Florida
Related: About this forumYou need to follow this blog about FL politics. It's pretty good and it actually angers me.
Why does it anger me? Reading just how inept this party is. This blog is calling out the leadership of the FDP. There needs to be some major accountability. We need some help reorganizing this party from ground up. I spent a couple hours reading this today and I'm just shaking my head.
At the state level, we have multiple districts that went for Obama and Alex Sink the past 2 elections that have Republican House or Senate members. Unbelievable. This leadership still focuses on North Florida. Get out of North Florida! It's a lost cause except for a couple counties.

would ask me what that "Seahorse-looking thing" was.
It took all I could to say "It's a saxophone"..and not add "you idiot"

(17,064 posts)They will actually fight progressives harder than they will fight Rethugs. DWS actually endorsed a Rethug over a progressive Dem opponent several years ago. I will not give a dime to the FDP.
