| Back on Sept. 23, the Mason Dixon polling firm saw Florida as “very much a toss-up” and “very much a turnout game,” as they described things to the Tampa Bay Times. It was a virtual tie at 48-47 between Obama and Romney, with libertarian Gary Johnson sitting on 1 percent. But now Mason Dixon is pulling out of the Sunshine State, explaining to the Tampa Bay Times that “Mitt Romney has pretty much nailed down Florida.” Hopefully the “binders full of women” crowd won’t think that means Romney is running around the state and nailing people to palm trees. The key Florida polling real

Perhaps Floridians can redeem themselves after the debacle of 2000.
And on a larger issue, it may be the end of the 'third rail' stuff about medicare, and congress and president Romney can save the program.

Florida is often considered a microcosm of the entire country. It is a state with every conceivable constituency, and if it goes big for Romney, it means the Romney/Ryan families will have a very happy night next Tuesday. So will America!

I'm on vacation in the panhandle and I have seen only one Obama sign in these parts. You wouldn't think this sleepy island community would be politically active, but there's hundreds of Romney/Ryan sign everywhere you look. The Obama sign was hand-made and read:
Stolen Sign

Too bad if Floridians cannot dislodge Nelson at the same time they help rid our nation of this left-wing administration. Perhaps Nelson can pledge to not support Harry Reid and even switch party if needed to get rid of Obamacare. But right now it appears that Nelson and Reid are BFFs.

I have little doubt Romney will carry the state, just looking around here in central Florida -- provided Palm Beach and Miami don't hand re-mark another 30 thousand "misprinted" ballots (grrrrrr).
What I can't fathom is why anyone would vote Romney and still vote for Nelson. He is a worthless senator who has utterly failed this state and ANY change would be an improvement. If he wins, it will be an absolute testament as to why we DESPERATELY need senate term limits to get rid of entrenched corruptocrats.

This isn't really news--Florida has looked sewn-up for Romney-Ryan for almost a month. Yet the electoral college maps still keep showing Florida as a "toss-up" state. It may not be firmly hard-red Romney, but Florida is surely a "leaning Romney" state by now, if we can believe the Gallup/Rasmussen polls. The other polls are all nonsense anyhow--everywhere.

I hope Romney-Ryan gets elected since I want a President Romney to select the next two US Justices for the US Supreme Court...Justices likely to be moderate to slightly conservative...a good thing !

SEOUL - North Korea reiterated on Saturday that it would not give up its nuclear weapons, rejecting a U.S. condition for talks although it said it was willing to discuss disarmament. North Korea, in a sign of a possible end to weeks of heightened hostility on the Korean peninsula, offered the United States and South Korea a list of conditions on Thursday for talks, including the lifting of U.N. sanctions. But the United States said it was awaiting "clear signals" that North Korea would halt its nuclear weapons activities. The U.S. should not think about the denuclearization

LONDON — Russian commentators are speculating that a Chechen connection in the Boston Marathon bombings will force the United States to reassess its view of the Kremlin’s actions in the troubled Caucasus region. After the capture on Friday night of Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, the second suspect in Monday’s attack, following the death of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, his brother, in a gun battle with police, U.S. authorities have yet to establish a motive for the crime. In Russia, as in the United States, attention focused on whether the bombings were connected with the politics of Chechnya, where the brothers’ family originated.

The Boston Marathon bombing suspect captured Friday night will not be immediately read his Miranda rights, a Justice Department official said. The announcement came as a debate broke out among lawmakers, lawyers and political activists over whether the suspect, Dzhokar Tsarnaev, should be prosecuted in a civilian criminal court or subjected to military interrogation and over when and whether Tsarnaev should be told about his right to an attorney. (Snip) The Obama administration appeared to be taking a middle course, holding off on advising Tsarnaev of his rights, but still directing him into the criminal justice system for prosecution.

Moscow - The main suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing are said to be two brothers from Chechnya, a mountainous and mainly Muslim republic in southern Russia that has been the scene of cyclical revolts and brutal crackdowns by Moscow´s forces for the past 200 years. Though Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev have spent most of their lives outside of Chechnya, their postings on YouTube and the Russian-language VKontakte social media site illustrate a proud attachment to their ancestral homeland and offer many hints that both identified closely with Chechnya´s defiant and fiercely independent mountain warrior traditions. Where is Chechnya?

Watertown, Massachusetts -- First there was a burst of gunfire. Then a series of blasts. Then, less than an hour later, cheers. After nearly 24 hours of a massive manhunt for one Boston Marathon bombing suspect that terrorized several cities and riveted a nation, the shouting and applause on the streets of Watertown, Massachusetts, was a welcome sign of victory. Police shouted, "Yay!" Neighbors clapped. "Is that him?" someone asked as an official in a law enforcement vehicle drove by the crowd.

