Good. We need a whole new crop of elected officials. Too bad we can't fire them all and start from scratch.

Good. I'd like to see all of the incumbents (on both sides) announce their "retirement."

The district is safe Rep,I hope his Rep succesor has a modern & comprehensive attitude towards Cuba...
The embargo failed miserably...
Time to help the people in Cuba,who live in a terrible $10/month poverty...
Lifting the embargo does not mean at all that USA became sympathetic to the Castro regime.

( Also,time for the Amers to enjoy -legally- Cuban cigars)...
