Romney Campaign Apparently Confident They'll Win Florida

"Florida's baked," a top Romney advisor tells Toby Harden of The Daily Mail, meaning the campaign seems pretty confidant they'll prevail.


Sure, Democrats have a small but significant advantage over Republicans in votes already cast through early voting and absentee ballots, but Harden reports that after only Indiana and North Carolina, Romney insiders are the most confidant of winning Florida than all the other swing states. Even more confidant than in Virginia.

This morning on MSNBC, Vice President Joe Biden meanwhile seemed less than confidant of his ticket's chances in Florida. While predicting wins in other swing states, Biden only gave Obama an "even chance" of winning Florida.

We'll find out tomorrow!!!!

1. fine but it isn't enough.

I think Obama will get all the rest of the close states.

2. With the Romney campaign...

It's ALL about the "apparently." ALL.

[geek tragedy]

3. Romney's team lies to everyone. They claim they have Virginia in the bag, that

they're ahead in Iowa and Wisconsin and Ohio, and that they're on the way to 300+ EVs.

Liars, liars, liars, anyone who works for Willard.

4. Of course he is going to say that

He does not want to say that FL is a coin flip and Romney is behind in CO, VA, OH, WI, IA, NH, PA, and NV.

5. baked is rethug speak for stolen

[dchill]

12. Baked - "Apparently" a synonym for...

Fried, cooked, stewed and SKEWered.

[flamingdem]

14. Yes! That's much better

[blue-kite]

24. Isn't that a drug-taking word?

[barnabas63]

6. "Baked?" Yeah you're "baked" alright...

more BS from the Romney camp.

[fugop]

7. Voter suppression for the win, Alex!

[yourout]

8. What he didn't say was "Thanks to Gov Scott we have been able to disenfranchise and....

discourage enough Florida votes to...."

[Jennicut]

9. Eh, they can have FL and NC and still lose.

FL is not that important this year. It would be nice. VA seems better for Obama but has no early voting.

[dchill]

10. And, apparently, this miaminewtimes bloggerhead...

Can't spell "confident." I mean, you know, apparently.

Gag.

11. Thank you captain obvious!

"Harden reports that after only Indiana and North Carolina, Romney insiders are the most confidant of winning Florida than all the other swing states. Even more confidant than in Virginia. "

Uhm... no duh Mr Harden.

13. Romney has a "really good feeling" about Mississippi and Oklahoma

They haven't campaigned in Indiana at all. Bill Clinton made one stop here about 6 weeks ago.

[Azathoth]

15. Anyone (from either side) who thinks Florida is in the bag is either stupid or desperate

And I say that from a purely non-partisan point of view. Florida is an electoral Rube Goldberg machine. Even Nate Silver's model can't figure it out.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

16. Well, Rick the Alien rigged it for them

Florida is lost, but they only have themselves to blame for electing a fucking crook.

[hopeforthebest]

23. I believe scott's election was rigged.

That guy is Satan spawn. Sink should have totally won. Moneybags used his millions form medicare fraud to turn the tide in his favor. Good thing everyone here hates his snakey @$$.

[outsideworld]

17. we will see about that

[yellowcanine]

18. Only after Indiana and North Carolina.....

Well North Carolina is hardly "baked" for Romney. It leans Romney but that is not the same. A strong Obama ground campaign could still win NC for Obama and that is even more true in FL. As for Virginia, that does appear to be "baked" - for Obama.

[scheming daemons]

19. If it were "baked", Romney wouldn't have been there this morning.

[progressivebydesign]

20. I think "toast" is a better term for it. And what do u expect a Romney advisor to say? Lol

What is this blog you've referenced?? "Biden meanwhile seemed less than confident" This sounds like RW blog??

[mark eagledove]

21. yep Romney bought it

Just drove to Tampa and back from middle Georgia and Romney signs outnumber Obama at least 100:1. Anti-Obama billboards all the way there and back. Its just horrible what has happened to my state and how big $ rules. What gets me is, I was seeing Romney stickers and 300/month retirement communities! Florida has been nearly ruined by Republicans.

[hopeforthebest]

22. Saw so many people out today with "fire Obama" signs near Ponte Vedra Beach

Also saw a new website: obamavsgod.com

These fundies are ridiculous.

Agree with other Floridans here about the Romney signs as well.

A little more than half the state has a penchant for electing idiots, it seems.
