Today is a busy day, and I am getting a late start, so this will be short and colorful.

First, as we all know by now, the Florida state Senate district that covers Mar-a-Lago will now be represented by a Democrat. A district that Trump won by over ten points has flipped. I have heard that almost 30 state legislative seats this year have flipped red to blue, and none have flipped the other way.

I heard winner Emily Gregory speak last night and she said, during the campaign, her opponent talked about Trump and she talked about local issues.

I think the lesson is clear. While the GOP brings far right MAGA types into the elections, the Democrats should cater to the middle, not to progressives on the Americcan left.

The other thing we learned about the election was that, even while in Florida, the president voted by mail.

I have to run, but I need to remind you that four days ago, temperature be damned, winter turned into spring. And here is some Washington DC proof. Perhaps even more later.
