    Because they have gas? Was that the reason? Just trying to keep up with why anybody would support that dirtbag...

    Good Samaritans bringing food and water were forced to stop and leave the area. They were in the way of a DeSantis photo op.

    Next he will stand in front of a church holding a Bible upside down.

    Florida high school students participating in sports have been ordered to provide the state with information on their menstrual cycles. When did they begin to menstruate? Date of last period? Did menstrual cycles ever stop?

    Young women are rightly saying fuck off.

    Red wave alert: DeSantis up big in governor's race

    10/05/2022 07:08 AM EDT

    Hello and welcome to Wednesday.

    For your radar— While Florida is still dealing with the fallout of Hurricane Ian, one new poll suggests that Republicans — including Gov. Ron DeSantis — could be on their way to a significant sweep in the November elections.

    Double digits— Mason Dixon Polling & Strategy on Wednesday released survey results that showed DeSantis with a commanding 11-point lead over Democrat Charlie Crist: 52 percent to 41 percent.

    Also big margins— That same poll showed all three Republicans seeking Cabinet posts also with double-digit leads: Attorney General Ashley Moody up over Aramis Ayala, 50 percent to 37 percent; Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis leads Adam Hattersley, 47 percent to 37 percent; and Senate President Wilton Simpson with a clear advantage over Naomi Esther Blemur in the agriculture commissioner race, 47 percent to 34 percent.

    A bit of history— Switching back to the governor’s race, let’s put that into context. DeSantis beat Andrew Gillum in 2018 by more than 32,000 votes, or about 0.4 percent. Then-Gov. Rick Scott beat Crist by roughly 1 percent in 2014. If you roll back all the way to 2006, Crist — when he was a Republican — defeated Rep. Jim Davis by a 7-point margin. The last time a candidate for governor won by double digits was in 2002, when Jeb Bush won a second term by nearly 13 percent over Bill McBride.

    Positive territory— This most recent poll — which was wrapped up just as Hurricane Ian was descending on the state — shows that DeSantis has a 55 percent job approval rating. Brad Coker, with Mason-Dixon, does note that number could change depending on Florida’s recovery from the deadly storm.

    By the numbers— The breakdown of DeSantis’ numbers shows that he has a commanding lead among white voters, males and older voters. Crist does have an 8-point advantage with Hispanic voters and a slight lead among female voters. The incumbent governor also has a double-digit edge — 52 percent to 39 percent — with unaffiliated voters.

    What’s coming— Florida’s electorate has been undergoing a significant shift in recent years, a trend that Democrats have generally waved away even as the voter registration showed that Florida was transforming into a red state. National Democratic groups, however, have basically written off the state and have only put nominal amounts of money into the state. This poll is just another sign that the GOP is likely to have wins up and down the board and won’t just win the governor’s mansion, but could expand its grip on the Legislature as well.

    — WHERE'S RON? — Gov. DeSantis is expected to be in southwest Florida where he will meet with President Joe Biden to discuss Hurricane Ian.

    I'm saying the state should fuck off. In fact, the state should be fined for even trying.

    I told you I wouldn't put anything past Floridians. The last time I visited there I was 19 and bought beer in a vending machine late at night in the back of an empty building where no one could see us and no one was around except us three teenagers. Later we got pulled over by a policeman who could see we were drunk and who told us to drive home. At that point we parted company with the police officer.

    It's a flux dynamic. People move all the time.

    LOL. DeSantis's virgin vs. chad look is rather unbecoming.

    Nonetheless......

    https://www.tallahassee.com/story/n...r-election-poll-republicans-sweep/8180152001/

    Ron DeSantis holds big lead over Charlie Crist for Florida governor. Could Republicans sweep?

    TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Ron DeSantis holds a double-digit lead over Democratic opponent Charlie Crist, with Republicans looking poised for a clean sweep of state’s Cabinet offices next month, a new poll shows.

    DeSantis leads Crist by 11 percentage points, winning not only overwhelming support among Republican voters, but also proving the favorite of most of Florida’s always critical, no-party affiliated voters, Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy found.

    DeSantis holds a 52%-41% lead over Crist, with only 6% undecided. Among voters not registered with either party, the Republican governor is ahead 52%-39%, the poll shows.

    The Mason-Dixon results are better for DeSantis than other recent surveys in the governor’s race. Real Clear Politics, which tracks polling, shows DeSantis with an average 5.4 point lead on Crist in all polls.
