Obama's Florida supporters seek votes in NH

Barack Obama supporters in Southwest Florida are setting up phone banks to help turn out voters in New Hampshire. From an e-mail bearing the Obama '08 logo:

Yesterday I attended a volunteer organizing event in Ft. Myers, and I can tell you that enthusiasm is building for Obama in Southwest Florida! Steve Sherman is building a great team to get out the vote in that area, and we are planning to do the same in Collier County.

In addition, here's something each of us can do from the comfort of our own living rooms: help the National Campaign get out the vote in New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina. All you need is a phone and some enthusiasm and you can get started.

Don't wait another minute!! Join the Obama Phone Bank!

Sincerely,
Sandy Parker

Hahahaha Obama is down 25 in Florida, give it up folks.

Do tell me about these obama supporters. These are the same people who villified Rep. Jim Davis for Governor for two good reasons, the bankruptcy bill AND the vote to reauthorize the Patriot Act. That was what pushed up state Sen. Rod Smith in that 06 race . So these same people now promote Obama with the same record? Obama voted to take my civil liberties away, and has made it very possible for folks in bankruptcy to now lose their homes. This is not progressive, nor compassionate. It is called a relationship that is too close to the banking industry, ala Jim DAvis, and now Obama. His supporters are traitors, in that this time, republican policy is just fine for dems to put out. Obama is a lot of talk, all about change. His supporters are not demanding redinding policy he voted for, that has changed THIS COUNTRY FOREVER! Shame on all of you Obama supporters, who worked against jim Davis for these reasons.

boy are you correct!! and when George Will comes out and says a dem is better in the dem field, look out!

Obama's 'electability" will not be addressed until a choice for change is illiminated! Then the dems will have more of the same with Hillary, or a black man who will never be the president. Truth hurts about racism in our country, but activists ignore the science of this, they must get rid of edwards before they can remind you obama will not be electable. This is all to protect Hillary, and the corporations and repubs and special interests will be happy with Hillary or any repub.

finally!!! someone brings up the truth. Obama sticks us with hillary, in the end. They are ignoring edwards and it is telling when repubs support obama in the editorials! They want him and hillary, so if it HAS to be a dem, they are still served well.

can we get the noisy kids out of politics? REquire a class that addresses the process of illimination?

that's right! Only Edwards can win and bring change.

Bush=Clinton=Clinton=Bush=Bush=Clinton?

or

a black man?

sorry, it will never happen.
I agree that is why he is being pushed. Hillary has had the advantage of the media and it's transparent special interests own her.

And Adam Smith? His article on Edwards still being in the race begins with "he must be delusional".

The set up is easy to see but not for the kids.

Obama=Hillary in the end.

8:55

doesn't matter if Hillary is up 99%, no one gets Florida's delegates!

If she loses NH, bet she'll wish she hadn't signed that pledge!!

2:36 ... are you talking about me? Bring it on baby. However, gotta tell ya, most of the folks I'm meeting supporting Barack Obama - they were never interested in politics before.

I'm ready for a change. Are you? I'm ready to be a UNITED United States of America. Are you? I don't hate my republican family members. Do you?
