Someone from Florida, please throw some light here. Does GOP have a plan for a "big theft"?


http://www.tampabay.com/news/politics/national/article1259531.ece
has Romney up by 6

But NBC-Marist poll has Obama up by 2.

Early voting:
http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/11/whos-really-winning-early-voting/264436/

says actually Mitt has the upper hand.

FLORIDA

Who's leading the early vote: Democrats, 43 percent to 41 percent.

How significant is it: More than 50 percent voted early in 2008.

The spin: Though Democrats are leading the combined early and absentee vote in Florida, they led it in 2008 by a much greater margin. Their current lead of nearly 60,000 votes is far short of the 280,000-vote lead (and 46-37 margin) they carried into Election Day in 2008. (The dropoff could be a result of the shortening of in-person early voting.) Republicans' share of the early vote, 41 percent, is 5 points higher than their share of voter registration, 36 percent, while Democrats' 43 percent of early voters is just 2 points above their 41 percent voter registration share. In a state Obama won by less than 3 points in 2008, where the majority of votes are early and Republicans tend to win Election Day, any falloff should be concerning for Democrats.

Who's really winning: Republicans.


Thank you for throwing some light. Florida is such a corrupt state (thanks to GOP), they give me nightmares. The only place seniors vote for GOP in big numbers!!!!!!!!
