RS Interview: Cord Byrd (R CAND, FL State House 11 PRI).

This is one of two interviews about state races – in this case, Florida – that I did as more or less because of the RedState gathering.  I thoroughly recommend that people interview their own state legislators and candidates; 2010 taught us that every race has importance, and it’s on the state level that a lot of the day-to-day political decisions are hashed out.

At any rate: meet Cord Byrd, who is running in Florida’s new 11th state house district: we talked for a bit about that, and state-level races generally.

RS at CPAC: EJ Otero (R CAND, FL-11 PRI).

Florida is volatile, this cycle: the combination of redistricting, the adding of two seats, and the status of Florida as a battleground state has caused for a lot of jockeying for positioning and seats.  It was pretty much a relief to speak to Col. E.J. Otero, USAF (Ret.), who simply wants to toss out the liberal Kathy Castor from the 11th district. As usual, we talked about CPAC and this race.
