Tampa Bay GOP leaders have confidence in McCain

Amid all the hand-wringing about the John McCain campaign in Florida and across the country -- and recent polls showing Barack Obama leading McCain in the critical battleground of the Tampa Bay area -- GOP chairs in the bay area remain confident.

"In our Republican stronghold areas here in Hillsborough the enthusiasm actually, I think, is greater than four years ago. They're just extremely scared on Obama,'' said Hillsborough GOP Chairman David Storck, who said the Brandon and Plant City offices last week made more than 13,000 phone calls.

In Pasco, GOP Chairman Bill Bunting predicts McCain will match Bush's nearly 75,000-vote advantage over Obama. Even in Democratic-leaning Pinellas, Republican Chairman Tony DiMatteo sounded mighty sure that McCain will win Pinellas: "If I had a hundred dollar bill to put on red or black, like in Vegas, I'd put $100 on McCain (winning Pinellas)."

When you look in an encyclopedia under “corrupt and/or election fraud”, it says, See: David Storck, Bill Bunting, and Tony "The Meatball" DiMatteo.

It's ok, GOPers.

You may be losing the White House, 10 Senators and 25 House seats.

But you'll still have Pasco County.

4:12 when you look in opensecrets.org and lok for the 3 politicians who took most lobbying money from Freddie Mac you see

1) Sen. Chris Dodd
2) Sen. Barack HUSSEIN Obama
3) Sen. John Kerry

Trouble with Obama;s supporters, so many can't even vote: they are either kids or criminals.

A court in Philly is making Obama produce his birth certificate by tomorrow.
He's going to get kicked off the ticket.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Why immediately is the left (4:12 & 4:17) going towards the race card?

Tony, Hold on to your hundred. Perhaps you can donate it to the retirement fund for all your candidates. CLEAN THEM OUT FROM THE WHITE HOUSE TO THE COURTHOUSE!!!!!

Let's review. Obama wants to raise taxes on corporations. These corporations often make the products we buy. Unless you are Nancy Pelsoi you know the prices of those products will rise to offset Obama's tax plan. When you go shopping you will pay the price for his tax plan. The plan, by the way, is to redistribute the working person's money to the people who clearly don't work. Amazing too, that there are so many jealous females out there. Palin is pretty and nice. In other words Hollywood, she has morals. Most Democrats aren't familiar with that word, they are too busy playing the race card.

Mr. DiMatteo might recall that W only carried Pinellas by 226 votes in 2004, and that W's lead was cut in half by the vote-by-mail ballots that arrived from Iraq and Afghanistan in the two-week window following election day.

Our troops in harm's way know what it's like to be screwed by an elephant.

Perhaps Mr. DiMatteo will donate his $100 losing bet to the VA's Prosthetics and Sensory Aids Services.

The GOP will have enough problems winning the local races. Hey Bunting, did you get Legg to leave his wife and kids for a while so he can say he actually lives in the district? People don't like liars and they will remember Legg's lies come the 4th!

The GOP and their masters at the Chamber of Commerce and Retail Federation will have to get all of the illegal aliens they have sheltered to vote for them if they are going to have any chance of winning anything anywhere. Americans have lost confidence in the GOP to govern anything but job-offshoring and tax haven held bank accounts.

Republican grassroots are thankful for leaders like Bunting and DiMatteo. McCain and Palin will win Florida
