Had to share the optimism oozing out of Florida from the Republican women of that state, as told by Standard Weekly in their email newswire (I was subscribed as a joke by someone, but I keep it because I like to see what they're up to...)
The Florida Federation of Republican Women today took an unusual step and predicted an election day surprise in the women's vote in Broward and Palm Beach Counties partially based on what they are calling the unknown "Hillary - Palin factor".
"Despite the millions Obama is pouring into Florida, we predict an unexpectedly large turnout for the McCain/Palin ticket in some of Florida's most traditionally liberal voting counties, including Broward and Palm Beach. Will Republicans win these counties outright? Maybe not, but McCain certainly will come closer to 50% than any Republican has before and that will be history making in itself," said Linda Ivell, president of the FFRW.
