My conversations with local tradesmen, laborers, shop clerks, other working stiffs here in my Florida niche are surprisingly almost 100% positive for the R & R team.
Yesterday the bakery lady at my Publix evinced muted but genuine panic that Obama would be re-elected with the help of widespread vote fraud. She's also freaked out by the phony polls broadcast every almost every minute down here.
As a long-term student of FR's Institute of Higher Conservative Studies I was able to give her a few fast facts and figures and calm her down before she sliced my loaf of bread and her fingers.
In short, I like what I'm hearing here in Florida. The senior retirees are an iffy group.....too many are selfish, lazy, feel entitled, afraid the GOP will stop their benefits plus so many are totally ignorant of economics and the pitfalls of marxist and socialist ideologies. They go by emotions, fear and/or greed.
However, I'm totally convinced Florida will go Red by a comfortable margin. In fact, I'm convinced it's that way already. The addition of Ryan to the team is an extra delicious hors d' oeuvre.....and Obama is hated almost irrationally by many Floridian folks and business people now feeling the frightening, rapidly-tightening pinch.

Not hating Obama is irrational :)
Very encouraging to hear. The “on the ground” reports are invaluable and we need more of them. Thank you!
