9. FL and NC are 50/50 states and don't need to be talked down to

I think you need to be talking to hurricane prone GA and SC perhaps?

on this negative baiting

FL has massive vote rigging and suppression issues. Ohio has been better able to knock that back. But the two states are comparable as far as relative numbers of red vs blue voters.

NC has serious voting issues also and an entrenched Rethuglicon machine. It's the classic Rural vs Urban tug-of-war in NC.

--------------

If you really cared, you'd give the people working so hard on the ground in both NC and FL some support right now, instead of your pompous "baaaad states" jive.

Guess what, people in both states are familiar with storm damage & support FEMA (duh).
