What was Florida thinking when they elected this crook?

Right. It's not like his past wasn't well known. They probably would have elected Bernie Madoff if he were running on the GOP ticket. Serves them right; no pity here.

Florida Democrats fought very hard against this crook. The race was very close in the end and Alex Sink was the Florida CFO! So really a conservative Democrat.

On one hand, Democrats are generally outnumbered by Republicans in this state. On the other hand, we've had more Democrat governors than Republicans if you look at Florida's history. But I think in today's climate (read Tea Party) it's hard to elect a Democrat. Look at how long serving Ron Klein lost his seat to the other disgusting creep, Allen West.

The governor's ratings are still in the toilet and I think the idiots who thought this was a good idea are having buyer's remorse. Unfortunately, we all suffer.

Yeah, I can't begrudge the state Dems in your state for running a bad candidate. I think it's stupid when people vote simply against a party rather than looking at actual candidates.

Republicans (particularly the Tea Partiers in the panhandle) would have crawled over broken glass to get to the voting booth and vote (R) down the line.....Dems just weren't that excited about voting in 2010.

I hope it serves as a wake up call

Oh don't misunderstand me. Alex Sink was a fantastic candidate and I'd vote for her again. My pointing out she was the CFO meant she had a business sense and was good with money/economics which I think is a plus for a governor. She's also a terrific liberal and supports liberal causes.

Someone else said that to me, but I really haven't seen the numbers to show that's true. In fact, I'm pretty sure we had record numbers of voters, at least in South Florida.

It's not a problem. I hope you guys can get him out when you can and get people like West out too. George Allen is running again here in Virginia and that worries the crap out of me. Last thing I want is that guy back in office.
