Who cares? I’m just happy to have another Democrat in the race. The fact that he’s a little crazy, but rich as hell, is exciting. Go Jeff Greene

Of Course, and his motives?

I hope you have determined your Return on Investment for this political jaunt of yours.
While it may bring you recognition, you have to earn respect.
Your past will make that difficult.
And your Democratic opposition has been tirelessly working for the People of Florida for decades.
Whatever you are selling, WE are not buying it.
