But as they wait for Friday morning's verdict, Florida has more than just Wuerffel and Hilliard to thank.

...turnout was light, the politicians can read between the lines. You see, we've hired a lame-duck President and a Republican Congress, each of which is unwilling and unable to work with the other.
