It's a long story, I filed in the Alabama race mainly over a legal dispute as I used to live there, I actually was trying to win the office of Escambia County Property Appraiser as a Republican, as no one else was filing, but was discouraged by the Escambia County GOP Vice-Chair. The way Florida works, I should have been sworn in as Circuit Clerk on January 5th, Pam in theory had more votes, but under Florida law, without minimum signatures she was not a qualified candidate and the way Florida law works, only votes for "qualified candidates" can be legally counted and so legally, I placed first as a write-in in November, should have been sworn into the $150,000 a year job back in January and have even contacted the Ethics & Elections Committee of the Florida Senate on this. That nothing gets done is why I filed for Legislature.

In 2004, Alabama did not have a presidential primary until June 2004, when it was all over, at points in the race I backed Wesley Clark and in the end was for John Edwards to "stop John Kerry" but in 2003 I wrote editorials to the Mobile Press-Register, never printed advocating a candidate, and so most of he "endorsements" are actual votes I cast, but in the case of 2004 will be who my first choice for president was in that year
