Negron Signs Going Up

The First District Court of Appeal ruled that signs can go up saying a vote for Foley is a vote for Negron, if they also say a vote for Mahoney is a vote for Mahoney.

The appellate court both upheld and reversed parts of the lower court which granted an injunction stopping signs from being posted in polling places in counties in the 16th Congressional district.

The order prohibits the Secretary of State from posting its signs, which only mention Negron for Foley. The Judges said those signs "suggest favoritism on behalf of the Republican candidate."

Waiting to hear whether or not Democrats will appeal.

So a Vote for foley is a vote for negron and a vote for mahoney is a vote for mahoney, but a vote for buchannan was really a vote for Gore?

I love Florida.

This is a very good thing. We are going to win this one, bank on it. Our voters think, they don't just emote.
