60. I wish Grayson could speak honestly to us about this issue...
but unfortunately he can't, and we all know why. The centrists/corporatist would rather not have to deal with his "outbursts" and the resulting questions from the MSM in regards to his strong stances FOR the people and not the corps.

How can you justify letting this guy be a toss up?? If the leadership wanted to make a principled stand THIS is the race to do it in. Whether Grayson pulls it out or not will be played out in the "media" as the indicator of how this country feels about "the left", and we all know what the meme and the headlines will be if he is unable to retain the seat;

Florida rejects Liberal standard bearer along with Obamas socialist agenda

Progressive Congressman ushered out with Anti-Obama Snumami

fill in the blank

So, it begs the question - does "the party" wish to proceed in the next two years with a more progressive/left leaning agenda or cowtow to the right and allow the political spectrum to be skewed ever more to the batshit crazy side.... ???

To me, after what happened in Mass. with the Ted Kennedy seat special election. I would have thought that the Graysons of the party would have gotten a lot more support to keep some semblance of balance, but thats just my opinion.
