It was in 2000 when Shaw barely won against his opponent. Redistricting removed the only county in his district to vote against him, Miami-Dade, leaving the Broward and Palm Beach portions, which still gave him majorities in that race. Since then, he has won with 61% in 2002 and 63% in 2004. I can only assume that Klein has substantial pull in those two counties to perhaps defeat Shaw, otherwise they wouldn't have recruited him.

Thank you!

Right! He was my Representative here in North Beach. The district was long and thin, stretching along the coast from Boca to here, the northern third of Miami Beach. I never knew the reason behind him not being my congress-critter any more. Now I know. Mucho gracias!
