Palm Beach County has always been mostly Dem, in comparison to the rest of the state - no surprise here.
The over-acrching theme here was a GOP official admitting the type of ground operation that are up against. Florida is not a sure bet for Mittens at this stage.

I agree with you.

The anti Ryan camp (Medicare folks) and the pro Romny (let's build a new navy) crew.
I think that's why they call it a swing state

Polls Give Obama Swing States Boost - ABC News

Obama leads 49 percent to 47 percent in Virginia and had a 48 percent to 47 percent edge in Florida, according to the Quinnipiac University/New York Times/CBS News poll.

And then 2 hours later the machine worked, an elderly woman was there and told her experience of what happened at her poll.

Its kind of scary to hear that votes are in a box somewhere....

Well in an affluent area in Fla 5,000 voters came out to early vote at this one Library. I live in that area and was quite amazed to see the difference between the zeal of why people are voting for whom they are voting.

A good number of Republicans actually believe Obama is a communist. They believe honestly that he is a socialist. They truly feel he is bad for America. They will admit they dont know Romney's agenda, but believe and have faith its better than Obama.

The Obama supporters appear to be passionate and are standing with the President. There is a different energy that comes with when you believe in someone vs disliking your opponent and willing to take anyone in place of the one you dislike.

When there is good energy it is synergistic and that always prevails. It was funny to see blacks and whites talking in code to feel each other out to see who the other was going to vote for. At the end We saw obama supporters taking pics with each other, hugging and saying God bless you. I did the same.

As one elderly white woman said to me and my family in line with her veteran husband both supporting Obama, "hate will never prevail, history will repeat itself again and us uniting to re elect the President, i am proud to be a part of history once again" What a moment...

Regardless of whom you are voting for, know this, every election you have contributed to history itself What a great country. God Bless you, God bless President Obama and the First Family and God Bless the United States of America!!!
If I go by cars with Romney stickers and cars with Obama stickers than Romney will have a land slide!

Frankly, Nita, you've demonstrated that you're not very smart, so I doubt you can even understand the difference.

Finally, I'm embarrassed for you on your insipid justification for Mitt Romney putting his religion above service to his country. An aside from that, you again demonstrate monumental ignorance -- LDS encourages a two-year mission between the ages of 18 and 25. That left plenty of time for a two-year enlistment and a 12- or 13-month tour of Vietnam for young Willard, but he was too gutless to fight for his country despite supporting the war in theory. Mitt Romney was 20 years old when he concluded his two-year mission in France, so don't give me that lying BS that he couldn't serve because he was Mormon. Plenty of Mormons served in Vietnam. Plenty of others didn't support the draft.

ROMNEY REFUSED TO SERVE IN A WAR WHERE HE DEMANDED OTHERS SERVE AND DIE.

Spin that with your partisan BS, Nita, you fawning knee-jerk Romney apologist!
Romney, Clinton and Obama neither served, so what is your point! Some people serve in other ways and I can't think of any when it comes to Obama...not even with the amount he gave to charity which is peanuts compared to Romney!...and don't come back whining that Romney made more money. Obama whenhe made millions on his stupid book, hardly gave a dime to charity only after he announced to run for the presidency!
