Florida REELECTING a GOP Govenor with the Dims all hot and bothered does not mean to me that they will not reelect Nelson IF HE RUNS.

Florida is one of the last southern states to tranistion to the safe Republican column. Florida is much like kentuckey only a 2 or three years behind. Florida as was Kentucky, once was a Democratic state. Both states have been slowly tranistioning to the Right. The retirees of 20 years ago were 90 percent Democrats. The retirees today are 60 percent Republican. The state is now a Repulbican leaning state. By 2006 it will be more Republican than it is today and far more Republican than it was when Jeb Bush firt ran for office.

Political amatuers tend to think in terms of personalities. But anyone who has taken the time to actually study the politics of the Uninted States will soon understand that it is issuses and political direction that decides the elections .. and only at the margin is the personal appeal of a candidate decisive.

Democrats understand things that those on the right often fail to believe. Hillary knows that she must move to the right in order to win in 2008.

Hillary is moving to the right in order to have a chance to win. She is in the process of changing her positions on the issues... she is not working on beeing a more likeable person. She like Bubba knows what it takes to win.

I don't think you do.
