...Florida is the Bournemouth of the US. Lot's of OAPs
Old Ass People, I'm guessing? Haha, yes, as a Floridian myself and not a member of the {OAP}, I must concur. It seems a second Mason-Dixon line has formed just below Gainesville, as a the great influx of retirees from the North have saturated the lower counties and are now spreading northwards. So, in effect, old those moroons who couldn't punch voting
cards correctly were probably included in the {OAP} U {retired Northerner}. Of course, no offense intended if you happened to be a member of these two sets -- unless of course you also belong to the set {can't understand how to punch a hole on a voting card}.
And, finally, it is speculation to say we cheated. Many things went on down here, one of which was that the media declared Gore the winner before all the overseas (primarily military) votes were in. The Panhandle (which I have the misfortune of being stuck in right now) is heavily populated with military folks, and this population, compared to South Florida, is like comparing oil and
water. I believe the Panhandle carried Bush, while South Florida put up a decent fight for Gore. Fortunately (yes, I voted for Bush), the Palm Beachers in their stupidity of couting partially-torn chads, indented chads, chads with superficial marks that could be seen only through a magnifying glass, could not pull off enough extra phantom votes to resurrect poor old Gore. Damn, that sucks -- there you thought you won.
