I think that Limbaugh said yesterday that by the year 2020, Florida will have more electoral votes than New York. I didn't know that the exodus was that drastic.

At this rate Florida looks like it will pass New York by 2010.

New York and Ohio are in a competition to repopulate Florida. 250 people a day leave those states (each) to move to Florida.

Yes, it is. But sadly, many of the emigres from NY and MA are moving into my area of central FL, altering the political landscape as their numbers increase.

This is not, in my view, an improvement. It is already showing up in the increased willingness to vote in unnecessary tax increases for the most specious of reasons. At current rates of growth, I give this area about five years. I will be gone before then.

Here in Florida, my town(Port st. Lucie) has 9,000 single family home permits already in progress with 20,000 scheduled for '06. Which doesn't include new business, road construction & condos.

Kerry & Kennedy must be very happy with themselves.
