Florida - I have been getting giant Mailings EVERY DAY from Mitt
My own Eyes

Posted on 01/23/2012 8:51:26 AM PST by I still care

I normally don't post vanities, but I thought those outside FL would like to know what I am seeing here. I live near the Tampa area in FL, the Golden "I-4" corridor so to speak, which every candidate must win if they are to win any election.

These mailings fill me with dread. How much money does this man have? And what is my mailbox going to look like by November? I'm probably going to have a couple of trees in there!

I have basically seen no signs, which is unusual for FL, though perhaps not this early. FL is riotous with signs usually because it just so important. Last week the Paul people came by, put out a lot of signs and went door to door. Other than that, nothing.

Suddenly last week I started getting huge advertisements in my mailbox EVERY DAY from the Romney people. They basically are on how "Pro Family, Pro Conservative" he is. I now have a stack of FIVE that I have gotten in just the past week. I can't believe it- I've never gotten so much garbage this early in my mailbox from anyone. EVERY SINGLE DAY this past week! Big, Full sized postcard paper sheets.

On my way home from church there are a few houses blanketed with Mitt signs. There is nothing for any other candidate I have seen, except for Paul signs on several corners

I am just saying this as a heads up. This man has a lot of money. I have received and seen nothing for Gingrich or Santorum. I can tell you right now the liberal newspapers are pushing for Romney - the superlib rag The Tampa Times (the recently renamed St Petersberg Times) already came out and endorsed Romney.

How do you feel about having your mailbox spammed?

Report from Florida's Clearwater-Dunedin area ...


Have not received any mailings from any candidate ...

Very few signs ... for anyone, especially along McMullen-Booth (etc) ...

Even my LDS neighbor (a great family) do not have Romney signs ...

Saw a few Santorum signs going to the Courtney Campbell towards Tampa this morning ...

Looking forward to attending tonight's debate at USF ...



GO NEWT !!!

You know, I’m starting to feel sorry for Romney. It sounds to me like he’s been had by his handlers. He’s spending money left and right thinking he can buy his way into the presidency.

I’ve been a registered voter for over 30 years. I never, I repeat NEVER listen more than one nanosecond to Robo calls...FOR ANY CANDIDATE.

I never, I repeat...I NEVER read the crap they stuff in my mailbox soliciting money or the literature to read. I don’t even it open it.

This guy has canned presentations and responses. He’s a good and descent guy. He’s methodical. He might be a great Sec of the Treasury or of Commerce or anything that he can sink his teeth into where his strengths are used to the betterment of this country.

BUT, AND PLEASE ANN COULTER IF YOU’RE LISTENING, Romney is not any more suited to be president than the guy who is in the White House now.

I feel sorry for the man. So much money and waste.

If he loses in Florida, and loses big...I would suggest he hang in there until super Tuesday to debate Newt, but beyond that if he’s still losing, why not coalesce around Newt and the party.

LET’S ALL UNITE TO BEAT OBAMA...!!!!!

One can reasonably assume that Mitt did the same thing in SC, including garnering MSM endorsements, etc.

He is, of course, free to waste his money in any way he sees fit.

FL zip 33523 here:

Plenty of romney mail crap here (4 or 5 now). I see Ron Paul signs, too many for my comfort.

Hmmm - the former St Petersberg Times - that means that Romney is getting the Scientologist vote? Figures.

What we have to do is go to Newt’s on-line site and give a few bucks. More is always better, but even $25 would help.

Both Romney and Paul have already spent a fortune on Florida, which is why you see signs from both of them and from nobody else.

Mitt is a fool’s fool. The world has changed but it hasn’t registered with his ilk. The peasants are a whole lot smarter and informed than they used to be.

Mitt is the John Connolly of this election cycle. No amount of money will make us like him.

“He is, of course, free to waste his money in any way he sees fit.”

This person would like to see ALL of mittwits money flushed cown a big toilet. He(oh, I guess it was his PAC over which he has no control) started negative, slimey, slandering commercials to start with. Is THIS who we want to be running the country?

Have you contributed $$$ to the Republican Party in recent years? If so, those RNC pricks probably gave Romney your address.

Just an idea...Keep them all. Every day take a picture of the ever growing pile. Post that pic on a thread here. It would make great Opposition PR to mock him with.

Another Tampa/Brandon resident here.

Local media, both print and broadcast, seems to be in the tank for Willard. Faux-Romney is running Willard ads every hour.

Looking VERY forward to the debate tonight, even though Faux-Romney seems to be the only network providing coverage.

What happens when you mark them, “Return to Sender,” and put them back in your mailbox?

Back here in New Hampshire, we are enjoying the lack of Willard and RUPaul garbage in our mail!

Mitt will be tough to get rid of, with all his money. He could be counting on getting the votes in California, Pennsylvania and New York,, so that he can get enough delegates to win, even if the party base doesn't want him. Some states have open primaries, and he might be able to pile up some delegates in those places.

I have been complaining for a long time that states that don't have a prayer of voting for the Republican nominee in the general election should have a far reduced say in who the nominee is. Who cares what California thinks, that state will not vote GOP no matter what. A California Republican's vote should be worth 25 percent of a Texas Republican's. And I say that coming from California.

The party wouldn't create such a system, because the RINOs that run the party know it contributes to keeping the establishment in power.
