You need to follow this blog about FL politics. It's pretty good and it actually angers me.

Why does it anger me? Reading just how inept this party is. This blog is calling out the leadership of the FDP. There needs to be some major accountability. We need some help reorganizing this party from ground up. I spent a couple hours reading this today and I'm just shaking my head.

At the state level, we have multiple districts that went for Obama and Alex Sink the past 2 elections that have Republican House or Senate members. Unbelievable. This leadership still focuses on North Florida. Get out of North Florida! It's a lost cause except for a couple counties.

1. Yep...north Florida is hicksville. 70 percent of the population in..

...that area votes Repug and loves to "get liquored up" and fight with the hogs.

They (usually) have the personality and intelligence of a brick.

3. Sorry. 2 quick stories. While working in a band in Jacksonville...

...I play bass and sax....several times (5-6) over a 3 month period, someone
would ask me what that "Seahorse-looking thing" was.
It took all I could to say "It's a saxophone"..and not add "you idiot"

2. I'm Australian, Duel citizen...and have an Australian accent.
People in north florida usually think/say "He sounds like a Queer"

AAAGGGHH!!!!

4. What can I tell you that you haven't already learned about these low information people.

Unless the guy was drunk you can give him an excuse about your accent. But somehow I don't think he was.

5. N. Florida is like another state. It has been that way forever it seems. nt

6. they don't call it

F&^%*#@ Lower Alabama for nothing. That said, at least it has not fallen victim to gated community/strip mall sprawl.

7. Yes, FDP is a huge disappointment.

They will actually fight progressives harder than they will fight Rethugs. DWS actually endorsed a Rethug over a progressive Dem opponent several years ago. I will not give a dime to the FDP.
