President Obama is relaxed and smiling. Mitt Romney is tight faced and wild eyed. Interesting because right now, President Obama has infinitely more on his plate. But the President is competent and strong, Romney is a liar whose lies are catching up with him.

That would be amazing. How much does Mitt regret that NYT editorial??

Someone from Florida, please throw some light here. Does GOP have a plan for a "big theft"?


http://www.tampabay.com/news/politics/national/article1259531.ece
has Romney up by 6

But NBC-Marist poll has Obama up by 2.

Early voting:
http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/11/whos-really-winning-early-voting/264436/

says actually Mitt has the upper hand.

FLORIDA

Who's leading the early vote: Democrats, 43 percent to 41 percent.

How significant is it: More than 50 percent voted early in 2008.

The spin: Though Democrats are leading the combined early and absentee vote in Florida, they led it in 2008 by a much greater margin. Their current lead of nearly 60,000 votes is far short of the 280,000-vote lead (and 46-37 margin) they carried into Election Day in 2008. (The dropoff could be a result of the shortening of in-person early voting.) Republicans' share of the early vote, 41 percent, is 5 points higher than their share of voter registration, 36 percent, while Democrats' 43 percent of early voters is just 2 points above their 41 percent voter registration share. In a state Obama won by less than 3 points in 2008, where the majority of votes are early and Republicans tend to win Election Day, any falloff should be concerning for Democrats.

Who's really winning: Republicans.


Thank you for throwing some light. Florida is such a corrupt state (thanks to GOP), they give me nightmares. The only place seniors vote for GOP in big numbers!!!!!!!!
