In 2007, Republican lawmakers with the assistance of some erstwhile Democrats moved the Florida Primary up on calendar. The goal of this move was to recapture a critical role in the Presidential nominating process for Florida, whose mid March primary in both 2000 and 2004 were irrelevant because presumptive nominees had already emerged.

Well, it was a bad night for Democrats in the House of Representatives. While the tidal wave did hit the House, it did not hit the Senate. Still, with most of the results in, we can finally look at how our predictions held up against the so-called “experts”. First, lets look at the House. All …

While to Florida Governor’s race might be the closest, the US Senate race in Florida will be the one that everyone is watching. Rarely do 3rd party candidates do well in Florida. But when that 3rd party (or non party) candidate is the current Governor of Florida, things can get interesting. Months ago, Governor Charlie …
