Does Anybody Really Believe President Obama Is Outpolling Bill Nelson In Florida ?

I have been watching Florida races since 1976 and the Democratic nominee for president has never won a larger percentage of the vote for president than the Democratic candidate for senator or governor.


Another misdirection from our favorite (sic) pollster.

1. Bill Nelson isn't a Florida favorite, he's the one on the ticket.

Many Floridians are voting for President Obama, though. I'm not sure about the polls.

2. He Won His Last Senate Race By Thirty Points

He will easily outperform the president. Statewide Democratic candidates always do in good years or bad years.


BTW, here's a link to all the FL senate polls:

8. The trees are nice, but the weather is shit...

...unless your preferred climate is "tropical swamp." I've still got friends and family there, though. Nice place to visit.

10. A bunch has been developed since then, but there are still plenty of trees.

Most of the jobs available there are still with the state, and Rick Scott has made that situation untenable. State workers in Florida are the lowest paid in the United States and haven't received raises in over five years, though the cost of living and of health insurance have increased and benefits are cut annually. The work atmosphere with the state is paranoid and toxic, as the fanatically right-wing state Congress seeks constantly to deregulate and eliminate programs and positions, and many of the workers have pre-existing medical conditions, so they feel unable to leave the jobs they hate.

I'm glad to be gone from there.

4. Karl Rove and his Crossroads liars have had a lot of anti-Nelson ads on TV.

They want to win Florida so bad they can taste it.
Their lying propaganda seems non stop.
