'this is why FL politics is so amusing at times.'
Florida politics has been wacky ever since the Spanish 'greeted' the Huguenots at Matansas Creek. How about Napoleon Broward, who got arrested for smuggling to Cuba, and claimed he was helping the Cuban Freedom Fighters. This was not true, but shows that the effect of that island on our politics is not new. In any case, Broward rode his 'heroism' into the Governor's mansion. All of Florida history is full of knaves like him, and Reno for that matter.

Yes, I often thought of Florida history as being very much like a study of Ripley's Believe It or Not!
