Dear Shannon,
First of all, congratulations! As a fellow Florida native â albeit one from the Panhandle, not from the Keys â I am always happy to see a Floridian get the opportunity to influence the course of history.
Of course, such an opportunity comes with certain risks. We saw this with Katherine Harrisâ blundering in overseeing the 2000 election recount, and with the crew from Miami who became the bungling Watergate burglars. Thatâs naming just a couple of times when Floridaâs contribution to the nationâs destiny was to play the fool.
