Brendan,

  Here's something for you to think about:  Change seems to be the big word in this election season.  Everyone's talking about the need for change, and how to achieve it.  But as the old saying goes, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

  I'm keeping up with the endorsements from many of Florida's major newspapers.  They tend in many cases to reflect what the results will be like on November 4.  Now, scroll down to the endorsements for the congressional seats.  Almost without exception, the endorsement goes to the incumbant.

  It seems that change is OK, as long as it doesn't affect MY backyard.  So much for change...
