Obama Up in Florida: Local GOPers Meet Secretly To Worry
| Thu Oct. 2, 2008 11:04 AM PDT
Four recent polls showing Barack Obama moving ahead of John McCain in the all-important state of Florida--and leading McCain there by 3 to 8 points--have sent Sunshine State GOPers into a (secret) panic. The St. Petersburg Times reports:
Florida Republican leaders hastily convened a top secret meeting this week to grapple with Sen. John McCain's sagging performance in this must-win state.
Their fears were confirmed Wednesday when four new polls showed Sen. Barack Obama leading, a reversal from just a few weeks ago when McCain was opening up an advantage....
With some grass roots organizers complaining about coordination problems with the campaign, Republican Party chairman Jim Greer gathered top officials at the state headquarters in Tallahassee on Tuesday afternoon. He swore the group to secrecy.
When asked about it by the St. Petersburg Times, Greer confirmed the meeting. He largely declined to discuss what was said.
Or what they are planning. Note to Democrats, rent Recount--just in case.

Michigoose, he is not shutting down all operations. He is just moving some staff around to try and shore up more not-so-solid former republican strongholds. Palin may have been a boost but McCain is still unpopular with his own party.
You can be assured that whatever they are up to it is undoubtedly illegal, and they hope we will never find out about it. But we found out about Clint Curtis and we will find out sooner or later what they have done. I just hope we don't have to put up with John McCain and Sarah Palin while we are finding out, and still not be able to do anything about it. That has been awful with actually the illegal Bush administration.
