Did You Know There Were 25 People Running for US Senator in Florida? By Geniusofdespair

There are 25 people running for U.S. Senate, 8 Democrats and 10 Republicans among them.

Why are we only reading about two Republicans and one Democrat? Why don't we hear about Kevin Burns and Maurice Ferre on the Democratic side? Why doesn't anyone talk about Republicans Howard Knepper and Gwyn McClellan. Did you know there was a woman in the race? Granted, Gwyn's website was one of the oddest I have ever seen but why aren't we hearing about her anyway? After all, we hear enough about her loony fellow Republican, Marco Rubio. What about Howard Knepper, a local boy from North Miami? His website is a little more normal if you discount the video playing "Born Free." Democrats Kevin Burns has a typically expected website and so has Maurice Ferre.

Since the pickings are so slim, tell us about ALL the candidates newspaper editors, not just the candidates with money.
You all have to go to Gwyn's website...really! Here is a sample:

This was on her qualification page:


But this made more sense, also on her qualification page:

Although celebrities and people who are millionaires should have an equal opportunity to run for federal, state, and local offices, it is also very important that our society recognize that being an American who is dedicated to making our country a better place to live for all individuals should be much more important a criterion for running for the United States Senate office than having a celebrity status or being a millionaire. Just because you are a celebrity or that you have a million dollars in your pocket doesn't mean that you have what it takes to make an exceptional senator.

You go girl!

But then sanity takes a vacation...this is also on her website (wow, this website seems like a roller-coaster ride):

Please- do all the candidates. This was hysterical. I went to her website and you were right.

I like the qualification "youthful face". That is something every Senatorial candidate needs.

It's 2010 and look at this list of candidates and yet the MSM can only squawk about Rubio/Crist and a lil bit of Meek. Hell even most blogs are only talking about these 3 candidates. Why? Most likely because these 3 have most of the money lined up behind them. Like almost all elections I've voted in, it will be a case of voting for the "least bad of them.."
