30. There Is No Lucie County
Thu Oct 11, 2012, 08:50 PM
Oct 2012
Have you been to Collier County? Have you been to Okeechobee County? Have you been to Lee County? Have you been to Lucie County? Have you been to He dry County? Yes I have. And about 65 others around the state. And it is Republican as it comes.

Nice try but I know this state and travel it daily


But there is a St. Lucie County that Obama carried 56% -44%:
