33. Rick Scott is a major ass hole. There is simply no other way to put it

Nov 2012

Considering it was so close last time, I think with all the lines people are forced to wait, the intimidation, suppression, and every other tactic, we won't take it. As it is, weren't the polls extended in '08 by Christ? We can't expect any sort of cooperation from Scott this time.

So while I believe if a fair and competent election were to take place in FL, Obama would win by a small margin (~2 points), he likewise loses due to the incessant corruption in the state.

I'm hoping it won't be necessary. VA and CO are looking encouraging. OH is looking good, but Kasich and Husted will make voting as difficult as possible there. And there is some understandable skepticism over those electronic voting machines...
