Orlando voters only...let's vote! (Davie, Meadow Woods: house, unemployment rate, college)

[g0gat0rs]

Who will you vote for and why?

In before the mass ignorance and regurgitated rhetoric...

If I didn't live in the battleground area (central FL) of the battleground state with the largest number of electoral votes, I'd really like to vote for Gary Johnson. I may end up going with Romney just because I think it's that important that we get a pro-growth, pro-jobs, pro-business president into the oval office ASAP and the election of 2000 shows you how important our votes can be

I would hope that Orlando voters are wise enough to vote for Obama because he is a long-term planner. Romney is a short-term planner, not to mention, full of lies, deception and corruption. Not to mention, the unemployment rate is dropping slowly but surely. Why change course now? And before anyone says that the unemployment rate is baloney, I don't want to hear it, especially because Romney repeatedly uses the official unemployment rate as a benchmark for his own plans and proposals. The only thing hindering economic growth right now is House Republicans who blocked EVERYTHING proposed by Obama. What do you expect?!

Obama is the great divider. Everything he proposes has been blocked because he is a terrible leader.

It did say Orlando voters only didn't it?

I'm voting for Mitt Romney because he is a pro-growth kind of guy and I don't think he is going to try and spend his way out of our problems if he gets elected. He does not want to create a socialist, entitlement nanny state like Obama is trying to do now. As far as entitlements go, I have no problem with anybody using them because they are down on their luck and genuinely need them, but I do have a problem with people like Obama who make the benefits SO generous that it gives people no incentive to work harder and give themselves a better life

I'm not surprised though that somebody from my homestate of Connecticut is voting for Obama. My family is from Litchfield County (New Milford) which usually is the only one of Connecticut's 8 counties that votes Republican. I see tourists from Connecticut all the time coming down here on vacations, wallets full of $50s and $100s, i phones, jewelry and paying for their groceries with food stamps

I think we could have repeat of the 2000 election here when it comes down to Florida and the Orlando area in particular. It won't surprise me if this city decides the election again. It boils down to one particular area of the city too, far South Orlando where I live. Puerto Ricans are usually the biggest swing voters, and living in an area that is over 50% Puerto Rican it could come down to the voting precincts in Hunters Creek, Southchase, Meadow Woods and Buenaventura Lakes

This election is going to be very interesting

I would also vote for Gary if I lived in a solid red or blue state, but in this purple mess of Florida I think I might follow your lead and vote for the (more) limited government candidate who stands for the kind of America I want to live in.

Wish that were true, I think it is veeeery likely that Romney will win the popular vote and Obama will win the electoral college, no thanks to Ohio buuut we'll see...
