Leaked Florida GOP Memo: "Democratic turnout machine is cleaning our clock"
https://twitter.com/...
Evan Axelbank, a journalist at WPTV in West Palm Beach, Florida, has gotten his hands on a leaked internal GOP memo. Apparently it was deliberately leaked by a "worried GOPer" to motivate the GOP base by showing them that a loss was possible, but it still definitely suggests
concern- as does that motivation!
The memo cites a Democratic lead in early voting "60-22 in PBC, similar to 08. If you add returned Absentee ballots to EV by party, Dems like by 30k in PBC". It also describes the Democratic turnout machine as "cleaning our clock", and warns about the effect on down-ticket races.
I'll post the direct link to the memo as soon as it's up but until then, I wanted to get this up there since I didn't see anyone else discussing it.
A GREAT sign - and along with the last few days of polls, Cook earlier today and Romney's travel schedule tomorrow, shows that Florida is really very gettable for us... and if we win it, everything else is just for show.

(823 posts)Obviously, what we are doing in FLorida is ALREADY working. We are doing what we need to do. We don't need to publicize it and throw in Repubs face now. We need them to be oblivious and slumber while we get the vote out early and strong.

(2,672 posts)"They are cleaning our clock" sounds like they want the dem electorate to relax. Maybe those undecided and dems thinking about not voting will read this and decide not to vote since we're cleaning their clock anyway.

CuriousAboutPolls
(66 posts)Imagine the scrambling by Chuck Todd(MSNBC) and CNN pundits on election night, trying to sell the notion that ALL Romney has to do is win all the remaining swing states and he can still be elected. Todd will be showing us some random county in Pennsylvania with about 12 voters living there and telling us that if Romney carries that he will be elected the next President. And, of course, Dick Morris will be on Fox saying he has a poll going on "right now, at this very moment, that shows Romney winning California and Illinois...and plus there are over 300 votes yet to be counted in Florida and Romney is only down by 6000....so, we cannot be so sure about Florida just yet. Romney can still win in a landslide."
