If California Is 'The Lindsay Lohan Of States,' Florida Is For Grown-Ups

This native Californian was never prouder of Florida than on Election Night.

While my home state was re-electing every state legislator (i.e., the ones who perpetuate the colossal fiscal mess in Sacramento), Floridians awoke from their Obama flirtation of 2008 and shifted back to the right.

Theresa LaPore is gone, but the Supervisor of Elections' office remains in Democratic hands, and it's still the laughing stock of the state.

Falling behind early this election cycle, Susan Bucher's crew badly lagged every other county in Florida in processing absentee ballots. Then Election Night came, and matters got worse. Palm Beach was still in the throes of collecting ballots hours after virtually every other county had finished and gone to bed.

Alex Sink Tears into the White House
