FL-SEN: Is Rubio about to bungle it?

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

The Republican Party should be absolutely ashamed of itself for what it has done to Murphy. How is that remotely acceptable?

Both sides do it, like it or not.

So Democrats propping up Todd Akin in 2012 wasn't OK, either, right?

[Vega]

The thing is that Alan Grayson isn't Todd Akin has serious viral appeal.

[Kingpoleon]

Does anyone else think that TNVolunteer will start ranting conspiracy theory nonsense about 'angry Florida [demographic group]' if Rubio loses the general election?

No. The "angry New Hampshire women" at least have a little evidence of existing (if you look at subgroups in the polls)

Arguing with Smith is useless, he once called NH "the Alabama of the North" and loves the state because his dad lives there.

You are either willfully ignorant or stupid.

Smith is very sarcastic, and he did that to goad a response out of you.

Lol no.

Didn't he lose by the biggest margin of any incumbent Democrat in 2010? Even people in R+20 districts performed better than him.

[Panda Express]

So, it seems that the bombshell story on Murphy isn't so devastating after all.

This may have sunk some other politicians. But Patrick Murphy? I don't even see a scratch on him.

Yes he is Heisenberg. You, on the other hand, got killed by your own gun.

I don't exactly have confidence in the FLDEM party. I mean seriously, Charlie Crist for governor? Yeah I endorsed him but only because the other option was Rick Scott.

[Vega]

Republicans have done equally loathsome things as Grayson and have held elected office again, as I suspect he will, but he'd best drop out from the Senate primary to save himself from being embarrassed.

[Ebsy]

With FL Dems' luck Grayson will win despite all of this.

Wulfric,
Between Rubio and Murphy, what would be your choice?

Huckabee eyeing Florida gubernatorial run.

This is relevant because we also have a Senate election in 2018, and Huckabee running for Governor would steer other potential candidates towards that race.

I don't think he'll take the plunge, and I have been out of Tallahassee for a week. But I guarantee I know who is floating this idea, and it isn't Huckabee.

rofl lmao

does huckabee really want to turn into HAROLD STASSEN?

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

FL people, predict an Atwater vs. Putnam vs. Huckabee 2018 Gov. Primary.

[Kingpoleon]

Huckabee's going to have to live a while to be Governor of all fifty states.

[JMT]

Huckabee wouldn't be able to clear a field of candidates considering he was a politician from Arkansas. Plus, big names in Florida like Adam Putnam and Jeff Atwater are likely planning to run for Governor and could defeat Huckabee.

If Huckabee is actually interested in holding political office in Florida, though, running against Bill Nelson in 2018 for his Senate seat could provide a better opportunity from him. As I mentioned above, a lot of the rising stars in Florida are looking at running for Governor in 2018, so Republicans may be looking for a big name to run against Nelson for the Senate seat. Huckabee could take advantage of that, and with a President Clinton likely being unpopular, maybe he would have a shot at winning (but he'd likely still be the underdog against Nelson).

I can see CLC and/or DeSantis going for the 2018 seat. Rooney may also want to jump in. I wonder how an Atwater vs. Putnam primary would go. It really seems like Putnam is doing all he can to get ahead and jumpstart a campaign, from what I hear.
