"Florida is the asshole of America."
"Why do you say that, Jerry?"
"Look at it, it's even shaped like a big turd."
                                             
You have to give Jerry that and I'm sure you're glad I shared it with you.

Jerry's evocative description has come to mind as, for the second presidential election in the last four, Florida still has not determined a winner. We recall hanging chads and Bush v. Gore. Florida held up the identity of the new president for 36 days in 2000. If the 2012 election had been as close as the pundits had predicted Florida would have done it again.

Why has this happened twice in the same state--and only in that state--in the last four presidential elections? Jerry has an answer.
