Will Trayvon Martin killing give Florida to Obama?

Now it's all about the hoodie.

It may sound far fetched, but the energy and outrage that is being seen in Florida may be felt at the ballot box. And the longer these "officials" allow the man responsible to walk free, the entire country is feeling the effects.

Whether it is warranted or not, the prospects of institutional racism, in this case, could explode into a national incident.

People will have forgotten this by the election. It won't matter much.

I don't get it? The republicans have to saddle themselves with this killing? Is that what I'm hearing?

The Governor is a Republican...I gather THIS is what the dilluded OP might be alluding to...

Oh....They really have to stretch this tragedy to make it a political issue in Florida.

I've read the links, and you're on the mark, Meister. With the circumstances as they were, the police were right to let the shooter go. He was looking out for the neighborhood and said that he was attacked. The blood on the back of his hand convinced the death scene officers that he had been attacked.
