Argue Amongst Yourselves

Citizens,

Ever notice when somebody loses a race in politics, the second its official the fingers start flying? Boy did I notice it, and it was on a STATE level. I was extremely surprised to see how soon the ankles were getting chopped off of some grassroots people, the dog fight amongst bloggers & the massacre occurring between State and Federal associations. That's cool, It was only the last election we will ever have & there is no need to work together so we can overcome this infestation next go round.

People that are fighting out of anger blaming each other to hide the shortcomings of their own campaign & causes obviously didn't understand the uphill climb we had this election. Face the Facts, We didn't have the greatest group of candidates this go round but we ran with it. They were defiantly a group of "Cracker Jack" candidates but they were a million times better than the other side of the tracks. I honestly think that we shouldn't be pointing the blame at each other,the blame has already been laid upon the Piss Poor campaigns and the directors running them. We need to prepare for the next elections. In my eyes this came down to 3 major points. Since I miss Baseball, we are using terminology:

Strike One: Any Political Science student, (Well, I don't want to say any) will tell you that voter turn out in a Gubernatorial year is no where near the turnout of a Presidential Year.

Strike Two:

Vote in GOP primary for governor: 806,123 total votes cast.

Vote in Democratic primary for governor: 469,230 total votes cast.

In the GOP primary in Florida, a foregone conclusion for Rubio, 787,122 total votes cast.

In the Democratic primary, an actual competitive race between Kendrick Meek and Jeff Greene, 489,384 total votes cast.

This alone should have told you that we were in trouble so you better specify who you talk to and you talk to them

Strike 3: Don't End with money. If you're going for Broke, don't be greedy.
Democrat Kendrick Meek raised more than $1 million in the quarter and held more than $4 million at the end.
