Tell me to elect Mitch Daniels AGAIN for Governor saying the he "has improved our lives", I have never had such a displeasing vote, I felt awful after I voted for him. He is making Indiana even poorer than it already was! \n\nI cannot not stand what he has done to our state. He went to Japan to get more jobs for us, but came there in a cheap jacket and ball cap, that is very disrespectful to them, because you have to dress up with the proper attire and be serious. \n\nAlso, if they would completely ban stem cell research and other things that could benefit our society (which they are trying too... might want to be neutral now.)

Florida is great....Miami area even better!  Except for the obvious hurricane or 2...:)\n\nI live in CT currently, but lived in South Florida for 13 years before coming back home to raise my small children.  There is a huge difference between South FL and good ole CT!  It took me 3 entire years to adjust to the difference.  But my husband and I talk every day about when we will move back...the public school system is very over crowded and we want our children to get the best education they can possibly get.  BUT we will return.\n\nThe weather is amazing!  Don't let anyone tell you it is too HOT in the summer....it is actually hotter here in CT in the summer because of the humidity.  In FL, especially South Florida, there is always an ocean breeze.  It is very hot in Florida, but it is just as hot in CT....the main difference is that it is hotter longer in FL.  But just like we do in the winter up here, in FL on those super hot days you go from air conditioned house to air conditioned car to air conditioned job...etc.  It is hard getting used to wearing shorts and tank tops while you are singing Christmas carols and shopping with Santa ringing the Salvation Army bell.  And it is very humorous when the native Floridians break out their sweaters and mittens and scarves when the temperature drops to a freezing 50 degrees. The weather is a definate PLUS if you enjoy sunshine and blue skies and big white fluffy clouds.  It rains almost EVERY day for 20 minutes or so, usually around 4 or 5 pm to cool things off.  It only brings out the bugs so bring your repellent!\n\nThe bugs are icky in FL!  Mosquitos are the size of small air planes and literally leave bruises when the hit you (kidding, lol), and there are 2 kinds of insects that I never heard of until I moved....sugar ants are tiny, itty bitty ants that are attracted to everything and impossible to control unless you use an exterminator....they are a nuisance but that is it.  And the toally disgusting sea lice, but if you don't like the ocean than that won't be a problem.  I love to dive so I hate them but hey, you find remedies and they work....I guess.\n\n I am not sure about the job situation for a business professional but I do know that South Florida is growing at a very fast rate!  Real Estate is quite expensive, but the cost of living is not as much as good ole CT.  You actually receive money in your paycheck and don't give the whole "kit and kaboodle" to Uncle Sam.  The night life and entertainment in South Florida is amazing!  The food is superior, Hollywood has taken a serious interest in South Beach....etc.\n\nI could go on and on about FL vs CT as I lived it!  Please, if you have any questions or concerns or if you think that I can help your transition in any way , feel free to email me!  Click on my avatar and you can get my email address.\n\nI love South Florida....let me know if I can help out in any way.

Well i don't mind him too much, when comparing him to the others on offer. Yes he has made some poor decisions, but there are good things here. Fairly low inflation, the best 10 year average interest rates ever, and lower unemployment than the last shower could offer us. \n\nThere are of course things to dislike, for me it would be the problem of immigrants spiralling out of control, and although i don't mind having allies, are we now just a bit too cosy with the usa?

I don't know alot about politics, but the more I see you extreme people (both sides) post, the more I think every one of you is totally nuts.\n\nAnd to the person who called Amyza29 a conservative cracker- from everything I've ever seen that redneck put on here, I think she already knows that she is one.  And FYI, as one of her fellow native Floridians, we don't take that as an insult.

because basically in florida jeb bush (bushs younger brother) is the governor. you would think that the state of florida would have bush's back but they dont. so basically when they start counting they see that the voted were going for the other person and jeb bush wouldnt have it and basically made them recount. like gore got tired of it so he just ended it when he should have really won. florida is just a messed up state with messes up officials and i am glad i left!

Well written article.  \n\nHaving just sold a home in the town immediately north of Port Charlotte, I can tell you that the market there has gone flat.  We were able to sell because we put a realistic price on our house.  The 1/2 dozen others on OUR STREET that were for sale when we put ours on the market remain on the market today.\n\nThe woods across the street from our old house are being turned into homes that are selling for upwards of $500,000.  Mind you, the same builder was selling the same houses in another development 2 years ago for 1/3 of the price.  I wish the new owners luck in being able to afford homeowners & flood insurance.\n\nAll over the area in Sarasota & Manatee counties the market has gone flat.  Too many people trying to cash in on the post hurricane demand for existing homes.  Made everyone's property taxes go through the roof.\n\nWe moved out of Florida, to a part of the country where you can still afford to live.

When you say Bush are you refering to Florida Governor Jeb Bush?  He sems to be preparing for it fine, calling out the national guard before the storm hits, preparing state emergency workers.  Thats what the governor of a state is supposed to do.  \n\nUnless you are from Louisiana, then you do nothing and blame the President when things go wrong.

Oh how I *wish* I lived in your county (I live just across the bay) so I could vote against Pombo!\n\n#7 in Rolling Stone's list of "10 Worst Congressmen."  That's some accomplishment!  (See source.)\n\nIt's going to be neck-and-neck with Jerry McNerney.  (I've checked him out, and McNerney is a good guy.)  Get out the vote, my friend!

I couldn't stop cheering last night! I think he's an awful person, in general, and he surely doesn't represent me or my values, so yes, I was quite happy he lost his job. In addition, I really like Bob Casey. His family is from my hometown, and they really are good people, so I feel like we got a double blessing. We ousted a total jerk, and elected not the lesser of 2 evils, but a really decent man who I think will work hard for us.\n\nI loved how huge the margin of victory was, too! 60%-40%

He is getting the job done!  Did you ever stop to think that people are leaving because of Canadian Jen?  She is not doing a good job.  Eveything around her must cater to the pit of Michigan Detroit!  There is pleanty of more Michigan rather than Detroit!  DeVos will be able to meet most of our needs and turn this state around to get back on its feet.

The latter. Vote for Gore. He should have won, anyway. GW's brother Jeb had other plans in Dade County Florida.

I agree, Florida sucks. it's hot, humid, and there are too many hurricanes. but when i'm hanging out with my friends i don't really care about that stuff. I do think there is somthing in the water though..... maybe the presidentail votes from 2001

Just heard a blurb on the news the other day stateing that Fla. is at the top of the list for home repo`s. Oh and by the way, have`nt heard of any UFO sitings recently, but the aliens HAVE landed!!!! And "Mopar", they`re not palmetto bugs. They`re COCKROACHES!!!!!!!!! All silliness aside, although I reside in Fla. You could`nt pay me to live in most of the hubbles they`re throwing together down here. I`m still scratching my head wondering why anyone would construct a domicile of wood in a region infested with insects that have this material as their only food source. These are the same people that are building multimillion dollar houses on "marshes". Ya`ll know what marshes are. Most of the rest of the country call them swamps!!!!  The idiots building on the ocean are`nt any better. A small contingent of ocean front owners in Ponte Vedra want the state to pay to rejuvinate their erroded beach. I say, why should I pay for it. Sorry but you built on "SAND"!!!! Mother`s gonna take what`s hers. Sometimes with a vengence. Regarding the people coming in droves!! Be prepared for road rage, the traffic already SUCKS!!!! And there aint no relief in site!!!  RED HOT? Yeah all tempers!!
