Victim? LOL! Some of us were barracudas, outsmarting and outworking the old boys’ network, when Sarah was still in High School.
And the reason my posts bother YOU so much is that you can’t refute them. You can only rant about how everything is great, great, great! Well you can stick your fingers in your ears and recite, “La, la, la, la, everything is peachy” all you want, but adults confront problems, not pretend they don’t exist.
I’m at ground zero for this election, I can see what’s going on, and I see the vast differences between 2004 and now. This ain’t Rove’s operation anymore, and it shows.
I live in Central Florida, along the I-4 corridor, the swing part of Florida that McCain must win. South Florida will go for Obama, North Florida will go for McCain. Whoever wins Central Florida wins Florida and McCain has no path to victory that doesn’t include Florida’s 27 electoral votes. Obama doesn’t need Florida, although he’d like it for bragging rights, but McCain must have Florida, or he will lose.
Obama has enough money to pour into Florida almost half the amount that McCain is getting to fund his entire general election campaign and fully one-quarter of the amount that the RNC and McCain have together, to win a state that he DOESN’T EVEN NEED to win the election. Spin that.
Obama has 56 offices open in this state and 150,000 volunteers while the RNC/Victory office closest to my house STILL isn’t even open full time and isn’t returning phone calls from potential volunteers. Spin that. Tell me how it’s good the McCain campaign isn’t answering the phone for people who want to drive old folks to the polls. Tell me how it’s good they’re just beginning to get geared up even though absentee ballots have been out for weeks and early voting starts Monday.
I know people in the FL Rep party. The race is close here, and could go either way. The ground game will make or break this state, and McCain is still walking out onto the field.
This is what's known as a lie.
Wow, Florida is close and could go either way?!?!? Neato!! Thanks SO much for your keen insight!! I never could have figured that out based on the campaign visits, expenditures, etc.
You're right, if McCain loses FL his quest to the White House takes a major hit. Somehow, I think he and his dumb hick advisors might just understand that without your wisdom and guidance. Oh, if only we had you in charge of the McCain operation in the Sunshine State, then all would truly be well. [cue angel choir]
I’m at ground zero for this election
Since you're so much smarter than the campaign and RNC, since you're there at Ground Zero, since you've been outsmarting the dumb good ol' boys for decades, then quit bitching and FIX THE DAMN PROBLEMS, BARRACUDA!!!
I have worked with people from Florida for nine years on politics and was part of GOTV in 2000 and 2004 for Florida. There are more offices in Tampa/Hillsborough County with the latest phone banks and plenty of people to man them for McCain. Three more then for Bush and they are not having to beg people to man the offices this year. McCain offices all across the State are running short on McCain/Palin signs and have to go back to Ocala printer to get more. Even in S. Florida they are running out of signs.
More signs would be out but Obama supporters are destroying them all over Florida. Happened in my brother’s area who BTW, said all the Cubans he knows in Orlando have been staunch McCain supporters from day one plus retired military that live and work in the area.
South Florida Cubans are livid at Obama ties to Castro since he endorsed him twice and the NY people in Palm Beach who are Jewish for the most part belive Jesse Jackson not Obama.
McCain camp is not sharing internals with local State GOP organizations for the most part because they have big mouths and people will go out and post the results. Better to keep internals quiet then give them to people they cannot trust.
Guess you didn’t hear Fred Thompson in South Florida who talked about the bad polls in Florida. He also talked about how important it was to GOTV for Congressional candidates in FL as we have the ability to flip a few seats.
Doom and gloom seems to be the name of the game on this forum by a lot of people.
I agree with your analysis; Florida’s fate rests in the pivotal I-4 corridor (that has been shifting liberal).
Is Lieberman’s campaigning helping McCain with NY/NJ retirees?
