This is no joke. This moron is actually running.

I trust the good people of Florida's 8th congressional district will once again kick this moron to the curb where he belongs.

Is he running against Webster again or in another district?

He has a video of one of the members of the Dem leadership in the House endorsing him.

Grayson"
Democrap Primary Winner is a Shoo-in. Grayson's biggest worry is not the Republicans. It's the chance that the DNC will come up with a black candidate to run against this fool.

District is 50% African-American, heavy illegal alien population, lots of Joisey Double Dipper Democrat voters among the white voters, who ain't all that bright. This miserable SOB may not even need fraud to win this district, which ought to be moved to Haiti as soon as possible.

Safe Democrap seat.

He’s not running against Daniel Webster where he knows he would be beaten easily. He’s running in the new district 9 against John Quinones.

The district is in Osceola County, for the most part, where there is a very heavy hispanic concentration. But It is not 50% african american as someone mentioned. (see the link below) Kissimmee, Osceola County’s most populous city, has always been known as hillbilly heaven. Black people have been afraid to live there for many years.

And yes I have lived in Osceola County. It has been a while since I lived there, but other than the hispanic take over of the county, I doubt it has changed all that much.

This guy is truly mentally diseased. And anyone who’d vote for him is equally so.

Though I would not be surprised if Alan Grayson (D) won the seat, it is not an automatic safe seat for the dems. It is a heavily democratic area but it is also heavily hispanic and John Quinones (R), Grayson’s opponent, has been elected to portions of that district quite a few times and is known and liked by the hispanics.

They would like one of their own representing them.

This district is not 50% African American. A black candidate would lose big time.

The 3rd Congressional District is geographically diverse. Starting from the southern part of the district, it includes the Pine Hills area of the Orlando-Kissimmee Metropolitan Area with small pockets of African-American neighborhoods in the cities of Sanford, Gainesville, Palatka, and finally the larger African American communities of Jacksonville. Connecting these areas are regions which are sparsely populated - either expansive rural areas or narrow strips which are only a few miles wide.
Barack Obama received 73% of the vote in this district in 2008.

Reported Ethnicity: 38.4% White,
49.3% Black, 1.6% Asian,
8.0% Hispanic,
0.3% Native American,
0.2% other

Latest Census

Been represented by Corinne Brown since '93? We talkin' the same district. Grayson ran out of the 8th, a much more Republican oriented area.

This new district Grayson is running to win is the 9th district. The 3rd district which carries the statistics you are showing is not part of this race. Barak did also win the 9th district area in 2008 but they were mostly hispanic votes. You have just chosen the wrong Florida district to profile.

Grayson’s race is in Central Florida. The district you are describing would be huge from Kissimmee to Gainesville to Jacksonville is many hundreds of miles in distance. District 9 is not that big. It goes from South Orange County through Osecola County and part of Lake County.

This map with the overlay of the congressional districts on the state should help.

https://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://www.flsenate.gov/PublishedContent/Session/Redistricting/Plans/h000c9047/h000c9047.kmz

You can plainly see that district 3 is in North Florida and district 9, the right district, is in Central Florida. It is a major hispanic district and not a black district at all.

I’m in district 8; I believe he’s running in a newly created district near Kissimmee of mostly hispanics.

Here's just one tidbit that he hopes people will forget. The website documenting his lunacy mentioned in the piece appears to be no longer active, by the way...

Grayson wants to send critic to jail for five years

Grayson spent time in a psychiatric hospital in the 80's

With all this talk about transparency and tax returns, I do believe a stint at the butterfly farm is definitely something the voters should be informed of.
