	Florida Democratic Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Florida Democratic Party is the official organization for Democrats in the state of Florida.
		Florida's Governor's Mansion was closed to Republicans from 1877 until 1967, when Claude R. Kirk, a Republican from Jacksonville, was sworn-in as Governor of Florida.
		Florida politics was largely dominated by the Democrats until Nixon's Southern Strategy, which took advantage of white objections to the advances of the American Civil Rights Movement resulted in a regional political realignment for the south.

	Al Gore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gore was the Democratic nominee for president in the 2000 Presidential election.
		Critics have argued that the Governor of Florida, Jeb Bush (brother of George W. Bush) and the Secretary of State of Florida, Katherine Harris, did play a part in ensuring that the state was in the red column of the Republicans come election day.
		This happened before the polls closed in ten Florida counties in the heavily Republican western panhandle which are in the Central Time Zone, and thus closed at 7 p.m.

		Just as many in Washington dreaded the prospect that the Iowa screamer would take the helm of the party, prominent Democrats in Florida were aghast after Maddox threw the state party's DNC endorsement to Dean.

	Florida Democratic Party
		The Democratic Party is opposed to JEB’s proposal because it will change the voter approved Class Size amendment and force parents to have to choose between a better education for their children and a pay raise for the teachers providing it and there is something morally wrong with that.
		Perhaps, the most important difference between the Rs and Ds is that the Democratic Party’s members truly and honestly believe in helping people do better for themselves and the Republican Party’s members want absolute power to force other people to live their lives the “conservative” way.
		And as a Democrat, I believe that the way you get someone elected is to work with people united behind this common belief and build coalitions with groups and organizations to mobilize enough voters to elect her.
