Florida Does Us Proud Again!

In his continuing bid to showcase Florida as part of the league of third-world bannana republics, Jeb Bush has done everything legally possible (and I am sure he has also done many illegal things as well) to keep those dark-skinned folk from voting. So, in addition to the usual bullshit, he now has police assualting journalists in public! In fact, in front of foriegn journalists!

This account is the "official version". I like the bit about how he "tripped over his own feet." Notice how the First Amendment does not apply in Florida?

A better account can be found here.

Is anybody else embarrassed by this? How about frightened?

I'm off to do GOTV. If you can, please do so as well. If you can't go, you can go to JohnKerry.com and sign up to make phone calls under "volunteer." You can make as few as five or as many as you want. They give you a script and everything.

We are going to win. Unless they cancel the elections, we are going to win. Big too. The momentum is there. People are voting like crazy, waiting in line for hours on end, in heat and rain. Record early voting nationwide. Record minority turnout (Have you ever noticed how beautiful a multiethnic line of waiting voters is?). Record young people turnout. Record new voter turnout.

George W. Bush will be turned out. One way ticket to Crawford baby!

We are going to win!
