I really want to win Florida. It would start to make up for 2000. Will we do it?

[Hamlette]

I don't live there, have nothing to do with the state but I want it in our column. It's 3rd or 4th down on my priority list (first we win presidency, second that we win house and keep the senate, third: win Florida.) Yes, its irrational and emotional but I want it.

What's it looking like? Light blue on the internet but what is your gut feeling?

Do you have a state you really want...that might happen?

1. we did it in 2000.

maybe if we do it again we'll get to keep the white house.

2. While I'm sure you are a fine person...

...I would prefer to see President Obama win Florida.

3. Best part is

Romney can't lose Florida. If he does, he basically loses. And since Florida isn't like many of his other battle ground states, campaigning here hurts him everywhere else. Florida just has to make him work for it. Because if he does, he probably loses it all. And if he doesn't, he probably loses it all.......

4. And Florida is expensive

Our area in particular (South Florida) is beyond expensive. And if you want to reach the eyeballs you have to reach South Florida. The Orlando-Tampa area is the next big area. Again - expensive. All I see are Romney, Crossroads and Restore our Future ads. The President airs them here and there, but not nearly as many as the other 3. He doesn't have to right now, though.
