Summary As Americans prepare to cast their votes in the 2012 Presidential election, special correspondent Annabel Crabb heads to Florida to see what the ultimate swing state can tell us about definitive and decisive campaign issues and the political fortunes of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.Home of the infamous hanging chad in the Bush v Gore 2000 election and host to this campaign's Republican Party Convention, Florida is split square down the middle. Just who occupies the White House for the next four years may depend on a handful of waverers.Annabel Crabb - one of Australia's best known and most astute political observers - takes a breather from the shenanigans of Canberra's hung parliament - lobs in Tampa, packs herself into Jasmine the pea-green Kombi and hits the highway to gather perspective on the Obama/Romney showdown.On a bright, breezy, irreverent and ultimately fascinating jaunt through Florida's swamps and cities, Annabel tackles the immigration issue with former state governor and Presidential little brother Jeb Bush, learns to shovel oysters with Gulf farmers decrying the advent of Obama socialism, probes campaign financing with another former governor Bob Graham, pays her very first visit to a gun store and marvels at mermaids, manatee and the distinctive complexities of America's Sunshine State.PRODUCTION DETAILS:ABC TV Production.
