Ooooh, Florida GOP in a top-secret, double-naught meeting as Obama passes McCain!

[Bluebear]

TALLAHASSEE — Florida Republican leaders hastily convened a top secret meeting this week to grapple with Sen. John McCain's sagging performance in this must-win state.

Their fears were confirmed Wednesday when four new polls showed Sen. Barack Obama leading, a reversal from just a few weeks ago when McCain was opening up an advantage.

The polls come amid a cascade of bad news about the economy, an issue that McCain has struggled with in recent days.

With some grass roots organizers complaining about coordination problems with the campaign, Republican Party chairman Jim Greer gathered top officials at the state headquarters in Tallahassee on Tuesday afternoon. He swore the group to secrecy.

1. Big Dog should keep his campaigning focused there

It's what he does best, he brings back fuzzy memories of a thriving economies, and southerners love one of their own.

2. I agree. Both Hillary and Bill should stay in Florida and campaign there for Obama.

The Clinton duo could deliver Florida to Obama.

3. I disa_ree. They should rotate between FL, PA, MI, and NC

Especially PA

6. Biden's bringing in PA, and McCain has given up MI.

So that leaves NC and FL. The Clintons can win FL for Obama.

8. That's what I think, and if we get FLA, we get POTUS n/t

7. O seems to have Michigan -

In fact, news today is that McCain's given up campaigning there to concentrate elsewhere. PA seems to be leaning to O, and NC (and VA) I wouldn't spend as much time on relative to their electoral votes.

Of course, there is a month left, and Bill loves to get around...

11. Obama's Michigan lead is 13 percentage points in a Detroit Free Press poll.....

McCain has folded his tent and left the state.

5. Someone put a tail on Jethro and Harris. n/t

9. Paging Katherine Harris......

10. Time to start plotting their vote-stealing strategy in earnest.

They're going to need to steal more than they thought.

12. If they were sworn to secrecy then

what they are planning is illegal...this is what is likely behind the anti-union bit going on at Publix's stores and Wal-Marts...

13. Yep. They're beefing up the ads here in central Florida.

A bunch of these laughter-eliciting promo spots aired during the evening news tonight. It's so reassuring to learn that McCain/Palin will keep America safe. :rofl:
