Florida Election Rundown

Republicans have loved to hate Democrat Alan Grayson for a long time now. Evidence that their ire is well placed comes today from libertarian magazine Reason, which asks, “Is Alan Grayson the most loathsome member of Congress?“
Grayson’s latest general election ad brands his opponent, former state legislator Dan Webster, as “Taliban Dan.” The ad uses out-of-context video of Webster. Two of Grayson’s ads have failed fact-checking by FactCheck.org and by a local TV station.
GOP gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott has two new ads which quote newspaper articles to question his opponent’s scruples.
The New York Times takes a look at Amendment 4, which, if passed by voters in November, will require referendum approval for local land-use changes.
Florida will gain two Congressional seats in the 2012 redistricting, according to the latest estimates.
