Florida Democrat on Early Voting So Far: "This is horrible."
National Review ^ | October 27, 2014 | Jim Geraghty

Posted on 10/27/2014 8:36:12 PM PDT by GOPinCa

This is not what Florida Democrats wanted to read after the first weekend of early voting:

South Florida in-person early voting turnout might have been relatively lighter than expected this weekend, but Democrats for the first time this election still topped Republicans in pre-Election Day ballot casting at the polls in the entire state. This is a slight improvement for Democrats over an earlier report that suggested it was time to panic:

Some Democrats are starting to panic. It’s an understandable feeling. Mid-term election turnout in the big three urban counties is historically abysmal, which is a major reason why Republicans hold every statewide elected office but one.

This is a warning sign for Democrat Charlie Crist.

“This is horrible,” one South Florida consultant told me.

Horrible for Democrats is perfect. Is this the CHANGE they hoped for when they elected Fubar Obama?

Annus horribilis

is a Latin phrase, meaning “horrible year”. ... brought to prominence by Queen Elizabeth II, in a speech to the Guildhall on 24 November 1992,

Why does the Democrat Party still pretend its voting base is made of actual human beings? The GOPe doesn’t care, the media doesn’t care, and anyone who makes too much of a stink about this is quickly turned into 10 more absentee ballots for Democrats.

perhaps Florida Democrats can’t get all that excited about voting for Charlie Crist, since they spent much of the past decade voting against him when he was a Republican.

Never thought of it like that. Good point. (And I hope that is the reason.)

What’s horrible is that we have to massively fight these ashole, moronic cretin Rat voters every election cycle from dragging us down into a 3rd world status.

That was part of the intention of the founders. Freedom isn't free and to keep it
all must engage in decisive battles for our Republic. Almost like chess.,
though, Chess is easy compared to todays politics.

It’s like a garden. If you want to keep liberty, you have to constantly weed out the left before they take over.

Windsor Castle is the oldest occupied castle in the world ...its history goes right back to the foundation of the English Monarchy, to William The Conqueror. Surprisingly, even though the origins of the castle go right back to the 1070s.

In 1992, parts of the castle were burnt to the ground, repairs cost an estimated $40 million.

They were called (kings men) by many of the founders. The warning is in the Federalist papers.
