Correction ... what about 20% of southern Florida is talking about this week (fingers crossed):
It's time to vote!
Tuesday the 26th is the (closed) primary election (meaning you have to vote your party affiliation). All the really good stuff is coming in November (for instance, there's an incumbent governor who's being potentially unseated by a former governor who switched parties as his political affiliation "evolved" over time ... and an amendment to legalize marijuana all relevant in ten weeks), but first a number of local issues have to be decided ... including an ignored party faithful governor candidate trying to unseat the above mentioned ex-governor party bagger (reminiscent of the carpet kind circa Reconstruction, not the tea kind circa Fey/Palin) and a former porn star looking to make it to the local school board (and, with warning that, even though I'm a bit twisted, I can't make this stuff up in that one of his performances was in a film entitled 'Entering the Student Body').
When I announced my top 12 list for moving here back on 12/12/13, reason #5 was "I want to live somewhere where my vote counts" (meaning Illinois was a foregone conclusion and Florida was hotly contested). So I'm quite looking forward to Tuesday!
