OK, now that the last REAL Democrat from Florida has been forced out

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

Can we just build a wall across the top of the panhandle and separate that corrupt penis looking state from the country once and for all?

1. no! we need you. eom

2. I'm a huge Grayson fan but there are still a few REAL Dems here-

not many but a few. Debbie Wasserman Schultz for one- even though she made me furious during the Presidental election. Ron Klein is another one. As was Wexler but he's no longer in Congress so I guess that doesn't count.

10. Kathy Castor!!! She's way more Dem than DWS.

And she was reelected tonight.

3. I love OPs that throw all the Dems in one state under yet another bus.

Thanks.

7. That's how I felt in 2004. We need our Dems in Florida desperately.n/t

4. As long as Dappleganger, flvegan, Atticus (I think) and a bunch of other good DUers

can escape first.

And please, when you come for Arizona, let me out first, too?

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

6. Oh, of course we would let them relocate first

I don't blame them for the Bush Crime Family and the DLC thoroughly corrupting their state.

5. A democratic party of one isn't very effective - maybe we should keep some of your fake ones

8. I say we invite Cuba in, like Angola did.

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

9. Well, at least that would keep Rubio busy

He could command the Batista fan club militias against them "invading commie bastards".

[JVS]

12. They would be so pissed off to see those troops arriving. It would be classic.

13. IMO Democrats have a huge future in FL, whose minority populations are growing. Just don't

Just don't split the Florida party agian, don't humiliate minority candidates anymore, and defend Social Security/Medicare fiercely against privatization, and we may be OK there.

On minority vote potential: Hispanics are 14 percent of the electorate, growing, mostly non-Cuban, and even younger Cubans are far less likely to be Republicans than their over-65s:
