What is Obama doing to win over Florida?
Rick Scott has the lowest approval ratings of ANY Governor.

What is Obama doing to take advantage that fact?

Florida is a very important state... I see this as a potential huge pickup in Electoral votes as well as at the local level in the House and Senate.

I don't see an Obama PLAN for Florida.

3. What are you/we doing in Florida to make sure he gets re-elected?
Really- think about it. President Obama will be here- and he'll be here often. This is too important of a state for him not to come visit and not to pay attention to. But his re-election also depends on US. We need to get people motivated and make sure to get out the vote. I get it that people are mad and disappointed but the alternatives are terrifying.

Here in Miami call centers have been working round the clock and are gathering volunteers and getting the teams organized. I'm certain the same is going on throughout the state since there is already a ground crew in place getting things organized.

And as a reminder- IT IS ALL ABOUT THE TURNOUT. We need a landslide to counteract the rigged machines and disenfranchisement that has already started in every state.

Are you in? Sign up and get involved. I will be doing the same thing.

8. Those that can, do. Those that won't, complain a lot.
Good for you for volunteering your energy and talent to the cause.

5. According to my e-mail
Joe Biden is coming here to kick things off at the 2011 state convention. Perhaps you did not get the invite.

6. I have bad news
As a lifelong Floridian active in the Florida Political scene.

Let me tell you I see no way President Obama wins Florida again.

Yes Florida is disgusted with Gov. Scott but that does not carry over to Presidential politics.

7. I am pretty sure you are incorrect
as a lifelong Floridian active in the political scene. It really won't be all that difficult to take FL again.

Gov. Scott and the repug lege are not done, all the same critters will be back next year to do a good bit more of the same. It will translate and it will translate up and down the ballot. The economy here is going nowhere and the crew in Tally will only keep making it worse.
