Great news from FL for Democrats: Dems outnumbering repukes in early and absentee voting

and this is despite the fact that no delegates count. Looks like Florida dems aren't holding anything against the dems, as so many here predicted. More evidence that Americans want nothing to do with repukes.

In Palm Beach County, Elections Supervisor Arthur Anderson said 47,092 voters cast ballots during the early voting period, with more than 6,000 voting Sunday.

"The heated debate between Barack Obama and Clinton, as well as the fact that the Republican race is up for grabs and highly competitive, has triggered the interest of the voter," Anderson said.

More than 62,000 absentee ballots had already been turned in, Anderson said, with 34,200 coming from Democrats and 19,800 from Republicans. The rest were from independents, unaffiliated or third-party voters.

Did you catch that? 62,000 absentee ballots and 34,200 are for dems. Yeah, it's only Palm Beach County, but it's still great news.

3. As long as she doesn't beat him by 28%

like he did her in SC, I can live with it- and if a lot of dems turn out despite FL's non-delegate standing, I'll be thrilled. If Obama can keep her win to 15% or so, that'd be great.

5. pray away

I'll be praying that Floridians turn out to reject the Clintons like SC voters did. And until 6 weeks ago SC was Clinton country- in case you don't recall. Obama won't win, but he could throw yet another wrench in Madame Entitled's campaign. I certainly hope fervently that he will. She's a walking talking disaster for dems.

7. Florida/ I thought it didn't exist. But agreed - great news! We always outnumbered them

In 2000, 2004 - and I am sure that this time, no matter what, people are still trying to vote - and that to me is the most fantastic news of all.
