Just a note from Largo/Clearwater - so I wondered what is happening locally to others in FL?

I'm in Pinellas, and since 2000 my neighborhood has been majority GOPers. Lots of retirees, and folks who work for the military contractors, and hard-core repubs who give $2000 every year. It can be discouraging.

This year the signs are literally 50-50 with a lot of Biden/Harris (we counted)! Also, the homeowners didn't hold a meeting in Oct. because of the possible conflicts. More and more seniors are going blue! They are really upset over the virus and social security. Trump is losing favor. I hope it's enough.

We have two families that are big trouble. One has a bunch of signs and one of those black flags with a blue stripe. I had never seen one of those before, and I really don't know what it means. Now I wonder if we have some kind of radical.

There are two black families and lots of international families, and none have reported any problems or harassment that I know of at this point. There is a lot neighborhood communication, so any event would be broadcast immediately.

There is another family with kids who openly break the rules. They are fundamentalists. Pool parties and cookouts, no masks, etc. They seem nice, but folks are crossing the street to avoid them. That group has been politely isolated all summer.

The biggest house is owned by two MDs, and they have a Trump sign. Their cars were home all day, and I found out that both caught the virus! I'm wondering if they will hold out for Trump now.

We have LOTS of people calling, waving signs, and organizing on social media. It seems to be working. If the local polls are correct, Biden could win Pinellas. We may even flip one of the crazy GOP state delegation, but that's a long shot.

I'm optimistic that we can win big here.
