'Very good for Democrats, if true:

I don't know if this poll is skewed or not, but Murphy is a strong candidate. It would surprise me if he doesn't become a senator or a governor one day.

No, this was basically an internal poll. This is as worthless as a quadriplegic soccer player.

True, but the polling company is still accurate (got Murphy's result spot-on and was off by 1 in the Sadler race). I'm a little wary of the results too, but the polling company's obviously credible. I'd like to see PPP do a round of polling with Democratic incumbents like these so I can see if Murphy's this popular.

Though in more positive website news, CharlieCrist.com is back online.

Damn you SJoyce, I came here to post that. But yeah, he's all but announced.

Few Democrats on this forum actually like Crist. We just seem him as the lesser of two evils.

Well Florida Democrats sure seem to like him. Continues to amaze me - I understand the importance of electability, but it just seems like you're throwing out all your beliefs and values if you are going to get behind someone as spineless and opportunistic as Charlie Crist. And don't even try to compare him to Mitt Romney - not even close.

If Scott is SO bad, I don't see why another competent Democrat couldn't beat him if they have proper funding and are able to develop name recognition. Sink should have gone for it again.

I'm guessing the FL Dems will settle for mediocrity.

Senator Orrin Hatch's chief counsel wants to run in FL-18 for some reason.

So does Dan Bongino, the guy who almost won in MD-6.

Downtown Jacksonville won't dump Corrine, ESPECIALLY for Graham. She's done.

That won't be the only part of the district, Tallahassee and Gadsden County will make up a good portion, which is Graham's territory.

Dude just admit the activist decision while getting you a net gain has cost you daddy's little girl, theres a good chance she would have lost reelection anyways

You're acting like there won't be more opportunities for her down the road, and you're acting like the governor's mansion isn't going to be open in 2018.

Not even gonna talk about the blatant sexism you're spewing all over the thread.

Why because I pointed out that she like many candidates on both sides of the spectrum would be nowhere without there name? Was it misandrist when people made daddy comments about George W. Bush?

Because you brought the fact that she was a woman into it when it wasn't about her being a woman.

Also, the fact that you're unironically using "misandry" (especially when most of those comments were made by men, against a man) isn't helping your case.

Orangeman is strongly considering running against Jolly.

Strangely enough, I'm okay with this. Pinellas County is much different from the governor's race - and even if it wasn't gerrymandered, I'd consider this a toss-up if he ran.
