I think that Hillary will barely "win" Florida tonight. It will be closer, now that Ted Kennedy endorsed Obama, plus Obama's speech making has been off the charts. However, the Obama people MUST change their chant. The current "O-BA-MA" shout sounds a bit scary. If they want a chance of winning, they must change it to a quick "OBAMA" without such pronounced syllable breaks. While this seems like a small thing, unless the campaign makes this adjustment, Obama will never be president. Ignore my advice at your own peril.
Much has been made of the fact the candidates have gotten down and dirty in this campaign. I say - GOOD. I want my Democrat to be leathered and weathered by the time the general election begins. Huckabee can have Chuck Norris at his side - but I want Hillary or Obama to BE Chuck Norris (minus the nutty beliefs) by the time the convention rolls around. We all know the Republicans are experts at slash and burn slime campaigns. So, we need our nominee ready to kick some butt.
For the Republicans, I predict Romney will beat McCain. The economy is the big concern of most Floridians - which helps "Full of Mitt." Plus, Romney has seemed much looser on the campaign trail, of late. McCain will be helped in the military areas, such as Pensacola and Jacksonville. Still, enough Republicans hate him - and Independents are not voting in this contest. This ought to allow Romney to squeak out a five point upset.
P.S. Any prediction I get wrong will mysteriously vanish before you check back in. Happy voting Florida (My Home State)

I am so glad you said that Wayne. I heard that odd chant and it made me almost shit in my pants. It scared me and sounded like a gang screaming in a foreign language. I ran away.
A guest on last week's Bill Maher made the same point (I forget who it was). They said they were glad that the Democratic candidates were fighting tooth and claw, so that he or she will be tough and ready to face the Republican slime machine. Instead of O-ba-ma, how about Obiwan-kanobe, Obiwan-kanobe.

One of the things I hate about the Bush/Republican legacy is that people no longer make a distinction between "fighting hard" and "fighting dirty".
I want the ultimate Democratic candidate to be ready to take on the Right Wing Hate Machine as well, but not at the expense of becoming Republicans themselves.
