I feel left out.........
I watch all the speeches and the people shaking hands with Obama and wish that he only would have been able to campaign in Florida and that I, too, could go hear him speak or possibly be in his aura or shake his hand. It is so sad that Florida authorities have taken that opportunity from me. Will he EVER come here?

I hope that some Obama people are listening. We need to have him here as soon as the primaries are over. Too many people are supporting him or donating to his campaign but starting to feel left out in that all we get is him on TV. No genuine electricity here in the air because it all is digital.

Please, if you are out there with any clout, tell him.....come to Florida!

OK. I vented. Now, I'll go donate....

2. Trust me, he will be campaigning in FL. In the meantime, you should
plan for the inauguration! There might be some DUers there!

5. You're right - and if the campaign is smart - and I think they are - Obama will show up
there and ask you to help open government up for the people.

Call or write his campaign and CC your local paper.

12. I did write to the campaign through his website and asked him to
stop by my hometown (it is a very historical town and would have been a great setting). Someone from the campaign called me but they declined respectfully. I WAS impressed, though, that the campaign actually returned a reply. That is the night I gave my first donation.

7. I hope he will spend some time soon in Fla and Mich to reach out.
And I hope you will get your chance to shake his hand. He came to Texas, but I only got to see him in big crowds, so I haven't gotten to meet him either. I hope I might get that chance sometime during the GE.

8. Once Obama is the presumative nominee this week
He'll make a formal request that FL and MI be seated with 50% delegates on May 31st.

Obama will MAKE sure that you guys are NOT left out.

19. I know, it sucks...
Meanwhile, I'll send .02 worth of love your way - And pour a martini for Florida! (I lived there for a few years)

We will unite, and I guarantee Barack will hit your state as soon as this is a wrap. He's gotta.

20. I'm in FL too, and I know how you feel.
Don't you worry. As soon as he has the nomination, he'll be down here plenty.

This is the first time in my 56 years I've voted for someone (as opposed to against the other guy) and wouldn't you know I'd have moved down here from NY and my vote didn't count. But that just made me work even harder, donate more than I've ever donated in my life, and I soon realized as long as he kept winning it didn't bother me as much as I thought it would not having my vote count. The important thing is that enough votes everywhere else did count, and as much as I am DYING to see him up close, the only thing that really matters is seeing him in the White House.

22. you are right. I know he will come and I will drive to the ends of the state
to see him somewhere. I am sure it won't be here as this is Bush Country in NE FL....

BTW, what is this crap about South Florida seceding?
