Editor's note
On Nov. 6, voters will decide whether Florida will swing Red or Blue.
The Sunshine State is the most important of the battleground states where this year’s presidential election will be decided. Naples Daily News reporters and photographers have fanned out across Florida, talking to elected officials and ordinary people about their concerns, the issues that will determine how they vote, and grassroots efforts to sway the undecided.
How is the state leaning this year? This is a series of Daily News reports on Florida as a Swing State.
■ Swing state: Florida the prize in determining if Obama or Romney wins White House
■ Swing state: Hillsborough County has track record of choosing presidential winner
■ Swing state: Foreclosure and Medicare issues make Lehigh Acres vote key
■ Swing state: Unemployment plagues Fort Pierce; which candidate will jobless choose?
■ Swing state:Waning support for NASA workers leaves Space Coast's vote up in the air
■ Swing state: Jewish vote a must to Obama, an opportunity to Romney
■ Swing state: Democratic, conservative Duval a toss-up for Romney, Obama
■ Swing state: Florida's capital is a Democratic city surrounding Republican lawmakers
■ Swing state: Military base heavy Panhandle supports Romney, Obama tries to make gains
■ Swing state: Heavy population of Puerto Rican residents could tip vote in I-4 corridor
■ Swing state: Cuban population adds Republican bloc in Democratic South Florida
■ Swing state: Voter turnout the key to Obama, Romney victory
DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — Heading into the campaign's final weeks, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is upping his criticism of President Barack Obama's plans for a second term, accusing the Democrat of failing to tell Americans what he would do with four more years.
The Obama campaign is aggressively disputing the notion, claiming it's Romney who hasn't provided specific details to voters.
At campaign events and in a new ad out Saturday, Romney is setting up the closing weeks as a choice between what he says is a "small" campaign that's offering little new policy and his own ambitious plan to fundamentally change America's tax code and entitlement programs.
The new Romney ad criticizes the president's policies on debt, health care, taxes, energy and Medicare, arguing that Obama is simply offering more of the same. The campaign did not say where the spot would air.
"Have you been listening to the Obama camp lately? They have no agenda for the future, no agenda for America, no agenda for the second term," Romney told a crowd of thousands who gathered in a band shell just off Daytona Beach. "They've been reduced to petty attacks and silly word games. Just watch it — the Obama campaign has become the incredible shrinking campaign."
Obama's campaign disputes the notion that the president hasn't outlined a detailed second-term agenda, pointing to his calls for immigration reform, ending tax breaks for upper income earners, fully implementing his health care overhaul and ending the war in Afghanistan.
In a statement sent after Romney's Friday night event, Obama campaign spokesman Danny Kanner ticked through a series of policy items, calling them "just part of President Obama's agenda for a second term."
On the economy, the president has essentially called for reintroducing legislation that stalled in Congress during his first term. That includes tax credits for companies that hire new workers and funding for local municipalities to hire more teachers, police officers and firefighters.
As for why Republicans would back the same proposals they have already voted against, Obama has told supporters he expects his re-election would "break the fever" on Capitol Hill that led to gridlock during his first term.
The president's aides are particularly irked by the questions about Obama's second-term agenda, because they say it's Romney who has failed to provide voters with details. They point to his refusal to provide specifics about his tax plan or outline what he would replace the president's health care overhaul with if he makes good on his promise to repeal the federal law.
An independent group backing Obama, though, is trying to renew attention on Romney's tenure at the helm of the private equity firm Bain Capital. The group, Priorities USA Action, is redoubling its efforts against Romney, re-airing an ad about an AMPAD plant in Marion, Ind. That spot features former employee Mike Earnest recalling being told to build a stage from which officials of the office supply company later announced mass layoffs.
He says, "It was like building my own coffin." That ad first aired in battleground states in the summer.
Romney aides have said AMPAD was a struggling business to begin with, and Bain overall created many more jobs than were lost.
That ad will air in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Ohio, Nevada, Virginia and Wisconsin. The new campaign will be in addition to a $30 million effort against Romney policy proposals, the group said.
Both Obama and Romney retreated from the campaign trail Saturday to bone up on foreign policy, leaving the work of courting voters to their running mates.
Monday's debate in Boca Raton, Fla., with its focus on international affairs, is the third and final between the two rivals and comes just 15 days before the election.
Obama left Friday for Camp David, the presidential hideaway in Maryland's Catoctin Mountains. He was to remain there with advisers until Monday morning. Romney was to spend the weekend in Florida with aides preparing for the debate.
Romney running mate Paul Ryan planned campaign stops in Pennsylvania and Ohio on Saturday. Vice President Joe Biden was headed for St. Augustine, Fla.
Monday's 90-minute debate will be moderated by Bob Schieffer of CBS News. It will be similar to the first debate, with both men standing at lecterns on a stage. Schieffer has listed five subject areas, with more time devoted to the Middle East and terrorism than any other topic.
While the economy has been the dominant theme of the election, foreign policy has attracted renewed media attention in the aftermath of the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens.
Obama had ranked well with the public on his handling of international issues and in fighting terrorism, especially following the death of Osama bin Laden. But the administration's response to the Libya attack and questions over levels of security at the consulate have given Romney and his Republican allies an issue with which to raise doubts about Obama's foreign policy leadership.
Ryan accused Obama of stonewalling, telling Milwaukee radio station WTMJ on Friday that the president was refusing to answer even basic questions. "His response has been inconsistent, it's been misleading," Ryan said.
Obama stuck with domestic policy themes Friday, accusing Romney of moderating his stands and conveniently forgetting his past positions on economic and women's issues and coining a new campaign term for what he described as his opponent's condition: "Romnesia."
Romney has spent large amounts of time off the campaign trail to prepare for the upcoming foreign policy debate. Aides say the additional time preparing is well-spent even if it comes at the expense of public events.

