Counties that count: Hillsborough County, Florida

Friday, October 31, 2008

Hillsborough County, Florida, is one of the "Counties that Count" in the 2008 election. The city of Tampa has both white, devoutly Christian voters and low-income blacks, with a mixed population filling in new suburbs. So what's motivating these key constituents to make their choice — and to make their choice early?

I just heard your interview with Andrea down in Florida and she was interviewing two secretaries and one of the comments was "I'm afraid that Obama is a Muslim "and the extraordinary thing to me is that no one and you guys don't comment on the fact that the word Muslim is used is a terrifying word in this right now in this election and that is of basically of prejudice racial races comment. I'm a Jewish man married to a Muslim women and I couldn't imagine anybody saying I heard that Obama is a Jew and people not saying anything about it. So I just wish that people would comment more on that. The fact that that the word Muslim has been turned in to such a terrifying word and your reporter called them on it.
