      Yeah, I agree. Florida is kind of a lost cause right now because of all the more conservative retirees moving in all the time. Texas is at least getting bluer.

    The Florida DNC is full of double agents. That’s why it can’t ever not fuck itself over. Florida is a top state when it comes to under handed bs.

    It’ll be interesting to see how Debbie Powell campaigns against Rick Scott. Her early messaging is pretty weak, and her team is obviously trying to tie her in to the abortion amendment that might make the ballot (which is probably a mistake).

    But there’s a lot to dislike about Rick Scott, so they have room to grow into a coherent message. Which would be a nice change of pace from the Florida Democratic Party, which can never seem to get out of its own way.

    She faces very long odds in general, but especially given the party migration that’s happening in Florida the last few years. Here’s hoping she can put up the good fight and make Rick actually work for it for a change.

      Yeah, when I lived in Florida NONE of the races had good Democrats. They weren’t even Democrats half the time: Crist was a registered Republican until 2010. Fuck I’m glad I escaped that shithole.

      At least it’s not that bad this time. No idea how she’s gonna go over in Miami, which may prove to be a weak spot depending how her campaign sells her, but at least she’s not quite as weak as Ol Chuckles.