Let me start this discussion by citing my greatest fear that Obama will lose the popular vote, but win the Electoral College vote.

There's probably less outright corruption now than heretofore.

What's wrong today is what's legal.
Half the people in the country get some kind of government check.
SS disability and Food Stamps are at record levels. I know people who have effectively retired young on this gravytrain.
Most of the people collecting a government paycheck accomplish nothing necessary or productive, whether the Post Office, the Marco PD, the TSA, the DEA, the troops fighting our worthless wars in the Levant, most soon to be getting on board the Post-Traumatic Stress gravy train.
Anyone either collecting a government check now or soon expecting to get one would be a fool not to vote for the Great Obama....

Obama's time as president has been the longest period of high unemployment since the great depression. Unemployment is 19% when you include those that have given up looking for work since Obama took office.
6 million Americans added to Fed SS Disability Benefits under Obama
Far more Americans have signed on to SS Disability than have founds jobs under Obama
Median incomes have fallen 7.3% under Obama
The poverty rate climbed to 15.7% last year, highest since the 1960's
Health insurance premiums have increased $3,000 per family since the beginning of Obamacare implementation when Obama promised they would fall by $2500 in the first year
The Misery Index (combo of unemployment and inflation) has risen from 7.83 to 9.71 under Obama
Obama has added nearly $6 trillion to the National Debt in 4 years, which is much more than Bush added in 8 years
Food stamp spending is up 100% under Obama
All Welfare spending has jumped 32% under Obama
Violent Crime is up 18% under Obama, First Rise in 20 Years
Gas prices have gone up 100% under Obama
Food prices have gone up 25% under Obama
The recession was a result of the Mortgage Meltdown which was caused by democrats like Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, ACORN and their attorney Barack Obama that forced financial institutions to pass out mortgages like candy to folks without the means to pay back the loans.
Now we have elected a president that not only helped cause the original mess, but has made that mess much, much worse.

The Chevy Volt that the Obama Administration launched in 2010 has been a dismal failure. 300 million dollars were spent on a plant to produce an electric car that is a lemon. No one wants the car,and what do they do,lower the price. And guess what....people still don't want that Chevy Volt problem car. The Obama administration also spent 151 million dollars on a plant to assemble batteries for the Chevy Volt. This plant is sitting dorment,as there is also no demand for the batteries. Government money wasted again. AND to further stick it to the American people,the workers at the plant,are sitting there for monthes and monthes,with nothing to do,getting paid,and playing monopoly. Well thats the only kind of money people are going to have when this administration continues on their path to ruining America. Another government project,that failed,wasting money,getting us deeper in debt......put together by an administration with no business experience.WE NEED MITT ROMNEY TO SAVE AMERICA!!!

