CNN/TIme FL Poll: Obama 48, McCain 44, when 3rd Party Candidates are added

[MadBadger]

Without, its a 48-48 tie. From Wolf's Lips To my ears.

1. Now that's terrific. I'm thinking that Florida may be the sleeper this year

I didn't think Obama had a chance there especially after all the primary controversy, but the polls have been competitive in Florida for quite some time.

[MadBadger]

3. Plouffe said we were going to spend 39 million in Florida.

[speedoo]

2. If Obama wins Florida, it's over.

No way McCain gets to 270 without Florida.

[Marsala]

7. He'd need Michigan, the other Great Lakes states

and/or Pennsylvania. Which is obviously not happening if Florida is this close, anyway.

[Mojambo]

4. It'll be a very early night if Obama takes Florida

But I don't for a minute expect him to despite what the polls show.

That state is corrupt beyond redemption, imo.

5. Which 3rd party people were included?

[MadBadger]

8. Barr, Nader, and Mckinney

[maseman]

6. Black, Hispanic and Jewish

Could put Florida in play. Northern Florida white rednecks obviously will not.

[SuperTrouper]

9. Dade and Broward County will go Obama BIG

also expect Palm Beach County for Obama as well as the Interstate 4 region including Orlando to Tampa Bay, all Obama territory. If he builds up a big lead there then it is lights out for McBonzo and Failin.

11. If Dade goes better than it did for Kerry, we'll take it.

Kerry only got around 54% in 2004, in a county where White Non-Hispanics are only 18% of the population. If we can get the younger Cuban-Americans on board, we'll break 60% easily.

And Dade/Broward/Palm Beach represents over 5 million people, out of a state population of 18m. A good showing in Orlando and St Pete should seal the deal.

12. Young Cubans are going for Obama, they've thrown Ileana Ros

and Lincoln Diaz Balart to the curb.

13. God, I can't stand her...

She's been my rep. for way too long. I SO hope Annette Taddeo pulls this off...

[Tribetime]

10. Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Iowa, Michigan, Pennsylvania and dare I say

Indiana.
