I've stayed silent much of this election cycle, choosing instead to enjoy the anxiety of many incumbents as unknown candidates picked them off at the primary and stand to do the same during tomorrow's election.
Don't get me wrong. I'm more than slightly horrified over just who may find themselves in positions of political power Wednesday morning, but then, I've had that feeling now for years.
Of particular interest to me is the Florida Attorney General race. Seasoned politician Dan Gelber appears perplexed over his current situation, polling under Pam Bondi, a former prosecutor who (in my opinion) appears quite unprepared for the position.
Gelber has been no friend to certain families in Florida, thanks to a certain lobbyist who has captured his attention with misinformation over the many years Gelber was in the position to effect change. So, part of me enjoys the reality of disgusted voters slapping him in the face.
But then we have Bondi, who failed the character test some time back after hauling a Louisiana family into court as a means to keep the Katrina dog she adopted from returning home to its Louisiana family.
Quite the choice.
If Gelber pulls off this race, I hope he remembers that real people who have committed no crime are effected--often quite harshly--by Florida law.
If Bondi is the state's next AG, at the very least, her predecessor Bill McCollum is out of politics.

we'll have to hope to sex-educate gelber. bondi would be VERY bad news. On this note, isn't the timing of the elizabeth smart trial interesting? Like holding it on a back burner til we needed some popup attention to those child molesterers.
Pam will be 100 times more likely to put someone in the fat fryer.
I see the video of Bondi.. BYTCH BYTCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jesus H. Christ! how in the hell can the people of Florida even think of her as a future AG!?!?!?!
If she were a man I would wear steel toed boots just for an attempt to kick her in the sack!! BYTCH!
Gawd, that makes me angry!
Bondi is ill-prepared for this position, we would be relying on her judgment for the entire scope of the legal system. Her judgment is aweful!
Florida deserves better, even if the voters are too stupid to realize it.
Vote for Dan Gelber for AG.
I can't believe the Gelber campaign waited so long to put the dog out...:(

Tried to tell em months ago.
Looks like Bondi is in. Can you believe it?
It sucks to be a Floridian this morning.
wow. You guys are screwed. I thought having the 'old guard' back in Texas was bad. The voter in Florida must LOVE being bent over.. Sorry, but the good news is she won't last forever.
we're fucked. end of story. I also believe this is an indication of statewide Supervisor of Elections corruption but it's not all bad read troxler's column .. we still have some avenues. Damned few with bondi around.

bondi's going to start a GANG INITIATIVE. WOW. She's a go-getter. She's already been running a gang with ober and robert o'neill for YEARS> I'm not sure there IS another gang that's not in florida already. She's ambitious as hell. A gang of bitches according to the women who had her sticker on their cars. yick.
