Republicans backing Ric Keller's Democratic opponent for Congress?
I heard on the radio that both Bill Frederick and Glenda Hood, both prior GOP mayors of Orlando, are backing Democratic candidate Charlie Stuart over the incumbent GOP Ric Keller. I checked Stuart's website, and it confirmed it - in fact, it's splashed right across the front of the site.

I'd love to see Ric Keller tossed out on his ass, but I just hope we don't wind up with another DINO in Congress.

1. At least a DINO puts John Conyers in the Judiciary Chairmanship.
A GOOP doesn't.

3. I live to beat you, Jack.

Great minds and all that... (Or twisted minds as the case may be...)

Hope you're doing well, Bud! :toast: So when are we gonna get the gang together again?

Seriously, let's talk about it. Probably post-election would be best. And e's town sounds like as good a place as any.

6. Certainly works for me.
A post-election party? Celebration or commiseration as the occasion demands, in Marshfield on the weekend following the election? I think I could do that. We should take this to the WI forum & turn t over to someone competent, like Sybylla.

7. Good point!
I think it's interesting to see the rats jumping ship. How bad do you have to be for your own party to desert you?

8. Many would consider Charlie Stuart a DINO
he's running as a "moderate" and I'm sure he'll vote like a moderate. Democrats will not be happy with him all of the time.

But then again, Ric Keller is NOT a RINO. He's an empty-headed, hypocritical rubber stamp of the republican leadership.

Having a rep who votes like an asshole maybe 15% of the time has got to be better than having a rep who votes like an asshole 100% of the time.
