Madfloridian's Journal
Caution is best, Carol Fowler. You just never know about some of these good old boys down here. Heck, they might even sue your state.
 Who, if anyone, will party with Democrats? A four-state axis of conventional evil That kind of attitude by states smaller than some Florida counties naturally has some Democrats a tad perturbed. Senate Democratic leader Steve Geller last week called them "four terrorist states. You know, the axis of evil." South Carolina Democratic chairwoman Carol Fowler, who played a lead role in drafting the DNC rules and candidate pledge not to campaign in Florida, said she feels bad about this, really she does, but everybody knew the rules from the start. "I like Florida, and I love to go there, but I'm afraid to go down there right now. I'm afraid people might shoot me," she quipped. You are always welcome in this state as far as I am concerned. But I simply don't know about the others. However, Carol, you are in good company. They don't want Governor Dean coming for a fundraiser week after next. Even though it would benefit the state party. Here are two who said he was not welcome. Geller: Dean is only welcome in some areas of the atate Senate Democratic Leader Steve Geller, who on Wednesday labeled Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina “terrorist, rogue states” for coercing Democratic presidential candidates not to campaign in Florida in advance of its Jan. 29 primary, on Thursday announced he will not be attending a Tallahassee fundraiser held by the head terrorist himself, Democratic chairman Howard Dean. “He’s welcome in certain, small enclaves of the state,” Geller told the Q. “If you don’t have something nice to say about someone, you shouldn’t say anything at all. Therefore I will not go.” And then there's Mike Suarez, chairman from Hillsborough County. Hillsborough DEC chair says Dean not welcome in Florida. Laughs at him Meanwhile, the primary controversy isn't keeping Howard Dean away. He's scheduled to be in Tallahassee Oct. 9 for a $100-per-person fundraiser. (Suggested amount..not required) Hillsborough Democratic chairman Mike Suarez burst out laughing at that news Tuesday. "I'm not too sure that he's the best person to be doing fundraising in Florida at the moment," Suarez said of Dean. But look at it this way, Ms Fowler. They haven't threatened to shoot him yet, just sue him. Maybe you could slip into the state quietly. One thing...please don't assume we are all like that. You are most welcome here.  |
