...world. Living in makeshift shacks lacking running water and electricity, the majority are undereducated and depend completely on the tiny amounts of money created from their harvests. Without a government to protect their welfare, the fight to survive and feed their own families inevitably leads to falling under the power of the guerillas. It is an unwanted, yet inevitable, event...
...right hand still has enough punch to knock opponents into the next Olympiad.

Florida has a long tradition of diffusing power among its chaotic grid of ethnic and social groups, making its voters perhaps the country's most pragmatic--the first hypercentrist electorate. Jeb Bush found that out when he ran an ideological campaign in 1994 and lost, then in 1998 became a compassionate conservative like his brother...
