Me: "Or perhaps I'd rather see more seats in the states we hold. I don't mind challenging in the other states, but I'd rather have NY and CA worth less, since our record there is not good. BTW, this year, we've got a good chance of sweeping more seats than anyone would have imagined, even in "safe" districts. I'm praying (and donating) for that to happen."

You: So you’re giving up on the states with the most votes? not a winning strategy

We're not communicating well. We have a good chance of taking more seats in the big states, and trying to do so is a winning strategy, However, I don't mind if those states where we are historically least likely to win are worth less because their illegals and felons are afraid to respond to the census. That's not giving up, just appreciating karma. I'm donating (generously) to quite a few individual races in the big states, which is very far from giving up!

Florida has had a Republican Gov for the last decade, yes Crist is a RINO but he was the GOP candidate.

Florida is a very conservative state with strong support for things like gun rights and low taxes.

Florida has the 4th most congressional seats (25).

And you don’t mind if Florida goes democrat? I’m guessing you work with Powell on the RNC board.
