'...the types of shifts you see in Florida when something starts to break one way or another'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In yet another traditional presidential 'battleground' state, Mitt Romney has completely turned the race on it's ear: after trailing by a point or two for some time, he now leads his hapless neo-Bolshevik opponent by seven in the Sunshine State, a number beyond the MOE:
The debate prompted 5 % of previously undecided voters and 2 % percent of Obama backers to move to Romney. Another 2 % of Obama supporters said they are now undecided because of the debate.
"There's no question in my mind that debate made people stand up and pay attention, and it really wiped away any questions people had about Romney, whether they were undecided or soft for Obama," said Brad Coker of Mason-Dixon Polling and Research...
"It's a very big shift since the debate, and where the shifts are taking place are very, very interesting: they are the types of shifts you see in Florida when something starts to break one way or another," said Coker, likening it to when Ronald Reagan shot past Jimmy Carter in 1980...
Obama's once 11 point lead among likely independent voters had cascaded into a 13 point lead (Ed: = 24 pt. shift!) for Romney this week, 52 percent to 39 percent.
The bottom line? Obama appears to be in serious trouble in America's biggest battleground state. He has two debates and 25 days to turn it around, but the poll points to a race that had been close and stable for months shifting significantly toward the Republican nominee...

With its large minority and liberal population (not me personally), Romney pulling ahead in Florida is huge. The other swing states should be turning more for Romney soon

>>> "....'SMOOSHED' Like a Bug..." <<<
'SMOOSHED'......love that word. Don't hear it much any more, except from kids.
Kinda like the word "TUMP", unless you're around NATIVE Texans (not transplanted Rust Belt auto workers or West Coast aircraft builders.....but, the real deal). Native Texans don't 'dump' over a can of paint OR 'knock' over a glass of tea ....... they TUMP over the can and TUMP over the glass.
And, that's todays lesson on pronunciation.
Oops...got to run...just tumped over my coffee.

Wow, total contagion in the retirement villages...we won’t be counting chads in Florida this year...and all those grandparents down there are on the phone with their kids in other states telling them what they think about BO

There is one rather brutal sneer that needs to be directed towards black Americans, repeatedly.
“You voted for Barack Obama because of the color of his skin, instead of the content of his character, and he made black America suffer for four years because of that bad decision. Has black America learned its lesson yet?”
