what Florida can tell us about the election.

OK, the Florida Democratic party, in it's wisond (sarcasm) run someone for Givernor that many Democrats remember as Governor, namely as a not so good Governor. He lost by one damn percentage point, after elections hijinks, and the conceded, just like Alex Sink did.

Meanwhile , Alan grayson, he who gets yelled at by Debbie Wasserman Schultz, wins AGAIN.

See a pattern?

Wasserman was selected to head the Congressional Campaign. You can flame me if you want,but,this person just IMHO did not have the tools to run a Mid term election. Now,someone like Grayson would have kicked a ton of ass and taken names. But the third way wanted to impress someone I guess.

one congressional district. I am sure, that Chain Gang won the 9th district, and a few others, but not so much overall. If Grayson was elected state wide, you may have something.

Than supporting someone who will not at least contest the vote if you lose by one damned percent! You know that if Ricklost by a hair, we would not see the lawyers clear out of town till next Easter!
