Todays Tampa Tribune Letters to the Editor pretty much sum up the feelings here in Florida. Please take notice of the Republican that was going to vote Democratic this time in the "GOP Losing Its Base" letter.
Obama supporters may not want to waste their time as there aren't many positives about him in the paper down here!

First step, it would probably be a good idea to shut down this scorched earth nonsense message about disenfranchisement.
It is typical republican hypocricy to accuse the democrats of stealing the vote from Floridians.
It is typical of the republicans to make a play for Florida in the Israeli Knesset by making ridiculous accusations that somehow they have not been utterly incompetent at foreign policy.
Florida's republican governor wanted to play games with moving up the primary date, and lectures the democratic party on what its rules should be.
What is amazing is that democrats buy into this republican nonsense.
What we need to do is to point out how a vote for McCain is a vote for the failed policies of the last 8 years that have not resulted in increased security for Israel, but in a strengthening of Iran, and a dramatic escalation in the price of oil that finances extremists in the region.
You know- use rationality, not mindless flag waving themes. Treat Floridians with respect- they can think for themselves. They will respond in kind.
Florida and Michigan should count the votes to legitimize the voices of democracy.
I am also calling on Clinton supporters to help keep the party united and support the winner of the primaries, as Hillary herself will be doing
I suggest we find a way to win the general without FL. If we get it then great, if no then it doesn't matter. (I think the same applies to OH as well as the diebold machines there can be rigged to give the election to McCain.)
So tell me, how does Clinton plan on winning the general election with out FL or OH
What state are you from Reddog? I'd love to hear the plan for your state.
I think we are very close to turning over red states to Obama, especially in the south and eastern sea board.
What about GA? IN? and AZ even?
Gets me real excited just thinking about it.
BTW... I'll be working my butt off to turn Iowa Blue!
Furthermore, in her attempt to say that she is ahead in the popular vote Clinton fails to take into account the WA vote because we used a caucus to allocate our delegates. So, we are even less thrilled about her now.
I don't know if the people in my state will bite off their noses to spite their faces if Clinton is the nominee - but right now it is looking like they will.
It was belittling, but I forgive her.
She is, after all a politician:)
Gads....
This is why, and ONLY why Obama leads in these Caucus states.
We have, for Clinton and not Obama!
We need every vote, and we respect that many Democrats wanted Clinton. But she lost the election fair and square. So, now what, are you going to take your ball and go home because your team didn't win under the rules of the game you were playing?
and to quote a friend
"Every chance she gets ...

she proves she's nothing but class. You may point out she's losing among her own party, but her loss would be nothing compared to the way the Democratic "winner" will be trouEnced in November. Why do we keep reading that anyone who wins the Dem nomination will be president? That might have been true with a universally acceptable candidate like Hillary, but it won't happen with a candidate who's unappealing to half his own party, as well as the conservative WASPS who make up the Republican party.
With truth comes the good and the not so good.

The bigger question is what are democrats saying in Miami?
Also, as I said before FL is a conservative, Repub state. The Repubs control the election apparatus. Do we really believe that the election results from the state are going to be accurate?
They say they will vote for Clinton but not Obama. Large message but nobody is reading it or even gives a crap except 2 million voters that you want to drop!
I think if Richardson is the running mate we have a shot in Texas.
Clinton is at -10%
Is this dream ticket territory?
I do agree that we have had some fiascos here but I think that since changing the ballot system it may be harder to accomplish that. McCain isn't really liked down here!
Clinton trounced McCain if you count the actual votes that occurred. I believe she cold win this state this time around because of the GOPees lack of support right now. Obama don't have that support here.
From the Dog Catcher to the President!
Nice wish but we'll never see it!
Do you actually hold elected office????
Term limits are unconstitutional.
You want to "limit" someones term ???
Get off your AZZ AND VOTE !
TERM LIMITS are called.......ELECTIONS !!
How stupid! Take a basic government class !
They shoud be made unconstitutional officially.
The ONLY reason they have manage to make inroads is because its the only way republicans had any chance of competing in a race.
If you recall it was the republicans that imposed the term limit on the Presidency after FDR.
They remain unconstitutional by virtue of the constitution, regardless if the "law" has been allowed to stand because the courts have never heard the case.
