We are in MA. Will be taking her then. I visited town hall a few days ago and they showed me a ground floor backdoor entrance to the gym. Won't be hard to get her in with her chair.

Thanks, Glamrock.

Well, now we know who made the better 'first impression.' Also means, this is going to get ugly real quick because the Trumpster's ego is riding on this race.

Buckle up, Floridians. Push these bastards into the sea.

Now that would be a real competition for the Trumpsters. How would we ever tell the difference

Hopefully, since the Republican candidate is full on Trumptard, the blue wave will crest high in FL. Maybe it can have some coattails to help the US Senate race there too.

DeSantis still favored but considerably tighter than yesterday, when at one point DeSantis was trading at 69 cents

as well as running interference on the inevitable voter suppression tactics that will no doubt go on daily before then.

Really poor poll. I hope it generates enthusiasm and not overconfidence. PPP was either told to poll it this way or they did it on their own out of expediency. They matched democrats and republicans and threw nine percent to independents. It’s a very flawed way to conduct a poll.

It was commissioned by a democratic consultant.

The GOP slime and racial attacks have et to begin.

There were 1,509,960 votes, in the DEM primary and 1,618,473 votes, in the GOP primary
= not good imo
- >500K dems did not vote for either Gillum or Graham

with his “monkey it up” comment that left little doubt what he meant. He has spent the last two days explaining and defending himself. That was not exactly the way he planned to kick off the run up to the general election.

Meanwhile, Gillum has been all over the news being interviewed and auditioning for lots of voters who really did not know who he was. His face was everywhere.

Gonna be an interesting two months. DeSantis is still licking his self inflicted wounds.

Hard campaigning ahead, and Orange Dumb Ass and his toady DeSantis are ready to help. The maccaca moments will come fast and furious.

Gillum got my vote in the primaries, and got my donation afterward. I'm not a rich man. I give what I can when I can afford to give it.

Go Andrew Gillum!!!
