Florida is not Mississippi. Even the panhandle has blue areas GulfCoast66 Aug 2018 #5

How about a Gillum/Graham ticket? RandySF Aug 2018 #16

That would be our best hope GulfCoast66 Aug 2018 #22

Gwen Graham's been the best! Cha Aug 2018 #28

Last week I suggested a Graham- Gillum ticket csziggy Aug 2018 #32

Clean up in Dade Broward and duval MaryMagdaline Aug 2018 #7

He will have to win the youth vote and drive up minority turnout. OrlandoDem2 Aug 2018 #13

I agree with all your points. yardwork Aug 2018 #43

Yes, but our turnout in presidential years is stronger relative to Republicans. Garrett78 Aug 2018 #15

Yes I dunno, Randy. You're the one in the know. What do YOU think? hedda_foil Aug 2018 #29

I pnly have a general idea of Florida. That's why I asked. RandySF Aug 2018 #30

I think Gillum has some trends going in his favor DemocraticSocialist8 Aug 2018 #33

This is much greater opportunity than Georgia or Texas races Awsi Dooger Aug 2018 #34

Hard to say. Stacey Abrams is a much better campaigner. RandySF Aug 2018 #35

Than Gillum? oberliner Aug 2018 #41

I don't care about campaigner compared to ideology of the state Awsi Dooger Aug 2018 #46
