Florida Megathread

[sg0508]

Similar to how people question why the democratic party in AZ can't make a dent in a state where the hispanic population keeps growing, the statewide GOP in FL is far, far stronger than the statewide democratic party.  Despite the fact that on a national level, FL actually is a 50/50 split (maybe even with a slight, slight bluish tint to it), locally and statewide, the democrats don't match up with the republicans.

The state of Florida's Democratic Party continues to show its ineptitude.  Before long, Crist is going to become Michael Dukakis, who got defined early and often in the race and never really recovered. 

Charlie has other things to overcome, including the whole flip-flopping parties.  This should be an easy victory for the Democrats, but as I saw in the years I lived there, only Florida Democrats know how to blow races like this.
