FL-GOV: What is Gillum's path to victory?

[Algernon Moncrieff]

3. It's going to be tough, but I think it can be done

He needs to get moderate to conservative dems on board for him. That sounds straightforward enough until you see the kinds of issues Ben Jealous is having in Maryland.

Obviously, he has to campaign hard in Dade / Broward / Palm Beach, as well as Jax & Orlando. He needs a group of Dems as varied as Buddy Dyer to DWS to go to bat for him.

He has the advantage of being from Tallahassee - a place Dems don't usually do well. Panhandle inroads could be good.

The West Coast is generally beat Red, but the red tide caused (arguably) by algae runoff gives him to campaign on environmental issues on the west coast. Somebody should be going to jail or paying a whopping fine for that, and I'd make that point frequently on the stump.

I have another recommendation. He and Bill Nelson should appear together - a lot. Gillum should spread the word that AA and younger Dem-left voters should be excited about sending Bill back to the Senate and sending Rick Scott the Hell home. Nelson should tell older and whiter voters that this is a young man that understands their challenges and issues and will make a Helluva lit better governor than the Trump surrogate.
