Map shows keys to Romney's win in Florida

By: Anthony Salvanto, Joe Williams
Topics: Campaign 2012

With votes still coming in, the map below helps illustrate Mitt Romney's strong night in Florida. He is ahead in counties throughout the state, dominating in the southern area around Miami, along the coasts and around vote-rich Tampa, Orlando and Ft Myers. Meanwhile, in the panhandle, Newt Gingrich's county leads come mainly from smaller counties - not nearly enough for him to make up the difference.

The map below represents 85 percent of the vote:

I realized after many years of voting for Republicans that their way was not for the average citizen.The trickle down NEVER reached the middle class and abandoned the lower class in america.I have seen Herman Cain get "MACAINED" by his own base in the same fashion that happened when GW ran for President.I and hopefully AMERICA sees that in the past when our nation needed infrastructure to show the world how Great the UNITED STATES was our corporations and people with wealth never wastede the tax-payers time and monies sitting on thier hands. Our nation got the backers to accomplish being the greatest when it came to having roads and utilities and the infrastructure. Now the Corporations are more interested in profit and with the majority of U.S. citizens making less money or none at all these Corporations turn thier focus to make themselves and other contries richer, well at least other contries wealthier partners.Maybe more Swiss bank accounts can be obtained if we vote in richer Presidents, Maybe someday those who really WORK for thier living can get rid of those who just say NO! to helping our economy for the sake of those less fortunate Millionaires. This wont happen until those who have a hard time making ends meet realize that " They are not rich enough to to be considered important to the wealthy or greedy corporations unless its an election year! Until then you can expect the same lies and the same "Lets change this so it's in one groups favor" attitude. The GOP has cost AMERICA thru their continued assalt on the "average joe" and thier spending in every republican administration and the tax payers are the ones who suffer. Thats why Theives like ROMNEY were reluctant to show those who pay their fair share of taxes( remember this is what keeps our parks open and our schools viable)what he made and the taxes he didn't have to pay! It's O K to evade taxesw if your rich but I challange you followers of the GOP to try evading any amount of your taxes and folks like MITT will throw you under the bus. This election will show how money and greed can buy votes and when the bottom falls out the GOP will badger the next President as he or she try to lift AMERICA out of the next mess the GOP got us into.I had hope that I might again find a reason to follow The GOP but with the FLEAPARTY emerging I'm convinced the Right will only get WORSE. GOD BLESS US ALL IF GREED PREVAILS!!!; Reply to this comment
