That would be great. But I think it is a safe gerrymandered socialist district like the one here in Tampa with Castor.

I’m not so sure. The Democrat margin has trended downward in the district.

Gore got 71% of the vote to 27% for Bush.

Kerry got 66% of the vote to 33% for Bush.

Obama got 65% of the vote to 34% for McCain.

Key things that will make a win happen. If the Democrats don’t bother to vote thinking its locked up it will be a big problem. Every Republican and Independent with any respect should be out in force today. The hard part will be keeping this seat in Nov but if Lynch wins he will have the status to raise funds going into Nov. People tend to only fund candidates they feel can win. This is unfortunate because the way you change districts like this one from unwinnable to winnable is by changing minds and making your case over and over again. I believe it isn’t totally beyond belief to see the race shift 16 points based on depressed Democrat voter turnout and motivated GOP independent turnout.

The Castor district’s map is a sight to behold. Gerrymandering at it’s best. For those who aren’t familiar, here’s a link:
