HERE IS A REAL QUOTE OF THE DAY

"I can't remember a time when there have been that many School Board seats left unchallenged, and over the years there appears to be less and less interest among (potential) candidates in running for the Legislature. It is somewhat distressing to see that lack of interest in running for office. Either they are so content with the way things are or they have just thrown up their hands in apathy."

Polk County Supervisor of Elections Lori Edwards, quoted in this morning's Lakeland Ledger, regarding the fact that three of four incumbants up for reelection on the Polk County School Board were returned without opposition, and three members of the county's legislative delegation --- all Republicans ---got a free pass.
