Hey, remember when the Charlie Crist–Marco Rubio fight was going to tear apart the Florida Republican party?
Right storyline, wrong party.
After more than an hour of heated discussion, the Palm Beach County Democratic Executive Committee voted to send a “brisk” letter of disapproval to Democrats (from left) Aaronson, Sachs and Vana for endorsing Republican-turned-independent Charlie Crist in the U.S. Senate race.
Carole Pollack was inducted as a Palm Beach County Democratic precinct captain Thursday night. Less than two hours later, after listening to party members shout each other down and seeing several walk out in protest, Pollack herself was storming out of a Democratic Executive Committee meeting in West Delray saying she might never return.
Pollack witnessed an intramural Democratic bloodbath over whether the party should take action against Democratic County Commissioners Burt Aaronson and Shelley Vana and state Sen. Maria Sachs for bucking the party and endorsing Republican-turned-independent Charlie Crist in the Nov. 2 U.S. Senate race.
Committee members who stayed to the bitter end rejected a motion to censure the elected officials but voted to authorize a committee to send a “brisk” letter telling them of their disapproval.
Hey, Florida Democrats, we don’t want to see you go away from this election cycle mad. We just want to see you go away.
See, now conservatives have a good reason to like Charlie Crist.
The last success the Democrats had in the State house was stealing the election from Jeb. Since they stole that election they have been hapless. It is mind boggling how the Republicans have wiped the floor with the Democrats on the State level. The Crist can win and Meek is doomed story was almost guaranteed to rip the Democrats up. They are bewildered and have been driven back to their strongest districts and are trapped there. When you are in your last castles and the "barbarians" are all surging and howling around your walls you begin to blame each other for your loses.
Another problem for the Democrats is that Republican rule in the State has been competent and effective the people of Florida are getting used to the idea of having Republicans running things. Florida may cease to be a swing state soon. The Democrat party in Florida has nearly been reduced to recent arrivals from the North East and African Americans....good times
