The first statewide survey of the [Florida] Democratic Senate race since [Alan] Grayson formally announced his campaign found Grayson leading [Patrick] Murphy by nearly seven points – 30 to 23 percent. Just over 17 percent said “someone else,” and 22 percent are undecided.

Do not. By which you may safely assume that I am not particularly distressed to have a man whom I once described as dressing like “an ex-KGB agent who was now taking on a second career as a Mafiya pimp” running for a statewide race in Florida. Frankly, I relish this opportunity; and if you click the [mc_name name=’Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL)’ chamber=’house’ mcid=’G000556′ ] tab below, you’ll soon figure out why. And, honestly, the Florida Republican Party is probably going to absolutely throw themselves in this race, and for good reason: it’s always nice to mix business with pleasure.
