1. very strong

I have not seen many polls, but all of them have shown Grayson in the lead.

it will be a fine thing to welcome him back, and to see Warren taker her seat in the Senate.

A fine thing...

2. It's a safe seat

He's running in a newly created district. His opponent, Todd Long, hasn't really raised any money.

3. I was wondering how he was doing. That is great news, thank you.

6. That's great news!

I've been donating a little at a time to Alan, Liz Warren, President Obama, the ACLU, OWS, and the Human Rights Campaign.

I'm hoping for a sweep, and they all win!!!

4. He's up in the polls, but he's not running in the same district.

He's benefiting from re-districting. Just the way the GOP cut the districts made this one more Democratic. Him and Todd Long are both challengers in it.

The guy that beat him (Dan Webster) is running for re-election in a neighboring district against Val Demings. That race is more competitive than many expected, but R's outnumber D's there so Webster will likely win.

5. Good, I hear.

I gave him $200, just to make sure (all I could spare.)
Don't worry.

7. Grayson's new district (FL 9)

Takes in a part of the old district (Fl 8), southern Orange County (orlando) as well as some of the counties south of there. More hispanic than before. More blue collar. Bodes well for us. I was in FL-8, and am now in FL-9
Webster (R/Tea Party) is running strong primarilt because FL-8 includes The Villages.
