I kow it sounds strange, but Please, Please, Please, do not encourage ANYONE to go against Congresswoman Corrine Brown.
This is Practical Politics 101:
No Republican has ever defeated a Black Dem in a Minority-Majority district such as Brown’s FL-3. In fact, since these M-M districts were formed, no one, anywhere, nationwide, has even beaten a Black Dem.
The districts were designed to be permanently Black. Brown's FL-3 starts in the Black section of Palatka, runs up a sliver of land to the Black section of Jacksonville, then down to the Black sections of Deland and Orange City, down to the Black sections of Eatonville and Orlando.
She cannot be defeated. It cannot be done. Even with J.C. Watts' help, two candidates could not do it in FL-3.
Her electorate knows she is a total scam, but she is “putting one over on The Man.” They love her for that, beyond any other consideration. The more criminal, the more liberal she became, the more votes she would get.
Look at Alcee Hastings. A black convicted, impeached, bribe-taking federal judge. He wins his congressional seat from South Florida in a landslide every cycle!
So, Corrine will win. But if we don’t run anyone against her, she runs a very low-key campaign, there is no media interest in her distict and 20,000 voters Black Dem will stay home on election day! That’s 20,000 fewer Dem votes for the Dem governor candidate, the Dem senate candidate, etc.
The smart move is to NOT run anyone against her. We cannot win the seat, and ANY opponent only adds 20,000 Dem voters to the statewide races on election day.
are browns voting by race or platform?
Gerrymandering *used* to be a bad thing.
An interesting thought.
That's because Dems don't judge people based on the color of their skin.
Oh, and they care about the "little guy", too. That's why they hate killing unborn children so much.
A textbook example of "Politicians choosing their voters, rather than the other way around".
I think this is a good plan — and one reason that I doubt that anyone will oppose Tammy Baldwin (white lesbian) in Madison, WI.
Actually, on some issues, such as the VA Hsopital here in Orlando, she was a huge help.
Most time she is straight D voter, but that will never get any better in FL-3. She will be there till she quits.
A leader of the “browns” community once said “ya never vote against blood”.
Sorry, I cannot remember the individuals name right this moment of posting. If I remember it later, I’ll send you a FReep Mail.
Well, I care for one. I live in her gerrymandered district and before we moved we were in Anders Crenshaws District. It sucks to have this woman representing us.
I understand demographics. And my guess it was the GOP that gerrymandered this district so GOP could get and hold the three surrounding districts.
Freegards,

This is sage advice.
Do you have anything more ‘detailed’ than the ‘black’ section? I understand Democrats wanting to label in colors; that doesn’t mean you do as well.
they do in business too....dont buy from whites
Can I write in Cynthia McKinney?

PS, use of term Black neighboorhoods. That’s what she calls them. Do you want PC or reality?
PS Check out her picture.

She could be Cynthia a big sister.
Have interviewed her. The hair is a wig.
Then quote her. Your using your own language. Divide and conquer. It’s always worked.
If you guys in Florida mainain a Republican Legislature and a Republican Governor, you may be able to redraw those congressional districts based on the 2010 census.
