One indicator that Florida’s battleground state status continues to grow... the sheer number of political surrogates who have flooded the state over the last week.

Obama has not personally been stirring things up in the Sunshine State everyone from his wife to Jay Z has done it for him. For a more complete list click here.

Michelle Obama and Jill Biden hit the trail headlining a rally at FAMU.

Some Florida election officials spent two days talking to the troops in Afghanistan about voting in the presidential race. MacDill Air Force Base locate in Tampa houses the following headquarters: United States Central Command (USCENTCOM), United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM),United States Special Operations Central Command (USSOCCENT).

The Palm Beach Post reported that “As of Friday, nearly 1.4 million Floridians had requested absentee ballots and 78,666 had returned their votes” the majority of those request came from Republicans.

Lieberman will be back in South Florida attempting to court the Jewish vote on Monday.

Sarah Palin will make her second trip to the state making appearences in Clearwater, Fort Myers, Jacksonville and Pensacola. Excitement is so high in Pensecola it is rumored that the location has been changed from a plane hanger to the civic center.

SNL’s Tina Fey as Sarah Palin was back this weekend. The voters of Florida were spotlighted on the national platform. Fey parodied Gov. Palin’s “love fest with Israel” by saying, “From a very young age my greatest lovers were Jews and Cuban Food.” Need a good laugh?



Bloggers have been commenting all over the place about these clips my favorite has to be “SNL is an equal opportunity destroyer. They mocked both candidates and the moderator with equally devastating effect…Welcome to the Century of the Idiot.”
