6. Florida would seal the deal, I just think it's just too fluid and unreliable.

16. I thought it was generally considered that Romney was pulling away in Fla

this poll seems to be all over the place. Obama is still slightly up (within the margin so it is really tied) but it IS tied amongst men? WOW even NPR had a story about the overwhelming "gender gap" that Romney had across the country.

I've been watching FL closely
 and R$ is spending a HUGE amt of $$$ there. Would be great if it's all for the toilet flush. |
