Today is the primary in Florida...

Sept. 4 - Gov. Jeb Bush is leaving office after eight years, and Florida voters will take the first step Tuesday in deciding whether they want to elect someone who shares his values or a governor who will seek to dismantle some of the Republican's key programs. It's a race that all the candidates say could be a bellwether for the 2008 presidential election, saying that as Florida goes, so goes the nation. It's also an opportunity for the state's once-dominant Democratic Party to quickly get back some of the power it has lost in recent years.

As Gov. Bush Leaves Office, Florida Must Decide State's Direction

Just to read the headline is to fight the urge to regurge. Of the four candidates, only one has reasonably conservative credentials, and his candidacy is probably going to fail. That leaves three who would cheerfully undo the Jeb Bush legacy. The media will sing and dance and crow about "new directions" for Florida, but all they're getting is soiled politicians with bad policy plans.
