old folks are coming around
The old folks that we need that is, on the Gold Coast.

If you have parents or grandparents in Florida call 'em up and get 'em on the Obama team!

And promise them that you'll call more too.

19. I suspect there is an anti-Palin Jewish vote that is killing McCain in Florida.
Ironic that the Jewish vote may be partly responsible for Obama winning this thing.

24. The NY women I know who have retired in florida are smart and reality based.
They know a bimbo when they see one. They were never snowed not for a minute.

Only the fundie wackos like her. I know there are alot of those in florida, but florida is also filled with women who had solid careers andtravel the world. They're not small town whiners. They don't appreciate her ridiculous act.

I've believed florida was blue, except for their unique ability to rig the vote.
