"Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar."
Sometimes, the decisions of a State of 19 million citizens have to do with 19 million Floridians and not with somebody in Alaska named "Sarah" or a fat Governor in New Jersey.
For far too many Presidential Elections, the Presidential candidates have spent an inordinate amount of attention and have kissed far too many butts in a state such as Iowa that, no offense Conservativegreatgrandma, is only ONE SIXTH as populous as Florida.
Well, guess what? That's going to change this time around and also for the future.
From now on, and for years to come, Presidential candidates will be wooing my family in FLORIDA and Iowa and New Hampshire will play second fiddle. If, for months, Presidential candidates are going to be kissing butt in a population of 3 million, from now on, they will be doing so in a place called "Miami-Dade County" and not in a place called "The State of Iowa".
Nothing personal, Conservativegreatgrandma. It's just hard ball politics.
If that costs Florida some delegates in 2012, so be it. Check out the Miami Herald blogs in the Sports section regarding the Miami Dolphins. The Miami fans are taking the "Suck for Luck" attitude: Root that the Dolphins lose now so that Coach Tony Sparano gets fired, a decent Coach is hired and we can draft Andrew Luck with the Number 1 draft pick. You make a sacrifice today for a huge payoff in future years.
But, if you want to believe that this is a tin-foil hat conspiracy that is all about Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, knock yourself out.
Before making stupid remarks you might want to get all the info first.
Oh and, btw, WHERE in that quote from my post was there ANYTHING about Palin? Nowhere. You have a fixation on Sarah Palin and I don’t think it’s a healthy one.
I’m not exactly worked up over this. I have bigger things to worry about—like will Sarah run? Only kidding.
