35. For me it is somewhat pragmatic

I think being a female gives us a leg up especially when talking about choice.

Plus she is known and liked in the panhandle. While she will definitely not win most counties up there, she will pull more votes up there than a mayor of Miami Beach. And it will be a very close race.

But mostly I love her proud democrat, take it to the republicans style. She claims after 20 years of republican destruction we need democrats to fix Florida.
