I knew it. As soon as I saw this latest attack on Grayson that it was coming from somewhere sabrina 1 May 2015 #1

Its not just Grayson... Segami May 2015 #6

There is no way I would support Murphy over Grayson. So they can't take Grayson on on the issues, sabrina 1 May 2015 #7

Grayson is doomed naoya6161 May 2015 #13

Who do you want to run against Schumer? hrmjustin May 2015 #30

If he wasn't otherwise occupied, I wouldn't mind seeing Grayson return to NY and run against him sabrina 1 May 2015 #32

I would not vote for Grayson in NY but Schumer does get on my nerves. hrmjustin May 2015 #40

If Rubio doesn't get the presidential nomination and runs for re-election he's a shoo-in... DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #17

I think Rubio announced he wasn't running again. hrmjustin May 2015 #18

Then I would call it a toss up... DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #19

I think Grayson would have a harder time winning the seat than Murphy. hrmjustin May 2015 #20

As do I but neither can beat Rubio... DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #22

It is a tough state but with HRC at the top she can pull the Senate nominee over the finish line. hrmjustin May 2015 #23

Hopefully but If Bush lll or Rubio are on the top of the ticket it's going to be painfully close... DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #24

here is a cnn story on it from the other day. hrmjustin May 2015 #26

I lived in FL from 70-012, from the time I was a young boy. DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #31

Never heard of the Mayor but it woukd be nice if they did some party building in Florida. hrmjustin May 2015 #33

I am biased but I thought he was/is a great mayor DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #37

I wonder is Murphy can win or Grayson. hrmjustin May 2015 #43

Without Rubio it's an open seat in a purple state so it's consequently a toss up.../NT DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #47

Probably and the gop primary looks to be a mess. hrmjustin May 2015 #50

I would feel better if Murphy wasn't a former Republican DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #52

Fair point. hrmjustin May 2015 #53

It was funny watching his campaign first hand... DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #56

West was not able to go off script and I remember he didn't want the Democratic votes counted. hrmjustin May 2015 #58

He also alienated the glbt community, not that they were inclined to support him in the first place. DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #59

I bet even the log cabin Republicans didn't like him. hrmjustin May 2015 #60

I'm sure they didn't... DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #62

Not our type of party. hrmjustin May 2015 #64

Not my kind of party, good God, no... DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #67

Horrible they control things. hrmjustin May 2015 #84
