WOW, congrats. This is huge. Rich is now officially the most powerful man in Hillsborough!

"... most powerful man in Hillsborough!"

Actually, that would be Joe Redner.

Uh, read the story 11:13, is Joe Redner chairing the delegation? There's a new Sheriff in town. Congratulations to Representative Glorioso!

I once read a story about a girl who fell down a hole and ended up talking to a rabbit who had an issue with tardiness. I guess I should have believed that one too, huh!

Whether you agree with his politics or not, Rep. Glorioso is a decent guy, who is more interested in doing the right thing and doing things right for Florida, rather than getting it right for the special interests.

I wonder if he'll push for laws that require that every Florida Primary vote count? Or is he happy with the disenfranchisement of every one of his constituents at the hands of party leaders?

To him, is it just about winning and holding power or are elections where the will of the people are registered in the selection of office holders?

Are voters an expendable appurtenance to this guy's idea of democracy?

A voter - are you stupid or something.

The problem is not Florida law (something of which Glorioso has some control over)

It's the national parties. There's nothing really that Florida can do about it from a legal or statutory perspective at this point.
