Rodney Dangerfield is dead? How sad.

Nothing else in the article was important.

No doubt. The fact the orange crush chameleon has any support at all just proves that you can fool a lot of people all the time. I can’t believe that FL race is that close. NY transplants that wanted to get away from NY politics and are now moving FL into what they left behind? Same scenario seems to be taking place in a lot of locales. The old “That’s not the way we used to do it in XXXX so lets “make it better here” by changing it.” Uh, no thanks.

Their vicious ads and personal attacks during debates have made both men appear desperate for power and oblivious to the public's disdain for their tactics or for politicians in general.

While people claim to hate attack ads, the politicians use them because they work.

I wouldn't either, were it not for the fact Obama carried that state twice. We can gin up all kinds of rationalizations as to why some of these races are blowout wins for the GOP, but it comes to the fact this now - center-left country is changing, and not for the better. The accomplishments of governors like Scott Walker and Rick Scott should carry the day, but the demographics are becoming so markedly altered that once-red states (my state of VA included) are at least half populated by voters who, economic prosperity be damned, are going to vote democrat not matter what. Power for their party supplants the good of state or country.

I watched their last television debate and felt sorry for the people of Florida. Crist looked and talked like the professional political weasel he is and Scott, who had a dumb smirk on his face through the whole debate and was barely coherent.

Good luck, Florida

It’s way beyond my ability to comprehend this crap. Well, not really, but, it’s like smacking your forehead with a cinder block.

Ditto... America is in a very weird place right now. This country doesn't know what it wants to be anymore.

That didn’t happen by mistake. I have very little in common with other Americans often times myself, and that’s just with people living here that I actually consider American. The others, I want nothing to do with.

Allow me:

We can gin up all kinds of rationalizations as to why some of these races are [not] blowout wins for the GOP, but it comes to the fact [public education has made] this now - center-left country is changing, and not for the better.

We've bewailed it for decades, but its proficiency as a system is growing and the future promises worse.

It’s a trending LibtardBlue state. Demographics. Of course it’s close.

It started with a law firm that wanted legal pot in order to have pot not be an obstacle to their civil suit business. Then they saw it as an opportunity to have their EMPLOYEE Crist have a possible pothead vote with a joke amendment.

Crist who was a republican, married a democrat when he lost to Rubio, became an “independent” then became a republican.

Quite frankly it is good to have a republican who can give it to the sleaze democrats.

it is close because we have a dead end third party spoiler. (paid) to split republican votes from useful idiots. He is just another democrat.
