African American participation is down a lil bit. That is understandable without Barack Obama on the ballot. However Hispanic participation is up a lot. White participation is down. The challenge is Florida Hispanics do not vote as a bloc. Many Hispanics in FL are Cuban who vote Republican. The rest, mostly Puerto Ricans and Dominicans, vote heavily Democratic. They still should break 2-1 for Hillary.

(21,056 posts)As long as we're not overperforming, and under on election day. But that wouldn't make any sense unless of repeated depression of our vote with planted articles. If negative news continues through Thursday, then someone needs to speak out profoundly.

Romney got 39%... and lost the state. So this is solid news.
