Either Mr. Hartmann is ignorant, or he (and Moore) are hoping his readers are. Anyone familiar with rural Florida politics knows they operate on a two party system: Conservative Democrats and Extremely Conservative Democrats. While they are as repulsed by the Mooreons as most Americans, registering Democrat is so ingrained in these communities that I doubt a Republican has ever been elected to local office in most of them. That, not some sinister plot, is the reason heavily democratic rural counties went for W, and why they went for Jeb 2 years ago.

Moore doesn't get it. It's because his candidate sucks, so people vote Bush, and he's partially responsible.

IRRELEVANT GOLEM!

There was a time in Florida, indeed in all the South, that the Dems had it locked up.

If you didn't register Democrat, you didn't get to vote in their primary, and that was the only real vote. The general election was just a coronation of the winner of the Democrat primary.

I spent my childhood in Florida and that was explained to me by my mother back then.

This has been debunked even by some on DU. It boils down to rural counties with registered Democrats who vote Republican. But they have a history of this going back to paper ballots.

Sad, desperate little people.

Exactly. The lefties just can't stand it that so many Democrats voted for President Bush. Not only that, but they don't even understand the demographics. I own land in Franklin County. While it may be rural, there's a large enclave of wealthy residents on St George Island, many of whom are surely conservatives, even if registered as RATs. Not to mention the fact that the mainland natives are very conservative as well.

In Dixie County, with 4,988 registered voters, 77.5% of them Democrats and a mere 15% registered as Republicans, only 1,959 people voted for Kerry, but 4,433 voted for Bush.

These numbers don't add up! Anyway.....these stupid northeast liberals have never heard "dixiecrats"...they'll concoct a cockamainie theory to explain how black conservative Democrats are voting Republican.

I watched a bit of one of his college speeches on C-SPAN. He reportedly gets something on the order of $35,000 to do these. Unbelievable. What a sham. It was like listening to that guy that always gets drunk first and makes lewd comments at parties. For someone that supposedly hates capitalism, he's milking it for all it's worth.

The only Dem county in North Florida is Alachua, where I live. And the Dems are not conservative Southern Democrats, but NE liberals who have moved down here to teach at the university - the hardcore, in other words. Pres Bush visited Gainesville on the Sunday before the election and my county, which has a 2-to-1 Dem ratio, ALMOST went GOP for about the first time ever.

Fuhgeddabahtit, Mikey.
