Maybe, just maybe, minorities will mobilize now to go to the polls in 2014.
If Dems vote in huge numbers in FL we win!

OP
How do you explain 2010 when Rick Scott edged Alex Sink? Not enough Dems voted.

If we could get a majority that could actually get something accomplished that would be terrific.

(3,676 posts)6. You want ME to explain it to you?
What am I, clairvoyant? How could I explain it?
I believe after the example 2012 election that this state is capable of rising up and voting out those who would oppress the middle and lower classes. I watched it happen.
You can believe it too or you can moan and cry about what happened 3 years ago.
OR, you can volunteer to get out the vote in 2014. Then you won't be sitting idly by and watching Republicans steal our state again.
I double dare you.
