Mar 2014

she never came out and stated what she stood for IMHO. Jeeez, 150 days of mud slinging and not once did I hear, "Hi I'm Alex Sink and I stand for these principles and programs that will help the middle class and the working poor".

Jolly had the audacity to skirt the teabagger opinion and talk like he would be another Bill Young (sheesh, I truly hope not) but we shall see if he's really a lobbiest now.

Another big part of it, the district is gerrymandered all to hell and back, along with the entire state of Floriduh.

I just heard someone talk of Alex Sink running again in November. What is she going to say? "I lost twice and I think I have as good a chance now"?????????

Sadly, this little peninsula is not really a puke bastion, there are many, many lefties but we are left out of the discussion.
