PPD/Emerson has Trump +1 in FL . . . but talk about screwy! He is at 18% with blacks and 35% with Hispanics! Sorry, unless you are polling lesbian academics, this is at minimum a 5-point poll and game over. They also have a tie in NV (Team Trump is confident they are up in NV). Emerson has Cankles leading AZ, even though Trump is getting 40% of the Hispanics there? Not a chance in hell. Trump will win AZ comfortably 7-10 points. Interesting info out of Montgomery Co. OH: in 2012 absentees looked like this: R 7,400 D 3,179...

Hurricane Matthew is big, bad and just downright scary, and we await the long anticipated sharp turn northward. Jamaica is completing final storm preparations. All interests in the Eastern U.S. and Bahamas should be carefully watching the track of Mighty Matthew. Ripped straight from the NHC Discussion page: Matthew remains south of a low-to mid-level ridge over the western Atlantic. The dynamical models forecast this ridge to weaken over the next 72 hours as a mid- to upper-level trough develops over the Gulf of Mexico. This evolution should cause Matthew to turn northwestward after 24 hours and northward by 48-72...

Florida is on pace to set a new record for voting by mail in 2016, as nearly one of every four voters will make their choices at home, weeks before election day. As Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton duel in a handful of states and plan for two more TV debates, Floridians are voting in numbers never before seen in a statewide election.

One backhand blow. One death. Seven years in prison. That’s the punishment for Roger Perry, the drifter who fatally decked Miami Beach’s Mohammed Hussein, a crime that was caught on video and that shocked South Florida. Back in December, Perry was standing in line at the M&L Food Market, 7446 Collins Ave., when Hussein approached him to tell him that he was in the wrong checkout lane. They exchanged some heated words and Perry backhanded Hussein, 58. Hussein, a father of two, fell to the ground and hit his head, causing severe brain trauma. Hussein was rushed to Ryder Trauma...

It’s time for Hillary Clinton to start worrying about her Florida campaign.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine stressed the importance of Hispanic voters and fair immigration policies in Orlando on Monday, part of a multi-day campaign swing through Florida. The Virginia senator appeared at a roundtable discussion with Latino religious leaders at the Hispanic evangelical church...where he said the U.S. should not be a "deportation nation." "We should be a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws," Kaine said. "Our focus shouldn't be on deportation en masse, it should be on people who pose serious safety challenges." Kaine was introduced by Claudia Contreras, a 23-year-old undocumented immigrant... Contreras is one...

I saw something VERY suspicious about an hour ago when I was exiting the El Presidente Supermarket at the SE corner of University and Commercial Blvd in Lauderhill FL. As soon as I left with my shopping cart, I spotted a guy attempting to register voters. What caught my attention was the familar H with the arrow on the bottom of his clipboard. So I made like I wanted to register and then quickly flipped his clipboard over and took the first photo you see below. I then said to the guy that it was a Hillary symbol and his...
