I have not been in FL since 1989 and never intend to go back. I had to travel in the summer, and FL is not a pleasant place in the summer either. But I probably would have not returned there even had the Schiavo case never happened.
Personally, I like Florida. Spent some of my childhood there, but I've set it off limits. Not giving them my dollars if I can help it. I even hated paying for the hotel when I was there for the rally, but that was for a good cause.
