David Pleat to announce for state house seat District 7

[MommaMia]

David Pleat, a Destin attorney and business owner and Walton County resident, will announce his candidacy for Florida House of Representatives, District 7 in the upcoming 2010 election. The announcement will be made at the Walton County Democratic Party?s quarterly meeting on Thursday, August 27, 6:30 PM, at the Walton County Library Coastal Branch.

?As a practicing lawyer and businessman with 24 years of experience running my own law firm and title company, I have gained an invaluable understanding about what is at stake as we navigate these complicated economic times. I am now at a point in my life that I believe I can make a practical difference in my community by running for the District 7 House seat in 2010,? explains Pleat.

The House District stretches south and west to Okaloosa and Walton Counties, northeast to Jackson, Calhoun and Liberty Counties, and east to Bay, Wakulla, Leon and Gadsden Counties. Pleat, who is the only Democrat who has announced at this time, plans to visit local leaders and citizens throughout the District over the next few months to listen to their concerns about Florida?s future.

Cool. Finally something to do. I thought his wife was a Republican.

So his wife is a Republican. Why would that make a difference?

He is going to be working on convincing a majority of people to agree with his political philosophy. Yet he has been unable to convince the person he lives with to go along? Me and my wife do not agree on everything. But we are not nearly that dissimilar. I like to think I have had some impact on her over the last 25 years. Of course now all the women will applaud her for her independent thinking.

OOOOhhhhh Boy, you really stepped in it big time on this one. I'm outta here.

Other than the fact that you're just trying to stir the pot, I'm still not sure what your point is?

If he were a Republican and she were a Democrat would that simply mean he was a bad Republican for not having his wife "fall in line"?

Maybe, just maybe, they are able to have opposing political view points and remain married.

Do you think they both vote? Wouldn't they just cancel each other out?

Do you think they both vote? Wouldn't they just cancel each other out?

I hate that expression -- like married people have to agree on politics. In the big picture, about 96% of votes cancel out in any close election. Voting is voting, and I believe women were given the right to vote in recognition of the fact that sometimes they have their own thoughts and opinions.:roll:

Bdarg and I had a "mixed" marriage politically speaking for many years. We still don't agree on everything, but we tend to have the same general ideals now- we are on the same page but still argue the finer points.;-) It would be pretty dull to be married to someone who has the same exact thoughts and ideas.

And this is weird- I meant to quote Rapunzel and SWGB, not Just Curious.

That might explain wrobert's time spent on here.
