It's Florida's big beauty contest day (I interviewed Rep. Alcee Hastings last night and he's what you call "38 hot" about the DNC's disenfranchisement of Florida. He's sending a letter to Howard Dean today demanding that the Florida delegates be seated.)
The Miami Herald has some info on what Floridians are thinking.
Number one issue for Sunshine State voters?
The economy - 38% and the war in Iraq - 19%
Most important quality voters want in a president?
Democrats:
- An agent of change - 19%
- Experience - 20%
Republicans:
- Represents my values (sorry, Rudy) - 27%
- Has a strong moral character - 21%
My polling place was doing a brisk business this morning. The line was already pretty long at 6:50 a.m. and it was growing when my kids and I left. Every Black person I talked to outside (interviewing folks for American Urban Radio Networks) was for Obama.
