HAMMER TIME: Florida Gone for Obama

Moe Lane says, “Thanks for playing, Barry.”

The writing was on the wall when Suffolk stopped polling there, but Mason-Dixon confirmed it today: it’s over in Florida and Romney will win.

An exclusive Tampa Bay Times/Bay News 9 poll of likely voters along the Interstate 4 corridor finds Romney leading Obama 51 percent to 45 percent, with 4 percent undecided.

“Romney has pretty much nailed down Florida,” said Brad Coker of Mason-Dixon Polling and Research, which conducted the poll for the Times and its media partners. “Unless something dramatically changes — an October surprise, a major gaffe — Romney’s going to win Florida.”

Which both campaigns know very well. What I’m hearing privately – and it may also be public information right now – is that Obama for America has left the shell of its Florida operation up for appearances, but moved out its funding and national support out to other, more hopeful places

    I keep hearing the Obama camp is claiming momentum, me thinks their momentum is going in the wrong direction much like the last four years has. Vote Romney/Ryan 2012…end the error

    Last month we traveled 65 from the midwest to 75, 1, and then 75 again up to and including 10 all the way to Panama City. Not 1- that’s not ONE Obama sign. Many, many R&R signs.

    One of the best was a huge billboard visible from the entrance to Alligator Alley near Miami that said:

    Obama? Oy Vey! Had Enough.

    That one had us smiling all the way back to Naples.

    Romney can thank God and Marco Rubio,
    the most popular politician in Florida’s
    history, not just with Republicans, but
    with Democrats and with Independents, too.

    Obama has written off North Carolina, Florida, Indiana, and Virginia.

    All his focus is on Ohio. What the idiot doesn’t understand that while he may carry Ohio due to money, time, and voter fraud in Ohio, states where he thinks he’s safe like Michigan, Wisconsin, Maine, Minnesota, are going to go to Romney.

    Romney doesn’t need Ohio to win. It’s a different race this time.

    That’s good news but it’s still too close for my liking. 0bama cannot win an honest election so he IS going to cheat, count on it. We need a bigger gap. I can’t believe that many people are still voting for the son of a bitch traitor after what he has done to America.

    a heads-up to Col Allen West and the Florida Republican Party – they should plan on getting poll watchers at every polling place in Palm Beach County next Tuesday.

    I was living in North Palm Beach during the 2000 election between Geo W Bush and alGore. There were long lines snaking outside my local polling place. Democrat fascist thugs misrepresenting themselves as “poll workers” were going up & down the lines asking to see voter reg cards.

    For some odd reason, they were telling registered Republicans they had to get out of line because their cards “weren’t in order.” (sounds Germanically fascist doesnt it? – “Alles in ordnung”) When they got to me I piped up that I couldnt wait to vote for alGore….and they passed me by without demanding to see my voter reg card.

    That entire election fiasco can be laid at the doorstep of the Democrat Party. Hanging chads, disenfranchised military absentee ballots, you name it. There is NOTHING the Democrats won’t do, no crime they won’t commit, to force their anti-American, anti-religious, anti-marriage, anti-family, anti-human agenda upon us.

    I went to Tamarac to vote early today. I felt like a white jellybean amongst the licorice…There was a very severely-dressed (bulky sweater,skirt below the knees) walking up and down the line of voters telling everyone she was ‘here to help’. She got to me and i asked her who she was;she said ‘I’m an attorney and my job is to see that NO VOTER INTIMIDATION TAKES PLACE HERE TODAY!’
    I asked her who she worked FOR and her answer….
    The obama campaign.
    I FELT VERY INTIMIDATED….BY HER!
