The Florida Democratic Party’s Amazing Display Of Incompetence

Florida GOP Bobby Olszewski, won a special election to serve as the newest member of the Florida House. His own party was trying to keep him out of office. So was  the Florida Chamber of Commerce and the Central Florida Hotel & Lodging Association. 
-----
Florida Dems didn’t recruit anyone to run. Even though House District 44 voted for Clinton over Trump just last year. 
-----
A Dem named Paul Chandler filed on his own. The GOP accused him of being ineligible to run. Democrats urged him to drop out of the race — and called him “malicious” when he didn’t. Chandler did finally drop out, but only after his name had been printed on all the ballots. So when a brave replacement finally stepped up, he didn’t have money, time — or even his own name on the ballot. Yet despite all that — 44 percent of voters still voted Democratic.
-----
This is why Democrats keep losing. Because, while rallies, protests and petitions are great for rallying the troops,
 if you don’t 
give them candidates to rally behind, you simply can’t win.

Welcome to Florida — where citizens who want good government have to sue for it

For the past few weeks, in a small courtroom up in Tallahassee, Florida has been on trial. It stands accused of denying children of a proper education. The plaintiffs are parents who say they're sick of underpaid teachers, punitive testing and politicians who divert public school money to for-profit companies.  Just last week, Florida finally settled another case where the state was accused of denying children proper health care. It took parents and pediatricians in that case 11 years. But they won. here

Florida GOP Thinks You're An Idiot

    Lewis' ruling was the equivalent of bare-bottom spanking for the entire gang of Republican rock-throwers. Lewis used phrases such as 
cunning, ambitious and
unprincipled men. here
