Numbers add up to 2016 presidential battleground in Florida
Sun Sentinel ^ | January 18, 2015 | Anthony Man

Florida's rapidly changing population mix, deeply divided electorate and rank as the third most populous state in the nation could give Sunshine State voters the clout to decide who will win the presidency in 2016.

As the closest swing state in the country, Florida's 29 electoral votes are a huge prize that represent more than 10 percent of the total needed to win the presidency.

And that means the state's voters can look forward to everything that comes with a sizzling hot presidential election contest: months of wall-to-wall ads on TV; candidates, family members and political friends courting every possible segment of the electorate; and even some traffic jams on Interstate 95 as motorcades rush the candidates to fundraisers and rallies throughout South Florida.

Floriduhhh’s primary date is the Ides of March, and my state’s is two months later in May.
So again, as in 2008 and 2012, we sit by while the Whigs select another stiff for us?
Why, let’s party like it’s 1856 ......

Is it “Winner-takes-all”?

Florida is a winner take all state...and a closed primary. Bush must lose this state in the primary!

If you want to avoid Hillary being elected, make darn sure that ¡Yeb! is not the GOP nominee.

I (and millions of others) will never vote for ¡Yeb! regardless of who his opponenet is.

He’s promising Common-core, Gorebull Warming and most importantly turning the USA into North Mexico.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER

(even if Hillary thanks me)
