She's only eight points ahead in the poll that was just released, so the voters may NOT agree.

Eight points is eight points. There's a reason she's winning. She knows what her constituents want.

I would not be surprised if she eventually replaces Pelosi or Hoyer in the House.

It's definitely "hate" ... an irrational fixation on a single high-profile symbolic target.

You've said that when you've argued that voting against DWS hurts HRC somehow.

Yet you give credit for the claim that Canova's campaign is an out-of-state anti-Florida

I've done no such thing. And deflection won't change the fact that you made a false claim

Again, deflection doesn't save you. What you claimed isn't true, verified by your own link.

Canova never had a chance. People in the district essentially think of him as a 'carpetbagger.'