"WE NEED MITT ROMNEY TO SAVE AMERICA!!!"
Who told you that? I can give you immediately 3 major reason WHY Mitt Romney will not win:
1). Romney's advocacy of the "free market uber allies" view that we should have "let Detroit go bankrupt" may be his most costly single mistake.
2). Romney's embrace of extremist positions that require to Government to get involved in personal decisions about women's reproductive health - especially contraception and abortion - help drive a huge and continuing gender gap.
3). Romney's statements about "self deportation," vetoing the Dream Act, the Arizona "papers please" law, have made him toxic to many recent immigrants - and especially to Hispanics - the fastest growing voting block in America.
And the winner is..................
President Barack Obama the GREAT!

KLAUS,
Here is the best discription of your Good Buddy yet:
Obama is an insolent, militant, incompetent, narcissistic, execrable, America-hating slug. He is a union slave who has never worked a day in his life; yet he blames the failures of those who chose their own path on the successes of those who earned their way through hard work and commitment to family, community, and country.
He is an opportunistic community agitator and a dishonest predator, constantly on the prowl for a situation or occurrence that he can exploit to benefit his agenda, no matter how it affects the future of the nation. He hates American culture, American values, and American people. He hates the Constitution of the United States, and he abhors the Declaration of Independence.
He is a proponent of separatist multiculturalism and its inherent disruption of progress toward a unified America and the common good of all citizens. He is for open borders and closed minds. He has no regard for the rule of law or for the fair and impartial, yet critical judgment of criminals and terrorists.
He is for INSTANT EQUALITY, and he is against EQUAL OPPORTUNITY.
He is a Godless worm who is in favor of continual government intervention so as to alter the courses and lives of those who are the least fit to survive and prosper.
He is for Affirmative Action, political correctness, welfare, never-ending unemployment benefits, unbridled labor union power, globalism, wealth redistribution, restriction of free speech and movement, energy-based strangulation of business and prosperity, punishment through taxation, and the ridiculous notion that human beings can affect the climate.
He has a progressive, leftist, talking-point excuse for each and every one of his patriotic, social, intellectual, and contributory shortcomings, of which there are many.
He is pathetic.
He is Liberal.
He is Marxist.
He is a Democrat.
He is Barack Obama.
Most disconcerting of all, he is the “President”.

YOU HAVE IT BACKWARDS.Women will continue to have the same health care and decisions they have now.The only thing the Republicans don't want....is for government to"PAY" for someones abortion. And because the government "PAYS" for these people to get an abortion,they use killing babies as their birth control. ROMNEY says,if you want an abortion,then pay for it yourself.

Everyone, please take the time to view this. Send it to everyone you know and ask them to be sure and view it. It is one of the most positive pieces of information I have seen come out on Mitt Romney. And, surprisingly, it is on CBS, which is not typical for one of the major media stations.

KLAUS,
Please read what our neighbors think about where our Country is heading:
Top Ten – Only in America - By a Canadian
1) Only in America could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000 a plate campaign fund-raising event.
2) Only in America could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when they have a black President, a black Attorney General, and roughly 18% of the federal workforce is black while only 12% of the population is black.
3) Only in America could they have had the two people most responsible for their tax code, Timothy Geithner, the head of the Treasury Department and Charles Rangel who once ran the Ways and Means Committee, BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.
4) Only in America can they have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.
5) Only in America would they make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege while we discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just ‘magically’ become American citizens.
6) Only in America could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country’s Constitution be thought of as “extremists.”
7) Only in America could you need to present a driver’s license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.
8) Only in America could people demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. Oil company (Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making tennis shoes (Nike).
9) Only in America could the government collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a trillion dollars more than it has per year for total spending of $7 million PER MINUTE, and complain that it doesn’t have nearly enough money.
10) Only in America could the most productive people who pay 86% of all income taxes be accused of not paying their “fair share” by people who don’t pay any income taxes at all.
