I'm guessing it will be......FLORIDA.

What say you?

1. Nah--Florida is sewed up already under his brother
apparently they have not done a damn thing about correcting their voting discrepancies. Anyone whose brother is the governor of a state with a lot of electoral votes, needs to be suspect. Jeb will see to it that his brother gets the state, believe me.

I don't know how, but I am convinced that it will be done somehow.

It is a corrupted state.

I will not go there and have not gone there in years because of it.

4. could be my own beloved state, after all....'Mall of America'...
seems almost to invite an attack.
believe me, they can lock down that place pretty quick if they get wind of anything.
(the locals, who are competent, I mean. Not the feds, who aren't.)


and after all, it is a supreme symbol of American consumerism....but hey, I love the place.

13. I second that.
Well, I'm hardly happy to but it rather makes sense that the MOA is a target to be made DOA...

"Mall of America" - it's got a gigantic metaphysical day-glo neon pink bullseye painted on it that screeches "ATTACK ME!!!!!!!"

5. Naw, Jebby's got FLA locked up...

As someone very cogently observed in the very detailed thread about the electoral breakdown yesterday (link? Can't find it) "only a total gomer bets on a table he knows is crooked"... They're pulling the same kind of stuff that they did in 2000 again, as we speak- removing thousands of voters (sorry, "felons") from the rolls, etc. etc. I'd like to believe we could get some international observers down there to ensure a real election, but I'm not holding my breath.

9. No idea, but I do know that D.C.
is apparently harboring terrorists. Specifically in the Whitehouse, the 'undisclosed location' and the Pentagon.

12. I really want to be optomistic...
I live in Florida, I've lived here my whole life. I really need to believe that my felow citizens are not as stupid as I think they are. A lot of people that I know didn't vote in 2000, a lot of them work in the theme parks, or at least they did before big 9-11 tourism toilet flush.

There are alot of Florida families with family members in the Reserves. Those families have been repeatedly screwed over, many of those reservists left for Iraq in March 2002 and are still over there.

I have to beleive that enough people now realize, and unfortunatley have experienced first hand, exactly what crappy leadership can do to this country. I beleive that there will be a large enough epidemic of common sense in Flordia to overcome whatever Jeb has planned for November.