MAKHACHKALA, Russia - A man who identified himself as the father of two brothers suspected of carrying out the Boston Marathon bombings said on Friday he believed his sons had been framed and pleaded with police to spare his younger son who was still on the run. U.S. police said they killed Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, and were conducting a massive search for his brother and suspected accomplice, Dzhokhar, 19, on Friday after the bombings killed three people and wounded 176. Both ethnic Chechens, the brothers lived in Russia´s volatile Dagestan region, which borders Chechnya, more than a decade

Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev posted links to Islamic websites and others calling for Chechen independence on what appears to be his page on a Russian language social networking site. Abusive comments in Russian and English were flooding onto Tsarnaev´s page on VK, a Russian-language social media site, on Friday after he was identified as a suspect in the bombing of the Boston marathon. Police launched a massive manhunt for Tsarnaev, 19, after killing his older brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev in a shootout overnight. On the site, the younger Tsarnaev identifies himself as a 2011 graduate of Cambridge Rindge

MOSCOW — Chechnya, the Russian republic believed to be connected to the two Boston Marathon bombing suspects, has been the scene of terrorism and related violence since the 1991 break-up of the Soviet Union. Militants from Chechnya and other restive regions in Russia´s volatile North Caucasus have targeted Moscow and other areas with bombings and hostage-takings for more than 20 years. The allegations of ties to Monday´s Boston bombings are the first connection of terror attacks in the United States. Predominantly Muslim, Chechnya declared independence from Russia in November 1991.

King told his colleague Wolf Blitzer that a law enforcement source had given him one bit of physical description: The suspect was “dark skinned.” “A physical description was given to me of the suspect, Wolf. I want to be very careful here because this is very sensitive information, but the description given to me is a dark-skinned individual,” King said, according to the Daily Caller. “And I want to just stop there.

WASHINGTON - The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits rose last week and factory activity in the nation´s Mid-Atlantic region cooled in April, further signs of a moderation in economic growth. The softening growth outlook was also underscored by another report on Thursday showing a gauge of future economic activity fell in March for the first time in seven months. They were the latest data to indicate a step-back in the economy after a brisk start to the year as tighter fiscal policy began to weigh. "The evidence is mounting that the economy lost momentum

Americans as a people "refuse to be terrorized," President Obama assured Tuesday, one day after twin bombs at the Boston Marathon left three of them dead and more than 100 others seriously wounded. On Thursday morning he arrives in Boston for an interfaith vigil honoring the victims of an attack being termed an act of "terror" but about which otherwise little is yet understood. (Snip) Now, anew in his second term, the president stands on a stage set that begs that tried-and-true consoler costume, but offers a script yet unknown to him: No defined suspects, no cut-and-dried crime scene

BISMARCK — North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp says she could not support a measure to tighten restrictions on the sale of guns because it would have placed undue burdens on law-abiding people. A measure to expand background checks for the sale of guns failed in the Senate. Heitkamp was one of five Democrats who voted against it. In a statement, Heitkamp says she has thought a lot about the background-check measure and heard from North Dakotans. She says she voted to protect Second Amendment rights.

So once again, no good deed goes unpunished. Uncle Sam lets another bunch of leeching future terrorists into the country who have absolutely no business being here, gives them “asylum,” making them immediately eligible for welfare, and this is the thanks we get? They turn into mass murderers. We bring in thousands of Muslims from a primitive society that has been battling Christians for centuries, and put them into a peaceful Christian society — what could possible go wrong? This is what I was thinking about yesterday, with much of the city under what amounted to martial law.

They appear to be from Turkey, possibly Chechens from Turkey. That seems to be the nationality here. We´re told they were not students, in their early twenties. One 20, one 21.

We are still speculating about virtually everything right now, but I feel as though I need to explain why I find the quick and easy conversation about Muslims being radicalized in America to be so illogical and laced with bigotry. Of course, there is a global violent jihadist movement, loosely organized, that wants to recruit young men to influence policies at home and abroad and perhaps usher in the global caliphate. That ideology motivates some Muslims to kill innocent people.But you´re allowed to be a radical Muslim in America.

Any inquiry into the marathon bombing will look into whether agents could have taken action – but didn’t – to prevent the Tsarnaev brothers from obtaining the explosives that killed 3 and wounded 173 others. CBS News reported Friday evening that two years ago, the FBI interviewed the elder brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, who was killed in Thursday night´s dramatic shootout.
