You have to be in pretty good physical shape to vote in Florida!

So if you can't stand in line for 3 or 4 hours, regardless the weather, just stay home. If you have so much as a freakin' head cold, you probably aren't in shape for voting.

They have warmer weather.

When I voted in Maryland Friday it was a 3 hour line. Waited an hour outside in the cold. What made it bad was the wind. Then there was another 2 hour wait inside.

I also work 8 hours a day pushing wheelchairs, lifting children, and before adults, changing their diapers, etc. Stand in line 4 hours? Piece of cake, with all the physical work I do.

I will turn 64 in 2 weeks.

I'm happy for you, but many can't do that, or are met with unforeseen consequences that will not allow them to get through the gauntlet.

it'll come down to who wants it more. The angry racists who cant even say R$'s name but are voting against Obama..... or the ones who are voting for something. Voting for Obama, voting for their futures.
