It used to be a swing state, now it's dead-red. Maybe Democrats have just given up?

I fled the state in 2005 because it was too damned conservative for me. It's gotten nothing but redder and dumber since.

Florida is where all the northern and mid-western right-wing idiots run out of road on their way south. It's a target rich environment for conmen.
