“I was recently watching a video of that old 1948 thriller “Key Largo” with Edward G. Robinson, Humphrey Bogart, and Lionel Barrymore. I practically fell out of my chair at one point when Robinson (playing a gangster as only he could) says to the good guy (Bogart): “Let me tell you about Florida politicians. I make them out of whole cloth, just like a tailor makes a suit. I get their name in the newspaper. I get them some publicity and get them on the ballot. Then after the election, we count the votes. And if they don’t turn out right, we recount them. And recount them again. Until they do.” (THIS WAS IN 1948)”
