We will win Florida - New poll shows we are kicking ass in Miami-Dade

The Herald poll shows Sen. John Kerry winning Miami-Dade County with 54.3 percent of the vote to 41.5 for Bush. Four percent are undecided. Splitting those undecided voters down the middle, Kerry goes to 56 percent, Bush to 43 and Ralph Nader will end up with less than 1 percent.

If Kerry wins Miami-Dade County 56 to 43, then the likelihood of him winning Florida is very high. Here's why: In 2000, Al Gore beat Bush by almost 40,000 votes in Miami-Dade County.

According to the Herald poll, done by Zogby International, Kerry is positioned to win Miami-Dade by anywhere from 90,000 to 100,000 votes. A margin that large in Florida's most populous county would be hard for Bush to make up across the rest of the state.

7. Timeout; You're overlooking one thing

No, I'm not talking about Diebold. The cynics will jump in below on that one.

Florida had 5.9 million votes in 2000. With new registers up more than 1 million statewide, a net +50,000 in regard to 2000 is terrific but not impossible for Bush to overcome. We need huge numbers out of all 3 strongholds -- Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.
