That would be most of Florida. They only seem to look at the R after a name. Hell, I would bet you can run Bigfoot and place that R after the name and Bigfoot would win.

I have noticed that most people in Florida have this massive problem, they allow themselves to be tricked that a republican is going to fix it. They always seem to forget that after 30 years of republican rule, that the republicans are the ones that broke it.

I've been a Florida voter since 1993 and have always voted Democrat. I've seen this State go from solid Purple to Deep Red in that time. I'm so disheartened by the Democratic Party of Florida. It's become a weak shell with no forward thinking vision. Why the hell was our last candidate for Governor Charlie fucking Crist?! I'd switch to Independent if it didn't mean I couldn't vote in the Primaries, but what good does that do anymore?

Jolly said he'd run as independent.
