Grayson (FL 8) Getting stomped

[benlurkin]

Grayson at 28%

I want to cry

[aquart]

1. Breaks my heart.

[tritsofme]

2. He will probably lose, but these early numbers are not representative of anything.

[senseandsensibility]

3. Heartbreaking

Not over yet, though.

[budkin]

4. It was that misleading at that did him in... he had been leading up to that point

[girl gone mad]

18. It was his health care vote.

My parents live in his district.

The seniors were upset about death panels and government takeover of health care, blah, blah, blah.

Hope he will run for the Senate.

[Lost-in-FL]

5. Ouch!!!!

NO!!!!! :cry:

This is a very republican district tho.

[Nay]

6. Can someone from FL give us an idea why he is not liked? Does

he have some liabilities that we don't know about?

[AlabamaLibrul]

9. If *I* had to guess, I'd say he bucked the trend of everything politicians are supposed to do

and was bound to quickly get the boot after one term.

There's a pit in my stomach. Did I think it'd happen? Yes. But I didn't want to believe it.

[onethatcares]

11. yes he has some liabilities, they're called

fucking goobers that vote repub. Jeeeeezzzzzz this is a state with the largest confederate flag in the united states of america flying over a major interstate highway.

A state that is dumber than a box of phosphate dust and wants to lower the expectations further.

A state where having the first child happens close to 14 years old and then the kidmoms and boyfriends kill the mother that tries to do best for them.

I'm getting outa here, I just can't stand the shit no more, the poor wages, the fucknutz that think the beaches belong to them instead of the people, the state where taxes are cheaper on a 180K boat than they are on a pair of kids sneakers and airplanes are taxfree.

This state once had promise, no longer, no fucking way.

By mid year next year this place is in my rearview mirror.

12. I know exactly how you feel. It's my 20th year here- I miss living in a blue state.

With that said, even in MA, Duval Patrick is not winning at this moment- too close to call- and that's also pretty pathetic and where I moved from.). But I agree- living in Florida is embarassing and yes it is filled with fucknutz. One was just elected as Senator.

[onethatcares]

21. I've been here 33 years

and the changes have not been good. I never thought a place that was really beautiful and had promise for generations could change so drastically.

Watching the governors race at this point scares the bejesus outa me. Good luck in the future, can't say much more than that.

[KaryninMiami]

22. Massachusetts appears to still be sane- Florida-= not so much.

Agree with you on the Gov. nail biter. It's terrifying thinking of Alex Sink loosing this to a criminal but it could happen. A tea bagger just won the Senate but a huge amount of votes. Sigh.

[madrchsod]

7. if he loses do you think he`s going away?

i think he`s going to be around for a few more years......

[Angry Dragon]

24. I suggested chairman of the DNC

[nc4bo]

8. How utterly depressing. nt

[devereaux]

10. Let's let the polls close first

before we start writing any obituaries.

[BlueCheese]

17. Not looking good...

20 pts behind with 30% counted.

[gateley]

13. Oh noooooooo! That makes me so sad! nt

[lillypaddle]

14. Damn

:cry:

[Poboy]

15. This is the worst news of the night.

[Naturyl]

16. A Congressman With Guts

Let's get rid of that ASAP! Can't have anybody actually standing up for progressive values in America.

[blaze]

19. Where did the polls have him before the election?

I thought he was polling a lot stronger than this.

[tpsbmam]

20. Heartbreaking. I hate how stupid America is. n/t

[Coexist]

23. nice headline. whats the purpose?
