135. SHOUTING has never won me over.
Want to convince me that your opinion has merit? Speak politely. Speak respectfully. Speak with civility.

If I wanted to immerse myself in impolite, uncivil, and discourteous rhetoric, I would join the Tea Party.

As for Kendrick Meek, I find myself in a real pickle. One the one hand, I've voted straight party line all but once during my life. On the other hand, I don't think Kendrick has a snowball's chance of winning, and Rubio is just... well... dangerous.

There's a real danger in casting a vote for Kendrick Meek. Such a vote may well end up helping Rubio get elected. This dilemma has a lot of my friends doing some real soul-searching.

For me , what it finally comes down to is this analysis:

If Kendrick endorses Charlie, almost everyone supporting Kendrick will break for Charlie. Charlie wins.

If Charlie endorses Ken, half will break for Rubio, half for Kendrick. Rubio wins.

But there are not going to be any endorsements, probably.

Kendrick Meek can't win.

So do I want to win: Charlie Crist, or Marco Rubio?
