Obama is coming to America's Wang™ ... finally

Well, after a long drought, it looks like we're finally going to see Barack Obama in Florida, as he has made plans to visit Orlando and Miami next week ... with Palm Beach County potentially being a destination as well, if Obama superdelegate and local campaign chair Rep. Robert Wexler can swing it.

With more than one-third of Hillary Clinton's Florida supporters telling pollsters they'd choose Republican John McCain over Democrat Barack Obama in November, there's a good chance Obama will visit the Hillary hotbed of Palm Beach County next week to begin consolidating Democratic support.

Obama, increasingly conducting his campaign like the Democratic nominee rather than a primary combatant, is slated to raise money in the Orlando area May 21 and the Miami area May 22. U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Delray Beach, one of Obama's key early backers, says he's talked to Obama about scheduling some face time with Wexler's constituents, who voted 70 percent for Clinton and only 19 percent for Obama in Florida's primary Jan. 29.

"This is, in effect, the first opportunity to truly introduce Sen. Obama to the South Florida community," Wexler says. "It is a bit late, but we have some time to make up for the lost time."

Aside from a few closed-door events with contributors, Obama hasn't campaigned in Florida since Aug. 25. In deference to Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean and some party bosses from key states, Obama and other Dems shunned Florida's primary.

In a late-April poll by Quinnipiac University, 36 percent of Florida Democrats who supported Clinton said they'd vote for McCain if Obama is the Democratic nominee. Nobody expects that percentage to hold in November, but it suggests Obama will have to spend time tending to the traditional Democratic base.

If my schedule permits and there's a way to do it, I'll go see Sen. Obama when he's here. But I have to admit that I worry about the crazed 36% of Florida Democrats who would rather switch than fight.

Come on, Clinton supporters. Use your brain. Are you really so opposed to Barack Obama's candidacy that you would rather see Huggy Bear's dessicated, goiter-ridden near-corpse carry on the proud tradition massive fuck-ups of the Bush crime syndicate?

Open your minds ... and save the country. Before it's too late.
