When 'More-Of-The-Same' Just Won't Cut It

Tallahassee, FL - With the news today that Florida's unemployment rate is the highest the state has seen since May 1975, the people of the Sunshine State must make the choice: change directions or continue more of the status quo from our state's politicians this November.

"After more than a quarter century as a career politician, what can we possibly expect from Bill McCollum but more of the same business-as-usual in Tallahassee?"  Florida Democratic Party Spokesman Eric Jotkoff said.  "A 20-year congressman and Washington lobbyist will do nothing - absolutely nothing - to change Florida's economy for the better.  We've tried leaving it to career politicians like Bill McCollum to turn Florida's economy around, and they've driven it into a ditch -11.8 percent unemployment."
