Damn. It's early, and I've not had enough coffee to suss this completely, but yeah.

Floridians tho are a Special Case – do not discount their ability to out-feel (not out-think) even the most inelegant of reason-bereft candidate-oids. That is, "Sure, he's Mussolini, and of course the trains do not run on time. But what the hell – those cute little boots!"

Nah. Needs more coffee.
