Are you surprised Best Florida has Obama leading?

Keep in mind that Southeast Florida is a good chunk of the state's population.
They're showing Romney winning 14% among African-Americans again. Either SurveyUSA knows something nobody else does about the black population, or the exact opposite is true.

Time to get Joe Lieberman down to Florida. Wait, does he even support Obama this time?
Who's the top and who's the bottom? And is the bottom a normal bottom or a "power bottom?"

Interestingly, they're also showing Cuban voters tied. They supported McCain in 08 and recently I've read that they were supporting Romney. SUSA sucks.
Including ME
We have been working very hard and I think it shows in that nineteen point lead
yet EVERY OTHER REGION HAS OBAMA DOWN.
I do not enjoy being a swing state. If Florida had a chance of being the deciding factor this time around I would seriously induce a coma.
also, he could turn nj and maybe some other more traditional swing states if he doesn't go crazy with the
cheese whiz
That was the worst dose of hopium I've tasted yet. What is that site? So much hatred.Here's the CBS story:

If you google FreeRepublic and Obama and Cristie, you'll see two decent threads. They ain't happy. This pic didn't help..
Those SUSA numbers explains why Romney's hopping over there for 3 events tomorrow. He probably planned on putting it away along with NC by now. And Obama leading among banked votes is p. damn encouraging, he doesn't necessarily need FL but keeping it competitive is awesome. And with his incredible ground game, I don't think he'll under-perform on election day.

Obama crushed McCain in 08 in Orange County and is beating Romney pretty bad in early voting. Not sure how left-leaning you expect it to be? Especially with local politicians all pretty much being republican.
He hasn't endorsed anyone.
-_-
In 2008, I was working for the campaign in Alachua because I was still in school. Alachua county went blue by a bigger margin than any other county except for broward *flex*Work harder up in north Florida.
edit: It might not have been #2 but it was a huge victory and surrounded by red on a district map and I was happy.

Then the white male independent vote has been conceded to Romney in Florida. =( Just one more reason to hate Lieberman.
He campaigned for McCain in 2008

It's usually close enough to be a big battleground area of the state. I know it leans left, but I would think it would be as unbalanced as South Florida, and it isn't.

Freepers.
Dammit, now the Freepers are making me like Chris Christie. I feel dirty.
I'm sure it will this time too but Florida's electoral votes are given FPTP. The margin of victory helped Florida go for Obama in 2008.Alachua always goes blue. It's a college town
It's going to be a brutal struggle this time
I used to oppose this idea. Even after 2000, I still opposed it, idealistic as I was.
Now I'm ready to do the fucking sawing myself.

Go out and run a mile. You'll have nothing in common with Christie then.

Not just that, but Klobuchar is one of the most popular politicians in the country. Her approval ratings are like 70%. That hasn't stopped Republicans from deluding themselves into thinking she's going down, though, partially assisted by their incredibly transparent whisper campaign that she's a lesbian.
It was Election Eve, 2016. President Barack Obama stood idle, wearing a pensive expression on his face that hid his anxiety. It was amazing to think of where he was just three years ago. Everyone in the media, a function of society he detested, had been excitedly chattering about the statesmen lining up to take his place in 2016. Of these, one name emerged - Hillary Clinton - but those hopes were dashed when she'd denied any interest in the presidency. Neither side could produce one half-decent candidate who Obama approved of... Well, except one.
Obama was waiting in the wings to stump for New York governor Andrew Cuomo, who bought his way to the Democratic nomination just like his rival, Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney won the Republican nomination four years prior. As far as the President was concerned, the differences between the two men could not be more miniscule. Sure, Mr. Cuomo was hardly bound to any religious ideology the way Mr. Romney was, but at their core they were businessmen, men who accumulated wealth through luck and family connections, and were now trying to win the hearts of the American people without any of the charisma or class to be expected from presidential candidates.
"It's all a part of the game, Barack," he told himself. As a Democrat, his name would be tarnished in liberal circles if he had denied to endorse Mr. Cuomo as his heart wanted him to do so much. While waiting, his blackberry began to buzz.
The Secret Service, figuring that President Obama was on his way out, restored his phone privileges. It was a feature that the President enjoyed having again in his life.
He looked down on the screen. It was the Republican nominee, New Jersey governor Chris Christie. His girth was so that only a quarter of his face could be contained on the screen.
Obama glanced out at the crowd. Joe Biden had just taken the stage. Crazy old Joe. Barack figured he had about seventeen minutes, but with Joe there was never a guarantee. This would certainly be a risk.
He answered the phone.
"Hey baby," Barack said.
TO BE CONTINUED...?

how is this looking compared to 08?

Someone with far greater Photoshop skills than me needs to edit that Bugs Bunny gif to show him sawing off Florida, but then reattaching South Florida to the bottom of Georgia.I'm sure it will this time too but Florida's electoral votes are given FPTP. The margin of victory helped Florida go for Obama in 2008.

Same here. I'm actually feeling.. gratitude toward him for acting like a decent human being. I wouldn't have expected this from Jindal or Florida's joke governor.
That's how low the bar for Republicans has gotten: act like a human, and I'm impressed at how remarkable it is.
And I'm sure that if he should get the GOP nomination in 2016, the party will force him to contort such that I grow to loathe him. Sad, really.

Seriously, Bachmann's success here is some kind of freaky anomaly.

Is that actually Matt Drudge or just someone having fun with the username?
God-awful.
Not really, I mean, it wasn't a COMPLETE blowout in 08, but it was an insurgency, man. A sight to see.
This is a tie.

I had high hopes for Florida. Romney deserves to be humiliated at Election night.

Well played, Gadsden. Well played. I thought Broward was the most Democratic county in the state, but they've got us beat.
Also, looks like I was wrong about the Orlando area being closer to even. Good to know.
There it is, I figured we did not Cheebo to throw in a poll showing Obama down
I post all tracking polls . It's just poligaf rushes to post them if Obama is up and avoids posting them when Obama goes down. If Obama went up it would have already been posted.

Storm may be knocking off 1 point or more of Obama's national numbers.
So I'll just assume the ABC poll is saying Obama up 7.
