I don't know if you caught the Liz Sidoti story over on the AP Wire. It's worth a read if you haven't.

First, I'm not sure I've seen just a whole lot of other places where the current reality-based economy is equated with Election 2006 politics. I know it's been Iraq-slash-terrorism at the top of the list for everyone. Sure, we can dig it, but doesn't it seem that there might be some traction on this issue for Democrats? Maybe even possibly very strong traction? There are a lot of people hurting out there.

I mean, for crying out loud, the first quote of the story is from a "now-and-then merchant peddling his wares." Good grief.

We'd like to tell you about a local candidate running for the Florida State House in District 69 (Sarasota and parts of Manatee), and why we strongly support him.

To put it simply, Keith Fitzgerald (www.gofitzgo.com) is not just a different kind of candidate, he's a stellar candidate. We know. We've been there, walking neighborhoods with him, going to events with him, listening to him talk to Floridians. He's good. Watching a candidate for office work hard and make all the right moves is fantastically refreshing in this day and age of what we describe (embarrassingly) as glam-rock politics. There are far too many politicians today who are far too willing to make a name for themselves by doing things that are either fantastically outside the mainstream or just outright unethical. Keith is working hard on the fundamentals that makes politics at a local level very interesting and even - if you can believe it - enjoyable.
