= new reply since forum marked as read
Look out, Congress. Alan Grayson is coming back.
The fiery Orlando Democrat was poised for a double-digit victory on Tuesday night, besting Republican Todd Long in Florida's newly created 9th Congressional District.
With 43 of 155 precincts – plus early and absentee ballots -- reporting, Grayson led 62 percent to Long's 38 percent. A win returns Grayson to the U.S. House, where he served one term before losing in 2010 to now-U.S. Rep. Dan Webster, R-Winter Garden, in what is now Florida's 10th Congressional District.
Grayson has big lead over Todd Long
