Good for you for getting the h*ll out of Dodge. I was born in Ft Liquordale but it is no longer very pleasant down here. Childhood in 1970s, young adult 1980s etc. I hopefully will be moving to north FL in the near future.
I think all the Blue Dog Dems in N and central FL go for McCain.
Hope you get out soon - you'll love the slow and easy lifestyle here - reminds one of how it used to be down south.
