Top Campaign Surrogates Arrive In Florida

September 11, 2012 at 2:46 pm

Former President Bill Clinton is in the midst of his two-day Florida campaign trip for President Barack Obama – starting with a speech at Florida International University.

The Obama campaign says the appearance Tuesday at the Miami University will focus on economic issues. Clinton is set to make another appearance on Wednesday in Orlando.

Florida is one of a handful of swing states considered key to deciding the election between Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney. Obama himself spent two days over the weekend campaigning in Florida. Florida has 29 electoral votes and Obama carried the state in 2008 over John McCain.

Democrats say turnout is one of the keys to winning the Nov. 6 election. South Florida’s three heavily-populated counties of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach include many reliable Democratic strongholds.

Meanwhile, Ann Romney will be in Jacksonville this afternoon to stump for her husband and help assemble USO care packages beginning at 3 p.m. She’ll be visiting the Romney’s Jacksonville Victory Office, according to the GOP presidential contender’s campaign.

Ann Romney will also campaign tomorrow at the Largo Community Center, the campaign said, billing the event as a “Women for Mitt” event.
