Politics and Presidential elections!
It doesn't matter that election day is many many months away ... it's begun. I know this for sure, because, on the Facebook, folks have already started talking about pruning friend lists and taking a FBvaca until, you know, 2017. [Me ... I *like* being connected to people that represent all different points on the continuum, because that makes it much easier to keep track of the crazies of both extremes AND I don't have to watch the politicized talking head shows seeing as how the talking points just get mindlessly regurgitated by those incapable of independent thought.]
In particular for these environs. the talk of late is whether a Bush-Rubio ticket (note the junior position for the junior candidate) would be constitutional, seeing as how both reside in Florida (see the links for explanations as to how "it's possible but not likely and would involve more fun electoral college math that might even send the VP decision to the Senate" from some individuals who are much smarter than I am).
I've said before on this very blog ... I so enjoyed my dozen or so years in wonderful Chi-town, but one of the reasons for the move to Florida was for the political intrigue that goes on in this state (and to feel like my vote actually counts).
Let the games begin!
