Actually, if you go outside Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, Democrats in the rest of Florida tend to be more conservative than people think. The counties I mentioned are full of ex-patriates from the Northeast with their very liberal views.

True. And, McLawyer wants those voters. But, frankly, I think another huge block of voters -- those Reno voters who voted for Reno in the primary -- may not end up voting for McLAwyer in the end because McLawyer will not speak to their big issues: gay adoption rights, etc.

You are so right about Florida's Democrats being largely conservative. The press lied...criminally, imho...about Floridians during the election 2000.

Those "hick" counties, the 22 "red" counties in Florida with fewer than 10,000 voters....all but one in 22 voted for BUSH and they are ALL Democrat majority counties with Dem. election personnel..and ALL recounted (as did EVERY county in Florida (just not 2 or 3 times 'til ballots could be manipulated for Gore))- and the HONEST Democrats in the small Florida counties showed mostly single digit changes in the recounts, insignificant. As one Freeper said, "my Democrat neighbors are southern Democrats with family values and don't trust Gore."

Thanks for reminding me, summer. Ooh, our far left Dem. newsmedia isn't going to win...always trying to turn us against one another with their machinations and lies!
