Democratic donors have given $2.6 million to Alan Grayson this cycle, and it is deeply satisfying to watch them waste their hard-earned dollars on a congressman who has absolutely no chance of retaining a seat in an R+2 district.
You cannot compare the opposing party to al-Qaeda and expect to retain your seat:
All the money in the world can’t save you if you are fundamentally out of step with your district’s values. In the end, his term in Congress will be remembered as a two-year-long, taxpayer-funded audition tape for MSNBC.
As thoroughly unpleasant as this fellow is, I do not think it is a given that he will be defeated. As a non-entity in a GOP-leaning district, yes he would be; but as an angry ultra-visible hero of the left in an angry year, he might inspire the wrong kind of turnout - although ECM makes a very good point.
Perhaps I was wrong. Grayson appears to be receiving about 65% of his contributions from in-state, although that leaves 35% from out of state. I'm not really sure if this is a lot, or if campaign contributions are even an accurate predictor of election-day support. External Link
With the proper voiceovers and consistent uses of his goofy assertions in thirty second ads, this man can be defeated. I sure hope he has some anti Israeli sillinesses that can be used as well.
But I'm sure you think it's just fine that Paul Brown compared Obama to Hilter. You are just mad that a democrat is finally fighting back against your amoral "leadership", lies and abject evil.
I can't imagine the same types who donated won't do everything to get him re-elected.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseThe folks who donated are more than likely out of state and certainly out of the district, and thus, can't vote for him.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseRepublicans need to make Alan Grayson the poster child of the democrat party. His quotes should be seen everywhere.
