You have to remember that in a state like Florida, independent voters will decide the election.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Ohio chose the president in 2000 and 2004. The independent voters, the so-called swing voters, are the ones who make the difference.
Voters will decide how they want to be governed.
I just think that the independent voters are going to take their time and look at both candidates.
Actually, I believe there are more independents than either Republicans or Democrats, and yet those are the... that is the choice we have on the party ballot.
Independence doesn't mean you decide the way you want.
Florida is one of the first states that sort of gives the legislature a very clear criteria for re-drawing electoral district maps. Basically, all the criteria do is tell the legislators that you can't draw a seat that helps yourself or a political party. That's really critical.
Elections are about choices.
I guess you'd call me an independent, since I've never identified myself with one party or another in politics. I always decide my vote by taking as careful a look as I can at the actual candidates and issues themselves, no matter what the party label.
The fact is, I can vote for anybody; independents, Republicans, Democrats. But I'm a registered Democrat in the District of Columbia.
The people who cast the votes don't decide an election, the people who count the votes do.
