Shalala sha-na-na

[CincyRichieRich]

It is going to be a wipe-out of Democrats in a RED TIDE...I even love we get to use that term and steal it from the “climate change” operatives.

[freedom1st]

Incumbent Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R), who was first elected in 1988, is not seeking re-election.[

[fieldmarshaldj]

It is. The Dems would need margins of, what, 25%, in that district to win statewide ?

As an aside, I’m shocked how old, scary and fugly Shalala looks. Is that the best the Dems can do in that seat ? Why would she want to START a House career at the age of 78 ? If the Dems ran a younger Hispanic candidate, they’d probably be ahead. Not that I’m complaining...

University of Miami: The Convicts. I wonder whether Elvira is a Catholic?

Then you would have Catholics v. Convicts, 2018 Edition.

I'm thinking now that the Republicans will actually pick up seats in the House. I've long been confident in the GOP gaining in the senate (5+ seats) but had been reconciled to the Dems picking up 10-15 House seats (with GOP still keeping a slim majority).

But now I'm predicting that the GOP will actually get a pickup in the House as well!

ALL Dummcrap women are gross and ugly. Hitlery is the example. The only hot lib woman I dated was back in college and just wanted to bang her as a bet to my university frat mates.

[max americana]

are u kidding me? Id hit it. NOT the ugly gas bag beside Salazar, for the record.

[nd76]

That’s unfair to the Michelin man, who is a capitalist.

Donna Boom-Boom Shalala is a socialist cochon.

[Impy]

Yet every single statewide poll has still shown Gillum ahead.

Bradley effect? BS weighting? This poll shows Scott and DeSantis doing the same in the 27th, which would indicate a DeSantis victory.

As for Shalalalalalalala, yeah it was a moronic choice, whilst our candidate has a very good profile for the district.

[campaignPete R-CT]

toss up district. Little Havana.

Shalala running behind top of ticket. No surprise

D+5, fwiw.

[Vigilanteman]

You must be one of those Mick Irish who likes his brewskis! <-;

[EarlyBird]

Thanks.

I guess the incumbent wants to spend more time with family?

[LS]

Baris tells me DeSantis is NOT a strong candidate, that he is not emphasizing Gillum’s socialism.

Baris did a FL poll showing that 65% of Floridians said they would “never” vote for a socialist candidate-—but DeSantis can’t make the connection???

[rightwingcrazy]

Maybe in a previous life ;/

[Impy]

Distressing. I heard he changed campaign managers a few week ago. Not making a difference?

[Doogle]

...so many rolls she could open a bakery...

Wow!!!!!

Looking at those two pictures you posted of the candidates that are running, I have to think that the sudden Republican surge in the polls has nothing to do with Trump... :-)
