4. Are you local?

Or just someone who likes the challenger (and/or doesn't like DWS) ?

7. The latter. I'm donating to quite a few of them :)

My uncle, god bless his memory, lived in Century Village, right smack in the middle of DWS' district. Hillary won it 70-30. It is heavily Jewish, Hispanic, and African American. It was made to order for her.

3. How do you think the DWS primary will go?

I can't find any polling to speak of.

5. She will win it easily. The groups I cited are the most loyal to the Democratic party,

Race 40% White, 52.9% Black, 1.8% Asian, 0.4% Native American
Ethnicity 20.9% Hispanic

This is how any Democrat wins a state wide race in FL; roll up huge margins in South Florida*, be competitive in Central Florida, and mitigate his or her losses in North Florida.

If it was a high turnout general election Rick Scott never beats Charlie Crist.

I will go on to predict Patrick Murphy picks up Marco Rubio's Senate seat, whether Rubio runs or not.

6. I'm following the race. I like Canova. I like his way of funding his campaign. But

in FL, one of the most corrupt states in the country, where the voting machines are definitely not reflective of the real sentiment of the people or their actual votes, I don't give him good odds to win. If Tim can get an accurate vote count, one that pretty much agrees with the unadjusted exit polls, he will win, I believe.

But that's a big BUT, a very very big BUT.

9. These are the kinds of posts that get you laughed out of the room

"My guy didn't win so the polls must be rigged!"

10. DWS wins handily because the demographics overwhelmingly favor her.

Sad to see people waste their money on such a quixotic mission...The money would be better spent on food banks or what not or competitive Democratic races.

11. Rachal Maddow reported the other day that 2 of the candidates that Bernie was supporting

in the primary, lost. So much for Bernie's Midas Touch and similarly will go the revolution.

12. I will just confine myself to Florida's 20th District.

It was made for DWS.

What a colossal waste of time and resources.

8. Not as much money as was blown on Bernie.

She's very popular there. Expect disappointment.

14. Still waiting to see any evidence that fundraising = votes.

Bernie-inspired fundraising didn't help Lucy Flores (NV-4).
