Florida = "Old People, Red Necks, And Cubans"
That is a direct quote from a supporter on this board whose name I will not mention of a candidate whose name I will not mention...And it has been repeated with different emphasises...

Here is the Florida census...On (thirty) of (thirty three) indices Florida Florida is almost identical to the national average:

Florida used to be a retirement haven , about forty years ago, now it's one of the best diverse states in the Union...

4. not so. I expect Clinton to be the nominee. Always have.
And i expect her to be a tattered and besmirched candidate in November.

6. "Old People, Red Necks, And Cubans"
Yep - we gots some of them. Also fundies, yuppies, hippies, cubicle dwellers (cubists?), athletes, scholars, thugs, etc. Fla's got a bit of everything.

10. If you're pissed that Fla isn't awarded delegates
then feel free to help get rid of State Party Chair Karen Thurman and the Dems in the Fla Legislature. That's where the blame lies.

11. I Started A Thread Yesterday
The DNC should have punished the Democratic legislators that moved the date, not the voters...In their cowardice they punished 4,000,000 Democrats instead of 50 or so Democratic office holders...
This isn't the Army or junior varsity football where the whole team has to do one hundred push ups because one player messed up...
