One of those is that the Republican Party didn't want him in the first place, so they won't favor his proposals just because he calls himself a Republican. Another limitation on his power is that there are things he simply can not do because the state constitution delegages them to other elected officers. Another limitation is the Sunshine Law which can get him in trouble if he even tries to operate in the darkness. He may do a crummy job, he may do a wonderful job. Let;'s judge after he has taken office, perhaps? David for a proper time and place for all things He’s no king, there are all kinds of limitations on his power.

He received nearly 3 million dollars in donations from Florida companies *after* his election to pay for his crowning. Can you say "special interests"? Can you say "extortion"? Tickets for the black tie dinner will start at $95.00. He'll have a country and western concert with Lee Greenwood and Rockie Lynne as part of the list of activities for this egocentric love fest.
