Is Florida Man the bomber? [View all]

Think about it. They used DWS as the return addressee. DWS hasn't been the DNC chair for a couple of years and she's not in the news much any more, but it seems to me that a Florida Man would be more likely to try to pin the deed on a FL congressperson. Also, the perp seems to be kind of stupid.
