It's never wise to leave one party in charge of everything, Florida entirely ruled by the Republicans and though you might think that would be a good thing, they are just as stupid as the Democrats and make rediculous decisions based entirely on their political philosophies regardless of whether actual citizens get hurt in the process.

Florida is a purple state and leaning more towards blue. The conservatives are upsetting the Cubans (finally) and even the country folks are beginning to see the fallacy of the right wing. Don't forget that Bob Graham, a Democrat could not lose an election here if he tried.
Bob Graham if I remember was still getting elected when I thought more of the state was Democrat. In 1978 when I first registered to vote in Florida, (just turned 18), I had registered Republican.......(I'll wait for those that know me to get back off the floor), it had something to do with Nixon ending the war in Viet Nam and since dad had been in Viet Nam in 68-69, I thought that was the party to support. When there was a hard fought election for county Sheiff and the father of high school friends were running, (and not because his daughter was cute and in band, well maybe since I was 18) I couldn't vote in the primary for him as he and the incumbent were on the democratic ticket, actually missed a lot of primary votes until I switched parties in the early 80's.
I do think Bob Graham would have made a great president back in 2000, was smart enough to vote against Iraq, and I think he was one of only 2 that voted against Afganistain. He was the best Gov. I remember down there.
(and spell check still does not work, is it me?)
