I have been of the feeling that I don’t think there’s any way Barack Obama can win in Florida. But, this morning I came across a story in the Tampa Tribune that is making me a bit more nervous about the Obama machine: http://www.tampabay.com/news/politics/article615083.ece The story says: “Starting next week, some 400 specially trained Barack […]
