And even though it took him so long to get elected, he had very good reasons why he was'nt. He always blamed it on kissing the mothers instead of the babies, and the fact that some people claimed he used a certain 4 letter word too much. But as he told the Washington Post "I just hope everybody in Key West who uses that word votes for me. If they do, I'll win in a landslide." And as all things always were with Daddy, he made it FUN! We had so many wonderful volunteers, and we would do crazy stuff, like make the "Captain" fish when our campaign headquarters would flood...
The main thing I remember though, no matter WHO was in office locally or nationally, ecspecially the highest office in the land, when people came to find out Daddy's opinion on this or that he might give you a colorful quote, but his bottome line was "I LOVE MY COUNTRY, RIGHT OR WRONG". So on that note, I hope everyone reading this voted, and I'm sure I'm not the only one that will be glad to see this election behind us...
