In Jacksonville mayoral loss, lessons for Florida GOP

Republican leaders said over and over in recent weeks that a race for mayor of Jacksonville amounted to the first big Florida fight in the 2012 presidential race.

"The liberal organizers who want to keep the American people enslaved by wasteful spending and hideous deficits need to know that they have jumped the gun on 2012 and have awakened a sleeping giant," Duval County Republican chairman Lenny Curry declared this month before handing a $50,000 check to Republican mayoral candidate Mike Hogan. "We're going to send a message that Florida is red."

Also, Florida Democrats increased their registration advantage by 1736 votes in April.

It looks like some Republicans are changing their registration to independent.

3. "Move on ... plug our holes," says the Repuke official.

Hmm, I guess that means tinker some more with the voting machines. ;-)

4. Republicans need to worry across this country. They will be losing the

womens vote on womens issues alone. Next they will lose because of medicare, medicaid and social security. They will hear democrats across this country. We will not tolerant this overreaching starting with governors across this country. Republicans will learn and they may be out there a long time.
