[edit] POV?

This article sounds like it was written by someone who doesn't think Democrats exist in NW Florida, and that Eglin Air Force Base is the only military installation in the district. I've tried to correct some of that, and expand the article a little.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Disavian (talkcontribs) 12:52, 7 March 2006 (UTC-5)

[edit] Lack of Info

Never really does this before, but as I am a native of the district, I felt like I had to point some things out. First, it is pretty obvious, if you know the area, that the article was written by someone living in Okaloosa County. There is a strong Okaloosa bias in the article. Second, it was not written by a native. "The Emerald Coast" is not an "affectionate local name for the Gulf Coast beaches of Florida's Panhandle, from Pensacola east to Destin." It is a marketing term, like many other before it, and a true native would know that. I would like the see really registration numbers broken down by party and county. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.89.123.215 (talk) 06:18, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion

Mentions military presence and tourism but doesn't explain how that impacts the politics, which is the topic of the article, in this part of Florida. RJFJR (talk) 20:16, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
