4. I knew it was going blue when I saw the sheer numbers of young AA voters turning out
in my Broward precinct today; I was there for all 12 hrs today and it was unbelievable. Anecdotal not empirical observation, but still--awesome!

17. Did Duval go blue?
Please tell me that it did.

I love Jacksonville as a city--it would great to see it turn blue.

31. that is so cool
Pasco went from -10 to -3. At first that depressed me, but tightening like that all over the state is what gave it to Obama.

20. Thank you. I spent so much of my early years in Florida
and for it to have been the source of such pain in the last two election has been sad.

You took Florida back. Thank you.:cry:

25. well, now you can...
actually, I was proud of Crist when he extended early voting - he did what was right for the citizens of Florida, not what was right for his party.
