Edwards Warns Floridians of GOP 'Tricks'

Sen. John Edwards, visiting the state that narrowly put President Bush in the White House in 2000 after a disputed recount and voting irregularities, issued a warning Saturday to Floridians about Republicans.

"We know they're going to be up to their old tricks, right, trying to keep people from voting," Edwards told supporters gathered at a community block party. "We're going to make sure that people get to vote. We're going to make sure those votes count, and here in Florida, democracy is going to decide who the next president of the United States is going to be."

Stumping for running mate John Kerry, the North Carolina senator kicked off a five-day, 12-city tour of the state by the Democratic ticket and their wives at the suburban Miami block party. As he spoke, barefoot children bounced inside two inflatable structures, the heavily black crowd ate hot dogs, and a supporter with dreadlocks banged on bongos and blew a brass horn at key lines from Edwards' speech.

"We are at ground zero for where the decision will be made about who the next president of the United States will be," Edwards said. "And, we know what's coming, right? We know what's coming. The Republicans are already up to it."

4. Hmm ...

Interesting strategy to put that much emphasis on FL (Edwards in the state for 5 days??!!!) Hard for me to believe that we can prevent that state from being stolen ... but, who knows? Miracles can happen.

7. I know he's said his cameras are going to be there.

Along with lots of lawyers and other folk to make sure 2000 doesn't happen again. As to a film, I'm not sure about that part.

6. florida has early voting, doesn't it? if people get to the polls

before election day, potential trouble spots could be avoided.

for example, if they try to tell someone this monday that they can't vote, there's still time to seek recourse. also, state troopers won't be there demanding to see ID except on election day.

voting early could avoid a lot of headaches in florida.
