There is a cool breeze in the air, football and political ads fill up television air time. It’s late September during an election year. The baseball diamond is on fire as the race for October heats up. It’s late September during an election year. The Presidential hopefuls are bring out the big guns and stirring up trouble. Proof that it’s late September during an election year.
Here are this weekend’s headlines from the Sunshine State:
The Republican National Committee and McCain mass mailed Republican “Party Affiliation voter registration cards” to Democrats all across the state. The mailer was sent to voters of all ages. Many voters we left felling confused and called local officials to voice their concerns. RNC spokesperson, Amber Wilkerson, said it was a routine fundraiser intended for Republicans much like the ones used previously. "In the event that it was sent to Democrats, we correct our internal file to ensure that that doesn't happen in the future," she says.
Obama’s here!
Obama and his campaign are making up for lost time here in Florida. Since the state party moved up the primary the two major candidates chose not to campaign here. Obama spent a long weekend here telling donors in Miami “I’ll tell you, we can win this thing without Florida, but boy, it’s a lot easier if we win Florida.” He will travel up the coast to Daytona Beach and close the day with a women’s rally in Jacksonville.
The following video is from his Miami Rally:
His rally Saturday night drew 12,000 onlookers and many more looked on from the outskirts of Metropolitan Park.
Initial reports from the St. Petersburg Times The Buzz and the LA Times say that Obama will be making another trip to state midweek in hopes of cramming for his 1st one-on-one debate with McCain at Ole Miss Friday night. Currently, there are no scheduled appearances. Déjà vu? Gore set up camp twice in Florida in 2000 before his debates…
The hottest VP in the hottest State
Palin continues to work wonders in specific demographics for McCain. The Alaskan Governor spent her weekend in Central Florida at the retirement community “The Villages.” Depending on the source you chose to site, attendance ranged from 25,000 to 60,000 on a traditionally warm September afternoon. This was Palin’s first campaign visit to the state and the only public appearance. The Palin Family spent time at “the happiest place on earth” …unless you’ve been there in the summer…
Disney World.
The following video is from her rally in Lady Lake, Fl. Sadly, there are no pics of Trig at the Magic Kingdom.
