Tonight’s GOP debate
January 24, 2008 at 10:31 am by Wayne GarciaWow, Republicans gathering in tony Boca Raton, now there’s something you don’t see every day. Mizner Park’s nightspots, here they come. Now if only we can hear something about what these candidates would do to help us here in Florida (since, judging by how they talk about Iraq and immigration, they aren’t going to be doing much to help the nation at large). Others agree with the need for some FLA-oriented chat:
“With Jan. 29 just a few days away, I hope to hear about a lot of Florida issues,” said Chip LaMarca, Broward County Republican chairman.
What would they do about a national CAT fund to lower the cost of homeowners insurance? What would they do to help the Everglades restoration? How would they deal with education, since we suck in Florida at learnin’ our young’uns? Would they drill for oil off our coasts? What about ending the ridiculous four-decade-old embargo against Cuba?
I’m not holding my breath thinking we’ll hear most of those questions asked. After all, TV needs ratings, and NBC is moderating. Chances are even great that if you hear those questions asked, you won’t hear them answered, or at least satisfactorily.
