According to ABC only 11% of the precincts in Florida have reported results.

Miami-Dade started reporting, that’s all. Not a big deal with the rest of the state still voting. Not worried at all about FL, it will go McCain by 6.

The early votes come out of the greater Miami area. Polls close later in the Florida panhandle which is in the Cenral Time Zone. In 2000 the media called the state for Gore, effectively suppressing potential voters in the more conservative panhandle. Still, Bush won a squeaker. You may recall that the Democrats insisted on recounting only the predominantly Democrat areas. As Willie Sutton said, “That’s where the money is.” As Yogi Beer said, It ain’t over until it’s over.” Don’t go to bed too early.

It doesn’t make sense. And only 10% of the voting is in so far. Got a long ways to go

I for one, am hopeful that the good people of Florida realize that Barack Obama is just a Lawyer - not a Leader.

Monroe County 52-47% Obama so far.....not a bad split. Miami-Dade 60-40% Obama, about expected. McCain needs good numbers in Polk, Osceola, etc.

Western Florida’s polls haven’t closed yet, on different time zone. Same thing happened in 2000.

Exactly. It's a raw attempt at voter suppression.

Why? because votes haven’t been counted yet. Exit polls, and reporters canvasing democrats from Acorn lists are meaningless garbage

THESE NUMBERS ARE THE EARLY VOTES GUYS.

RELAX.

Lincoln Diaz balart (R) Ross Lehtinin (R) are both congress critters from DADE and they have both won by 10 points each.

mario Diaz Balart (R) in Dade is running tight.

This is meaningless without the inclusion of heavy GOP dominated north Florida where polls JUST closed.
