Commas after the state name, too, in the middle of a sentence.

And if you want to see an example -- well, sort of an example -- look at the title of the TOTV Political Forum on the opening list. If that comma were not after Florida, it would look like we were allowed to talk only about Florida politics.

What a difference a comma makes -- sometimes.

Please do not look closely at my own punctuation. OK?
