The comments there are an interesting spectrum, and if you scroll down pretty far you'll see what I put up late in the day, to quote it:
It's great to see Kos taking the lead on Draft Garcia. We progressives in South Florida have been ignored by national media for a couple decades. The 2008 election cycle will be different. DailyKos will be watching. Swing State Project is watching. Maybe even the Miami Herald will pay attention to congressional races for a change. I put down $5 (may have done it twice accidentally) for Joe Garcia, and why don't a lot of you do the same thing, too?!
Re our party demographics in Miami-Dade County:
Current figures on www.miamidade.gov/elections show a total of 1,071,350 registered voters
Democrats 451,820
Republicans 359,743
No party affil. 214,787So it's a travesty of gerrymandering that we have three Republican members of the US House and two Democrats instead of the other way around -- or even all five Democrats.
This is the year for Democrats around the country to pile on to help us in Miami-Dade and create a landslide.

None of you complained about gerrymandering when the Dems controlled the state legislature for more than 100 year after reconstruction. Please. Grow up Crybaby McWhiny.
I'm pretty old but wasn't around a hundred years ago. Nowadays I think it's always wrong, my friend. There's a ballot initiative circulating that forbids drawing district borders to favor a political party. Let me know if you want a copy to sign. I have.
"Crybaby McWhiny"? Very mature. Makes you wonder who needs to grow up.
