Thank you to the Democrats who lost the governor's race... [View all]

"And before his Sharpie runs out of ink, Scott might send notes to all the Democrats who didn't bother to show up and vote.

As it turns out, more of those absent voters are from Miami-Dade than anywhere else: The county's turnout of 40.7 percent was the lowest of all 67 counties — nearly 10 points below the statewide average of 50.5 percent.

Miami is strongly Democratic. That's one more reason why Crist lost (at last count by fewer than 65,000 votes)."
