    My dream vote goes to Pete B. Though I’d guess they save him for a Presidential run.

      Pete has dropped his ice cream in every race he’s been in. He’s snakebit for some reason that I can’t reckon, and I’m not sure it’d be wise to run him unless he can really show that he’s figured out a secret sauce to get people engaged. Not a bad vp pick, though.

          That whole “yes I want to take your guns bit” is a really bad look.

          That could be more an advantage with those on the left than it is a detriment for the bigots on the right or the middle. It is a valid point, though.

        He’s a pretty amazing off-the-cuff orator, however. He’s be great in a VP debate.

        Regrettably he is far too smart and not politically savvy.

          Yeah, he’s a policy nerd. I like policy nerds, and I’m mostly happy with the job he’s done in the FDOT, but policy nerds don’t tend to fare well in our elections.
