Florida may be falling from Obama's grasp

Barack Obama could be on the verge of falling out of contention in Florida.

Despite spending an estimated $8-million on campaign ads in America's biggest battleground state and putting in place the largest Democratic campaign organization ever in Florida, Obama has lost ground over the summer. Florida has moved from a toss-up state to one that clearly leans toward John McCain, fueling speculation about how much longer the Democratic nominee will continue investing so heavily in the state.

It’s things like that that drive the libs into a hysterical rage. I love it when it happens.

Do you think the fact that he made fun of the McCain by saying he's old and out of touch might have had some influence on Obama's fall from Grace in Florida?

Not only did he insult McCain for his war injuries, but he insulted every man and woman in America who is over the age of 60.

If Obama keeps making anti-aged person cracks/ads he will STAY in trouble.

...’course in FL a middle name of Hussein may not help so much.

I hope so. Barack Obama is a bungler of the first order with no Leadership ability. I think is taken to a large shopping center somewhere he couldn’t organize a shopping expidition. Somehow I think Palin may have been shopping once or twice. She would be at home with Regular Americans at a Walmart store. I believe Obama might think he was on a Distant Planet.

They’re not dumb. They’ll run a lot of ads on Miami stations showing him at his greatest triumph, his speech in front of thousands of excited Germans.

Gosh, if they were smart they would do that. They are the “smart ones” after all.

For some reason I never really worried about FL going to Obama. Hillary, yes, but not Obama. It’s PA and OH that worry me, and frankly, VA.

I just don’t believe your polls!!! Most of the people I know, see, or talk to are Obama supporters. There is something basically wrong with the way they conduct the polls.”

Lol. Moonbats only talk to other moonbats. Conservatives see you coming and cross to the other side of the street.

I agree with “Go McCain/Palin” but not “Go Gators!”

I say “Go Cocks!”

I’m not sure if McCain is really ahead here. Certainly not in Orlando.
