Charlie Crist's top aide says Obama will lose Florida (but win the White House)
Sarasota Herald Tribune ^ | 11/3/2008 | Joe Follick

Posted on 11/03/2008 8:21:41 PM PST by jerry557

George LeMieux, Gov. Charlie Crist's former chief of staff who the governor dubbed "the maestro" for leading his 2006 campaign, released his election picks this morning.

He said Obama will win the White House, but not Florida: "McCain should carry Florida in a nail bitter, but Obama will carry the nation winning: Colorado, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Wisconsin. Missouri, Virginia, and Ohio are too close to call. Even if McCain wins all three, he will fall short. Bonus Prediction: Electoral Vote Count: Obama 322; McCain 216."

LeMieux predicts the following U.S. House incumbents will win tight races: Ric Keller, Vern Buchanan, and Lincoln Diaz-Balart, He said three incumbents will lose: Tom Feeney, Tim Mahoney and Mario Diaz-Balart.

He's right about FL but he's wrong about Obama winning the election.

It seems to me that Charlie Crist's aide may well have useful knowledge regarding the state of Florida but ***not*** regarding any other state.So the bottom line is that someone who could be in a position to know is saying that McCain will win Florida.

This is good news!

“I have some critical football games i need to wager on.”

No need, he sells the chicken entrails on ebay for predictions like that.

This reminds me of arguments I used to have with my program manager. She wanted to determine estimates of success for the project by polling all the members asking them to assess the entire project. I, on the other hand, believed that this was nonsense. I wanted to poll each member giving asking them to guess on the success on their roll in the project. My reasoning was that each member was likely to have a good sense of whether they, personally, would succeed, but they would tend to be pessimistic about the other areas of the project.

Going down this line of reasoning. We would have to assume that Crist’s deputy may have a good sense of what is occurring in Florida. However, his guesses of what will occur outside his own state are probably no better than you or I guessing.

You guys are all taking this the wrong way; LiMieux is 100% right.

No need for Democrats to show up and vote, it’s a lock to the skies.

I repeat: no need for Democrats to show up tomorrow.
