Had to blow off my Repub date tonight....
I shoulda known better than to even TRY to go out with him. We argued the entire night about politics. Since I live in an area that is about 70% Repub it's hard to find a good Democrat.

20. it's a bit more democrat friendly in Daytona Beach...even with....
all of the gated communities in port orange and ormond by the sea...oh yeah, and NASCAR's HQ too. volusia county was solidly democratic in '00 and '02...they punish us for being so democratic though, with the highest gas prices in florida, largest unemployment and homeless rates, and the lowest wages in the state.
