To whoever posted this, Thanks. I always knew there was something about the Palm beach supervisor that we did not know. One thing that people also do not know is a bit of strangness in Fla politics. You can not know by how someone is registered and in some cases on what ticket people run on what they really are. Now I am a registered republican and actually am a liberal democrate. I sometimes vote for republicans who I strongly suspect are democrates. It has to do with the election laws in Fl. and how the areas are strongly republican or strongly democrate. If you happen to be registered as a democrate or independent in my area, you just don't get to vote in the primaries as it is rare for a democrate to run and you can't cross party lines. If one is a democrate in this area, there only chance is to rule as a liberal republican. And the reverse happens in the democratic areas. Republicans register as democrates. So I never bought that there was only a mistake because she ran as a democrate. In Fl. it just does not show your true loyalty. Now I kinda get what you mean by the appeal being now. I am doing some reasearch along similar but different lines. If you look at the Bundy murders, the murder of Arronow and others, and look at who is running for election that year, you start to get a pattern.
