14. Example: in case I didn't make sense...

Pinellas County Florida 2004

Bush "wins" 225,686 to Kerry 225,460 (226 votes) BUT...

Castor beats Martinez 264,802 to 151,527

Questions: Besides the voter party registration, why are there almost 20,000 more votes for President than Senator in a county where Castor was a local college president (Univ. South Fl.) so name recognition isn't an issue?

The local TAX INCREASE passed 62% to 38% - almost the same as the Senate race - and there were 40,000 more votes for President than the tax referrendum....were almost ALL the people who didn't vote for either Senator or the tax increase Republicans who only wanted to vote for Bush and skip the other elections? Very weird!
