Ron Paul & Romney Get Jump on Florida Absentee Voters
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The Florida presidential primary is on.
Voting is already well under way even though Florida doesn't hold its GOP nominating contest until Jan. 31. And both Mitt Romney, coming off of back-to-back victories in Iowa and New Hampshire, and Ron Paul are aggressively reaching out to voters who have requested ballots.
None of their competitors has been nearly as active even though the victor in Florida would get a huge boost of momentum and all of the state's 50 delegates to the national nominating convention.
As of Tuesday, 424,000 Republican absentee ballots had been mailed — to military personnel, overseas residents and other Floridians — and about 84,000 had been returned in a state that has 4 million registered Republican voters. Early voting in Hillsborough, Hardy, Hendry, Monroe and Collier counties begins Monday and runs through Jan. 29. Florida's other 62 counties will hold early voting Jan. 21-28.

I've already voted absentee, and so has my wife. We're in FL now, but usually travelling this time of year, so we vote absentee. We got a nice long letter and a pretty brochure from Dr. Paul. Nothing yet from Mittens.
And, yes, we voted for Dr. Paul. My third Presidential vote for him, my wife's second. I didn't know her in 1988.

I am in Sarasota county. So far, I only see some RP signs. None for anyone else. I have seen about 5 Romney TV comercials, 1 Paul comercial. None from anyone else. I am a registered Republican here but have not yet received anything in the mail or by phone from anyone.
I believe early voting has a bigger turn out and longer lines so anyone with anything left to do or give out to convert Florida Republicans, there is really more like 9 days left to get it done.
I'd love to see him at least come in 3rd here. These Hannity/Limbaugh elders with no internet are tough nuts to crack.
