Friday Morning Political Headines: Obama visit to Orlando Coverage

August 3, 2012 Uncategorized No comments

President Barack Obama visited Orlando yesterday to activate his base and kick off his re-election efforts in the biggest political battleground in the country.

He talked about the economy and accused his opponent, Republican nominee Mitt Romney of fairy dust, trickle down economics that would hurt voters in the future. He stopped in at a local restaurant to meet and greet with supporters before taking off to Virgina to try to swing the state in his favor there.

20 miles down I4 in Lake Mary, former President Bill Clinton was the special guest at a big-dollar fundraiser a short time after.

Earlier in the day, Florida Senator and Mitt Romney surrogate Marco Rubio rallied the troops at a rally of his own.

*A complete wrap-up of the President’s visit can be found here*

Today, has already been a busy day in the political world and you’ve probably just fired up your computers now.

President Barack Obama will be visiting Rollins College in Winter Park this afternoon. Traffic delays should be expected as the President tries to activate voters here in the I4 corridor as we march towards November. There is no bigger political battleground in the country.

Earlier this morning Florida Senator and Mitt Romney surrogate Marco Rubio spoke to local supporters. This is counter-programming to the President’s message as his eventual opponent remains active in the region. Rubio is still expected to be in the Veepstakes and if selected could swing Florida in Romney’s favor.

It was an exciting opportunity to do some analysis for CBS News in Washington regarding the President’s visit to Orlando tomorrow.

As you might have heard, President Barack Obama will be visiting Rollins college tomorrow to push his campaign message and activate his voters for November. We’ve seen plenty of President Obama this year and that trend will continue all the way till November.

“The reason the I-4 corridor gets so much attention and hype is because it’s like the political ideology has been drawn to design,” Florida political analyst Frank Torres said about the corridor that rests between Republican-heavy northern Florida and the state’s more Democratic areas to the south.

“I like to call it the baseball rotation,” Torres, who lives in and focuses on the I-4 corridor, said of the Obama strategy. “We’re seeing a member from the Obama campaign in the I-4 corridor every week.”

Torres added, “It’s a late October environment in the middle of July. It trumps anything we’ve seen before.”

Thursday Morning Political Headlines: Could POTUS visit cause major traffic problems?

Here are your Thursday Morning Political Headlines:

Could President Barack Obama’s visit to Rollins College on Friday afternoon cause traffic problems in Orlando?

Fairbanks’s 2 lanes between Lakemont and 1792? You better believe it. And that motorcade is going to roll onto I4 at the peak time of your commute home. We’ve got some good stories on that.

Still, thousands will fill the venue at Rollins tomorrow to hear President Obama push his campaign message and his plan for the economy, education, and energy. The political strategy behind this appearance is sound. The heart of the I4 corridor must have a strong turnout in November if the President wants to win Florida.

A lot of great video content for you today. Including WAWA’s opening bringing lawmakers to Orlando.

Have a great day!
