Vote Romney/Ryan
Posted on 11/03/2012 8:04:25 AM PDT by Hojczyk
According to a new poll by the Tampa Bay Times and Miami Herald, we can put Florida firmly into Mitt Romney’s column. With just three days left for campaigning, Romney has a 51/45 lead over Barack Obama in a state Obama won by three in 2008. Romney even takes an edge in foreign policy now over Obama:
The Herald has an interesting analysis, one that confounds the national media narrative. Romney now gets more crossover votes than Obama, contra to the common assumption that independents are proto-Republicans and Romney has trouble with his base:
Romney’s strengths: independent voters and more crossover support from Democrats relative to the Republicans who back Obama, according to the survey conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research.
If Obama hopes that early voting will save him in Florida, he’d better expect change instead. Romney leads respondents who have already voted by a 50/47 margin and leads absentee voters 53/45. Romney also has a six-point lead among those who will vote on Tuesday. Looks like Florida is locked up.

The new FL meme is that Gov. Scott didn’t extend the voting hours and THEY have to stand in line for three hours.
I heard this from a sobbing lib “friend”, sent him this.
”Florida has a law in regard to early voting–this law provides for 96 hours of operation for early voting locations, the exact same amount of hours as 2008. That same law was approved by President Obama’s Department of Justice. The fact is simple as this: more Floridians have cast a ballot as of 5 days out than in 2008. For one side to demand that we break the law because they feel like they are losing is wrong.”
I also mentioned that my mother just voted in FL and she’s been dead for 12 years.
NO reply back.
We voted at a library on Beach Blvd yesterday. Waited 20 minutes or so to vote. At no time did I get a hint how anyone was voting. Folks were polite & respectful towards each other.
I know I voted for Romney. I have no clue how anyone else voted.
Good idea
But Mason Dixon polling stopped polling in Fl because Romney was too far ahead to bother .
But the St Pete Slimes and that Miami rag are huge Dem party front groups and capable of any type of scam !
And today I heard that MSDNC was peddling that Romney had given up on Fl !!
Axelrod is truely in charge of that propaganda outfit !
I voted at the library on Dunn Ave., up north by the airport. But looking around, I might as well have been at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. And somehow I doubt they were standing in line to vote for Romney.
Folks were polite & respectful towards each other.
Same here.
I stood in line for 2.5 hours yesterday to early vote in Palm Beach County. I’ll be an election attorney for Romney on Tuesday and either too busy (or constantly on deck) to vote that day. While in line it was an amazingly polite crowd of Cuban, Haitian and other Carribean ethnicities, mixed with Bostonians, New Yawkahz, folks from Joisey and other retirees. There was very little discussion of political matters, except foe oblique references to some of the referenda questions on the ballot. Considering how old the crowd was, I think it was pretty impressive that, bad knees and all, they put in the effort to wait that long, and were in good spirits, and polite throughout.
Completely impossible to read into that particular experience any particular slant for Romney or Obama. Just that the crowd turned out, for the most part, out of a belief that Tuesday will be swamped, and that 2.5 hours on Friday was better than some longer wait on Tuesday. I’m not sure of the logic on that, because early voting is only conducted in 14 places in the county, as opposed to hundreds of locations on Tuesday. Atomizing the voting traffic should drop average waits quite a bit from 2.5 hours.
The problem in FL so far has been the length of the ballot - there are a large number of referenda questions. The full ballot is 6 pages of larger than legal-sized paper. After the selections for offices have been made, a lot of people are reading for the first time (despite having been sent a sample ballot in the mail) these lengthy and convoluted referenda. That is the bottleneck.
Leni's party this time is going to be a BLAST! Methinks the First lady is going to drive home...

We don't need MORONS like you in the USA, or at FR.
You can get whatever result you want as long as you control the sample composition and the wording of the questions.
Practically every survey model that’s been reported to date ignores the results of the 2010 mid-terms and assumes that turn-out will closely parallel 2008—Won’t happen.
Romney wins comfortably.
He may think he’s god, but I know you’re an idiot.
No way Florida goes to Romney that big.
Boca Raton is COVERED in Romney signs. Even on the Royal Palm Square clock, it has a 15 by 15 sign for Romney. Not to mention numerous ones all around downtown.
I was astonished at the signs.
