FL-various: Republicans lead in 10, 13, 18, 22, 26

[Dereich]

In the race for Representative in Congress from District 9 do you support Republican Todd Long or Democrat Alan Grayson?
 Todd Long:         41.0%   
 Alan Grayson:    45.8%   
 Undecided:         13.2%

Ohhhh hahahaha man. This is a district that went 60% for Obama and 39% McCain.

I think Florida Republicans may have inadvertently drawn the most Democratic Bush/Obama district possible without crassly gerrymandered lines. Because yes, this district actually narrowly voted for George W Bush in 2004 (but not 2000, I think, based on Osceola County's swing between those two elections.)

I kind of wonder about the district selection here. Who gives a damn about the 3rd and 12th districts? How about including the 2nd or 26th instead?

I'm currently studying in the 2nd and I'm afraid to tell you it won't be interesting at all. The Democrat, Al Lawson, is a black Tallahassee liberal in a district that only could have been won by a blue dog (like the 2nd place candidate, Leo Bembry) in a good Democratic year. That and Southerland hasn't really screwed up more then average for a tea-partier so it would be hard to dislodge him. Interesting fact, one of my professors ran against him in the primary and got last place.
