FL-18, FL-25: Bushraiser II

That's Ileana Ros-Lehtinen making out with Bush.

Here's Lincoln Diaz-Balart, the incumbent in Florida 21, trying to give Mr. 22% a terrorist fist bump:

Lincoln's brother Mario, who holds the 25th, has somehow lucked out. I couldn't find any pictures of him and Bush. And there won't be one today, either, when Bush is down in South Florida raising money for Ileana, Mario, and Lincoln. They've got a busy schedule to keep, like getting their hair done, and ... umn ... those other things that they'd rather do than be seen with the President of the United States.

But they are all good pals. So here's what we want to do. Check it out (click on the "+" sign to zoom in tighter):

That big red district in the southern tip of Florida is FL-25. That's the one O2B candidate Joe Garcia will win. To the east of that district are two slivers of districts, FL-25 (which is not even contiguous, which includes South Beach and extends all the way down to the Keys), and Fl-21, which hugs the northeast corner of FL-25.

Won't it look nice to have most of Florida's southern half in Blue? Bush doesn't want to see that happen, which is why he's down there raising the big bucks. But we do want to see that. We want to break the GOP, and there's no better way to break the Florida Republican Party than to strip them of these three seats.

We're trying to get both Joe Garcia and Annette Taddeo to $50,000 in the O2B page. Let's send a message to Bush that, well, it's time for him to slither away once and for all.
