I despise Florida

[graywarrior]

Nearly every distric voting republican.

[undergroundrailroad]

1. Yes, we got our pound of flesh tonight. (n/t)

[Lost-in-FL]

2. Tell me about it...

and you don't even live here!!

[graywarrior]

5. I voted here. I'm registered here.

[Lost-in-FL]

9. Sorry!!

I feel your pain... I can't wait to move out of here some day. :hug:

[graywarrior]

16. No problem, my friend.

I am leaving here in May, hopefully to never return.

[Dudley_DUright]

3. I really don't know what is wrong with people down here

I guess they like crappy schools and corrupt state government.

[graywarrior]

4. I hate this fucking state. I hope is slides into the ocean.

[Maraya1969]

29. Thanks for the laugh! I am sick of here also.

[Crunchy Frog]

54. It will. Maybe they'll finally believe in global warming

when it happens.

[TheDonkey]

6. hate hate hate Florida

there are some very beautiful areas in FL and some great people but the state as a whole is overrun with hillbilly thugs.

[newsguyatl]

12. best.post.ever

[jab105]

7. Davis was weak and Nelson was a given...

disappointing...in my area, Republicans got everything except for sheriff...

[Orangepeel]

8. At least Alex Sink is going to win

(knock wood). That's some progress, even though voting for Tom Lee over Alex Sink for CFO would be like picking a televangelist over a doctor to treat a disease.

[Lost-in-FL]

10. And Klein and Mahoney

:fingers crossed:

[graywarrior]

11. Yabut, Buchanan is winning over Jennings.

Fuck

[The Backlash Cometh]

13. Florida needs a serious airing.

They're unfazed by the anti-corruption wave, because there's a whole culture of corruption thriving down here.

[Generator]

14. I hate to say this but hell

do the older folks there think the Republican party is the party of 1965 or something? That sunshine tax is too high.

[rzemanfl]

15. One of the problems is that people up North come down here

and then get old and senile. I am on my way there myself, but I promise to stop voting when I can no longer find my ass with both hands.

That said, the Florida Democratic party is hopelessly incompetent and underfunded.

[graywarrior]

17. No kidding. I worked with the DEC and they are fucked.

[Maraya1969]

36. My mother is a snow bird and votes here and she and all her friends

have been Repubs from the beginning of time. I always remember my mother being very smart but now it seems like she just follows the damn herd and she can't see how her party has been flowing down the toilet for years. I think a lot of it is pure stubbornness. Oh, and she loves tax breaks. The seniors here are FINE financially, (well it seems that way) yet they get discounts on everything.

I know it sounds childish but I can't wait to go BWAHAHAHAHAH in her face tomorrow. (In a nice way of course :P )

[demo dutch]

18. Are giving up already? Broward, Palm Bch and miami-Dade haven't reported yet

They'll be the counties that will decide!

[graywarrior]

19. I hope so. They've been reporting problems with voting

[demo dutch]

20. Yes they have but all in all minor though... MSNBC just call it for Crist! SHIT!

[graywarrior]

21. I have to face reality. It's a RED state.

[demo dutch]

40. It a Purple state with Red voting machines

[SoFlaJet]

23. that's the bottom line

I do NOT and will never trust these machines we vote on-every time I vote I get a sneaking suspicion that my vote is being redirected to a GOP candidate

[RockaFowler]

22. What a terrible choice for Governor

This state will never get better with this schmuck in office. Oy Vay!!!

[MrPrax]

24. Even Foley ahead of Mahoney...

but now they are tied according to MSNBC county breakdown of District 16..hopefully the dem can pull through...

There is either a lot of fraud or sadly a lot of right wing people in Florida...that's too bad if your stuck there...it must be frustrating.

[graywarrior]

25. It sucks. It's like there is no hope here.

Fucking bastards.

[Matilda]

26. With Florida's history,

how does anyone know it's legit?

[graywarrior]

27. I know. You go around feeling hopeful and bam...it changes in a few hours

[demo dutch]

28. it's probably not legit!!!

[graywarrior]

31. That's all I can cling to.

[WCGreen]

30. fuck...

I am so over FLA....

[marmar]

32. Ohio has at least redeemed itself tonight....

Florida continues to be the problem child....
I will not spend another tourist dollar in that state (I haven't since like 1998), and I'll buy only California or South American oranges.

[TheDonkey]

33. Even Indiana is seeing blue. something is seriously wrong with the South

it's bizarre and we need to fix it.

[demo dutch]

34. Repugs have redrawn the districts that's one of the things wrong!

[Divine Discontent]

42. it implies mass corruption in FLORIDA so they can continue to make

millions doing dirty deeds down in FL. of course baby shrub is gov... and crist is their lil beeotch and I'm concerned that he'll set back gay rights (as stated on DU) when he gets busted in a gay orgy with young men like that Harris/Crist campaign staffer and f up all a lot of you have fought for...


sheesh... I was so hoping his hypocrisy would keep him from getting in and the siding with the insurance industry who screwed over homeowners much like crist screwed over that young staffer...

[castiron]

47. ya think? that's why i love threads like this: hate threads

because I often say the same about my state: I despise Texas.

[SoFlaJet]

35. and look at the party running things

and there is your answer-these elections down here with these voting machines we use-are FIXED and the republicans have no interest in having it corrected-they like it fine this way.Dean is right don't leave it up to a couple of states look to places they don't EXPECT to lose-don't blame us Florida dems-we do what we can-we vote-we stay active and informed

[graywarrior]

37. It's like being in hell with fucking devils

[demo dutch]

38. At least it looks like my district voted out Clay Shaw (R)

[graywarrior]

39. Congratulations. At least there is some good news.

[demo dutch]

41. and local news is reported Foley(Negron) vs Mahoney very close 50-49

a very tough repug district and we got rid of Harris! It's a Purple State with "Red" voting machines

[graywarrior]

43. Shit canning Harris is a biggie.

[demo dutch]

46. Don;t be despressed! My legislative interest group says Crist is so weak

he'll go any which way the wind blows, so they're toooo terribly worried. However a Davis win would have been great of course. Still want to wait for all the counties to be counted, still think it's closer than you might think. PLus think about with the blunder Crist made with *, acces to the WH will not be very good in my opinion, so I think he won't last!

[graywarrior]

48. Yeah, thanks. I needed that.

[demo dutch]

49. Grayworrier!! My county also voted out Foley replacement!!!! There's hope yet!

Negron making concession speech on local TV right now!

[soup]

51. Davis conceded.

http://blogs.tampabay.com/buzz/2006/11/davis_conceded.html

~sigh.

[demo dutch]

52. Saw it - at least we gained 2 seats in the house thanks to my county

[Divine Discontent]

44. that's great, thanks for saying it! n/t

[demo dutch]

45. Waiting to see what else happend in the 3 SE Dem counties!

[demo dutch]

50. Oh and also Foley replacement! Negron conceding right now!

[bliss_eternal]

53. graywarrior...

Hang in there, it's not over yet.

Just wanted to offer you this. :hug: Looks like I may be stuck with a right wing asshat too (in CA). :eyes: Arnie is way ahead of Angelides--but I'm not giving up hope yet. I hate that corrupt asshole.
