I like this guy because he isn't afraid to stand up to the Rs on many issues. I became a fan when he talked about how the Rs healthcare plan worked in the House.

In the race for Representative in Congress from District 9 do you support Republican Todd Long or Democrat Alan Grayson?
Todd Long: 41.0%
Alan Grayson: 45.8%
Undecided: 13.2%

http://www.stpetepolls.org/surveys/election_2012_september_general.html


and here:

"Grayson’s pollster says his lead is just 47.9 percent to 33.5 percent, with the rest undecided. "

with Todd Long saying (in his own words, from a radion interview) that he wants to privative Social Security. The interviewer stops him and asks again, "Privatize Social Security?" Long reiterates it again.

This doesn't play well in FL.

they they have to start fighting for us. And they will learn from people like Al Franken, Allen Grayson and the other true Democrats.

A man can dream, can't he?
