The Florida Vote

Looks like Jeb delivered Florida again. Of course there was some hanky panky like voter roll purging, but the fact is he is a popular Governor and it rubbed off on George. Four hurricanes helped. Old Florida pols say hurricanes are great for office holders because it gives them a chance to show serious concern and work extra hours in front of the cameras and personally declare the need for official help for the victims - the sort of things Giuliani appeared to do so well in NY, until his head swelled again with personal political ambition.

The brothers made sure that George got in on enough of the pictures and it became clear that Kerry, though he visited the scene, had no relatives down there. Another tip for the Dems for the future - make sure your candidate has Florida relatives to visit after the hurricane hits.
