Florida Democrats: you have to get out and vote ... by gimleteye

The blogsphere is filled with opinions why Democrats won't vote in November. It would be a big, big mistake in Florida where the Jeb Bush stand-in, Marco Rubio, could be elected to represent the "new" face of the GOP. The corporate sponsored Tea Party and related 527's are rushing Rubio forward in Florida. So who to vote for? The crazy scary 538 Blog in The New York Times gives Kendrick Meek a shocking 1.3 percent chance to win. So if you are Democrat and understand the cost of Marco Rubio in the US Senate, you have no choice but vote for Charlie Crist on November 2nd. You also have no choice but to vote for Amendment 4, to change the Florida constitution giving voters a direct chance to participate in changes to local development plans. Florida Hometown Democracy is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Floridians to express their opinion on the pattern of suburban sprawl that pulled Floridians down during this economic recession. Vote for Amendment 4 to break up the corrupt relationship between local city and county commissions and their big campaign contributors from the Growth Machine. They ran the economy off the rails: Marco Rubio is their guy.
