Bush voters for Kerry. 

In yesterday's St. Pete Times, there was an interesting piece from Adam Smith about how, on an anecdotal basis at least, he had heard from numerous Bush voters in 2000 who will vote for Kerry this year, but virtually nobody who voted for Gore stating they'd vote for Bush this time around. And it's not just Smith - this phenomemon was even noted last week in The Note, ABC News' pre-eminent political news roundup.

Well, to add a related anecdote to the list, my wife informed me this morning that she spotted a Kerry bumper sticker on a vehicle that featured a "Choose Life" Florida license plate. Now, I realize she may have come across a pro-life Democrat, but the odds on that one are somewhat slim. After all, it was the mailing list for the "Choose Life" plate holders that Florida Republican politicians were salivating over last year.

Between the anecdotal evidence, the latest Rasmussen poll which has Kerry up 48-43 here, the fact that 10,000 lined up in the heat to see the Kerry/Edwards rally in St. Pete the other night, the fact that you can't overvote in this state any more, and this weekend's announcement that the flawed list of felons was being junked (gee, we had blacks on there, but not Hispanics - go figure), I think Florida's electoral votes are looking quite good for the Kerry column, and he should be the favorite in this state.
