Orlando and the (I-4?) corridor towards Tampa is the swing area in the state. I would be this is why they are pushing so hard for the rail line. Also there would be govt union jobs for thet money losing rail line.

Obama can forget about anywhere near the Space Coast too. FL’s economy sucks along with the rest of the nation. The only places doing well are where their is shale nat gas development. ND, TX and a few other areas in about 5 states where this is going on.

I think he loses FL and Ohio. PA will be a struggle too but the fraud will be strong all over. Kaisich and Rick Scott should help in both states to hopefully stop a theft of the election in OH and FL. .

"Hmm. What % of Hisanpics are Cuban in FL?

I think about a 1/3. But, whatever the number is, I read recently that the Cuban population as a percentage of Hispanics in FL has been steadily declining in the last decade or more.

I live north of St. Pete’s & I agree. When I send e-mails to Bill Nelson asking questions & wanting answers he just sends a crappy e-mail back with what he is doing or going to do regardless of what the people of Florida wants or needs. At least we got rid of that stupid train he wanted to Orlando. So who would be riding it? No one that I know & we would have end up paying for it. Let’s get the government out of our lives. I heard out west they want to tax toilet paper & our auto mileage. This country has gone to the dogs (sorry dogs) & am getting fed up. Maybe Dec. 21, 2012 will give us hope & change (oops where did I hear that before).

The rail line is a cash cow for the Dem party.

I expect the only friends Hussein will have in Florida in 2012 will be the usual kiss ass tv and newspapers, the “urban” voters and the New York snowbirds. The press has already started ripping Governor Scott...laying the groundwork for their pro Hussein push.

The President can ignore both California and New York and still win comfortably. Now he needs to spend 40% of his time in Florida, another 40% in Ohio and the remaining 20% in Pennyslvania to win reelection.

Anybody and any state who would vote the monster Obaman back again is a sick and evil fool of a man.

[Obama was the first Democratic presidential candidate since Jimmy Carter to win more than 50 percent of the vote in Florida.]

America’s 2 most evil Presidents, Obama being number 1, have the ability to deceive the foolish minds of those who are brainwashed and given to opposing themselves by their evil works.

“sorry I think california and new york are certain for him”

Well, hell, let’s bet 20 bucks and dinner at Globo’s West in San Francisco’s Chinatown.

You take CA and NY for king obuma. I bet no. If you don’t take both, I win.

Deal?

Remember, though, that Carter was ahead of Reagan by 20 points before the 1980 election. Holy-moly, that sure was wrong.

My numbers, right now, tell me that king obuma won’t get even 38% of the national vote, which means he’s in serious trouble in both NY and CA. Upstate NY is polling near 2 to 1 against obuma. And the trend is heading for 4 to 1 against obuma by election day. NY exurbia is trending away from obuma, too, by 3 to 1. Obuma loses NY.

Hey, I could be full of beans and excessive gas. Here’s your chance for a great dinner at Globo’s West. My treat if you’re right.

:-)

The man is Cuban, they were voting for a fellow Latino, if he had gotten 95%, like obamma did the black vote, it would be something to note.

Obama has no chance in a southern border state except CA. He is very little chance in any Atlantic Coast state below MD. Of course the OH,IN, are gone and MI and WI are leaning our way. I do not see any scenario where Obama wins. Let’s face it McCain cannot run again and Obama will have to defend the indefensible lack of sense in his leadership. I want to see everyone that desires to be President run. Competition brings out the best you know.

"The man is Cuban, they were voting for a fellow Latino, if he had gotten 95%, like obamma did the black vote, it would be something to note."

Good point. I mean, John McCain didn't get 31% of the same demographic just two years earlier, and in political demographics, 25-point swings are very common. Wait, what.

Swinging a demographic more than 20-points in-between election cycles isn't amazing, it's unheard of. Obama didn't even swing his own demographic more than 10-points from the results that Kerry achieved four years earlier.

Incidentally, the best any Republican presidential candidate has done in the Latino/Hispanic demo since it has been measured (1972) was 37%, and that was in 1984. When any Republican gets more than 50% of a minority demo, it's remarkable and rarely achieved.
