Who can win Florida?

So, the Times field-tested Obama and Clinton against the recipe. In a random survey of Democratic politicians in conservative, or at least politically competitive, areas of the state, we found ambivalence and uncertainty over which leading Democrat would have a better shot at winning Florida in November.

Clinton has high negative ratings, but she also excites many female voters and die-hard Democrats and, polls suggest, could do particularly well among Cuban-Americans in South Florida.

Polls show Obama has low negative ratings and is popular among crucial independent and swing voters. But he has little conventional experience, and who knows how he would withstand tens of millions of dollars of negative ads.

"I have never in my life been so puzzled. I could give 10 arguments each way," said former Lt. Gov. Wayne Mixson, a conservative Democrat in Tallahassee, when asked who would be stronger in North Florida. "I'm inclined to vote for Obama. He's new, he's fresh."

1. I Heard The Weirdest Thing Of All This A.M!! My Ex-Sister-In-Law...

and I LOVE her to death, told me should would never vote for OBAMA because he's Iranian!!!! THAT'S a first for me.

I set her straight with a bit of indignation, but not at all nasty even though I'm an Edwards supporter. She said she WON'T vote for Clinton, no way!! She's a bit older than me, 70 and doesn't follow politics much. I keep her filled in. Anyway, she's going for Edwards now!!

She wasn't going to vote at all, but she will now! She thought the election was called off or something, and I told her all she needed to do was "ask me" because it IS very confusing to LOTS of people.

I said this some time ago, PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED!!
