I know this is anecdotal but all the Floridians I've spoken to believe that Crist is the perfect candidate to win in the general election.

He's for lower taxes, has a proven record as Att'y General for being a harsh prosecutor for all who engage in any form of child abuse, and basically supports the Bush agenda (Jeb, I should add for all non-Floridians).

Relative to his running mate -- who cares? John Nance Garner, Vice President of the United States, is famous for saying that the vice presidency isn't worth a bucket of warm piss.

Here in FL we feel pretty much the same way.

Well, I'm in FL, too, and with all due respect to your opinion -- I care very much who is the running mate. Gov Jeb Bush selected a woman to be Lt Gov for his 2nd term, and that choice made history, as it was the first time a woman in this state ever served in such a high-level position. And, I thought Toni Jennings, a former teacher and business owner, did a great job as Lt Gov.

But, now, to have a black woman who is qualified, and a vet -- well, we are making history again, here. And, to me, that is very exciting. I think all women voters will now take an extra long look at the GOP gov ticket, no matter where those female voters may be in the political aisle.

So, I think it does matter.
