I live in Boca Raton and voted at City Hall on Friday. Although City Hall is downtown and most of the retirees live in the west part of town, I can tell you that there was not that usual feeling of overbearing democrat confidence. The lines were long, people were quiet, and I actually heard a college-age woman behind me say to her friend that she doesn’t know how anyone can vote Obama.
I will tell you another thing. The unspeakably insufferable Robert Wexler, the truest Republican hater of them all, has been very quiet. He was active for Obama before O’Reilly blew him out of the water when he revealed that the clown lives in MD and hasn’t had a house here in 10 years. Wexler is the darling of the retired Jewish community here - to have him so quiet in this tight race is unheard of. Giuliani has been in town quite a lot lately and gotten good Pro-McCain press. Lieberman has been here a lot as well and gets mixed response - not all negative, some very attentive audiences. In sum, the retired Jewish vote here is normally a block vote of 80%+. This year, they are conflicted - even the local TV news reports it this way. Any erosion of that block vote is very bad news to Obama.
I am seeing lots of good anti-Obama ads during the Dolphins game, but no Rev. Wright yet.
The Rev Wright ad is running here in Wisconsin.
