(12,233 posts)is at this point. Honestly, I still think its way too early for another Bush to try and step into the White House. Also, there are enough stories of how awful FL has become because of his direction.. All those tests for NCLB that teachers and parents are hating were started in FL first with the ole' FCAT. Seems to me that FL was a testing stage for what happened later on to the rest of the country. All those tax cuts for the wealthy, give away's to big corporations for being in the state, all the insurance issues and expenses (the whole No Fault was supposed to be such an insurance savings. It has been the opposite). I honestly don't think they would dare run a Bush yet. I think it won't be until 2016. And the Dem would have to be absolutely horrible.
Its going to be an interesting year anyway. OWS and the spring/ summer spin out is going to make things very interesting. I'm hoping we will see more progressive, pro people instead of corporate candidates running local to house and senate positions. People are paying a bit of attention. People are tired of corporations and wealthy people buying favor and for the rest of the 99% to be screwed royally. I bet there are only a handful of bill that may have passed that favor people, rather than big corp or wall st or banksters or rich people... and many of the "pro-people" legislation that has been touted has also come at the expense of the people like extending Bush tax cuts, the mandatory buy private insurance health care reform act without even the slightest push for a public option.... There's not much that is done by our elected officials that doesn't favor their wealthy donors over the good of the country.
