I know it seems trite, but the only person running for office for whom I put a donation on a credit card! I never do that!!!

Can't wait to see him back on the floor putting Republicans to shame. That's what he does best.

10. Here's what I don't get:
How does the guy lose two years ago and rebound with an almost 2 to 1 win?
Don't get me wrong - I love the guy. But how fucking fickle are these Florida voters? Did he run in a different district? |

14. One of the best things to happen tonight, Alan is back and Republicans are
quaking in their boots. One of my favorite things to watch was Grayson tearing Republicans apart on the floor of the House. No one can do it better.
