Grayson Primary: Dem Congressman offers his superdelegate vote to winner of online poll

[brooklynite]

Salon:

Call it the “Grayson Primary.”

Florida Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson has decided to get a slice of the national media attention drawn by the Democratic presidential primary, steering donations and supporters to his election campaign, while making a statement on what he calls the “intrinsically undemocratic” portion of the primary election that are superdelegates.

...snip...

Grayson, who is running for Marco Rubio’s senate seat, sent an email to supporters this week, directing them to GraysonPrimary.com to select a Democratic presidential candidate for Grayson to support.

“Instead of selling my superdelegate vote to the highest bidder — like most members of the unDemocratic party these days — I am offering up my vote to you,” the campaign website reads.

The man is an embarrassment to the party.

2. He is such a joke. I wonder how long Dena Minning will stick with him?

I swear, she only hooked up with him so she could run for his seat! I understand his COS was blindsided entirely....!!!



What a hot mess...

3. Over the years I've liked Alan, I've wanted to defend him, I've been disillusioned by him.....

...I don't know what to think anymore. He seems to be trying to play both sides to his advantage now. I thought he was going to endorse Hillary, although I thought his heart should be with Bernie, and all he does the last year or so makes me uncomfortable with him.

I liked the progressive warrior persona, the extreme self-serving ego driven persona, not so much.

4. Wow. So why are you a member of the "unDemocratic Party" Grayson?

Run as an Independent if you hate us so much. You certainly don't understand democracy if you think online polls are at all democratic or the proper way for you to exercise the responsibilities given you by those who elected you into office.

5. Well, that's obnoxious.
