Rouson voted out as House Democratic Leader






















It was only a matter of time til Rouson imploded. It just happened quicker than most predicted. A bunch of freshman got conned into supporting him by a few vets who only cared what was in it for them.
Rouson was always about Rouson. The dude had one redeeming value, the ability to raise money, that was based on all his other faults, such as his willingness to sell his vote to please donors.
Good riddance.

Here we go again

The top 3 salaries at the Florida Democratic Party exceed $500K, and they can't raise the money for their own overhead. The FDP needs the 15% they take from Senate and House Victory just to keep the lights on ... and to pay their huge salaries.
Rouson was right to go outside the FDP. Senate and House Victory did the same thing when Scott Maddox was chair and the party was on a downward spiral. (Remember the IRS lien against the FDP?) It wasn't until Karen Thurman became chair that the caucuses returned their money to the FDP.


Here’s why it is really awkward that @darrylrouson has been forced out as House Democratic leader.



This is the kind of stupid squabbling over power between elected Democrats and mere party officials that will continue to keep the Democrats weak for several election cycles. Either the party bosses will dictate to people who actually get elected as Democrats or they will serve them. Until the party bosses get their minds right, they will continue to preside over their own private, minority-party, purity parade.





Politics you say?

Top 3 salaries at the RPOF are probably triple that amount. Get with it " here we go again".
