If they had any intention of winning elections, they'd all resign. They've been in a hole for years, and just keep digging deeper.

The sitting Chair of the FDP was an employee and lobbyist for ChoicePoint. Remember the 85% inaccurate purge lists in 2000, that threw about 100k Dems off the voting roles? That was ChoicePoint.

Her husband was on the legal team in Bush v Gore. And not on the Gore side.

The previous Chair? Had a lobbying business on the side with the Republican Chair. Threw away a ton of party money into her sons Florida House race. He got shellacked. Wouldn't fund people who could actually win.

Before that? Just plain corrupt and incompetent.
