Will Marijuana Decide the Florida Governor's Race?

1. Good thread. I have contended for years that pot legalization...

Is like a fumbled football where all the players think it's a dead ball, but no whistle has sounded: One side or the other is going to jump on it and reap big gains. In the case of the GOPers, they can win back some of the younger voters who are turned off to them and politics in general, even as Democrats shiver in their pool of dirty yellow water because they have lost control of culture issues.

Florida is up for grabs. Get beyond the HateSport™ of some DU trollers, Democrats & GOPers NEED Florida. Even small numbers loom large, here.

The Marijuana Policy Project is largely responsible for the "lotto" approach to legalization: Federal efforts are sometimes okay, but the states are where it's at. Get a couple of gussets (states) to crack, and the whole structure around them sags. Several years ago when lotto was the exception and not the rule, one state went legal, and the prohibition edifice crumbled. Oh, that was Florida, too. Want to see the beginnings of serious change on concealed-carry of handguns? You guessed it. For better or worse...
