Biden to campaign for Rep. Grayson
The Hill ^ | 10/23/2010 | Michael O'Brien

Posted on 10/23/2010 10:04:58 AM PDT by markomalley

Vice President Biden will campaign for controversial Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) next week in Florida.

Biden will attend an event on Monday for the first-term Democratic lawmaker, who's made waves during his term in Congress by taking outspoken liberal stances on issues.

Biden will attend a reception on Monday for Grayson following a speech at a conference for the International Association of Chiefs of Police in Orlando.

The event will Biden's 99th event on behalf of candidates this year. He'll attend his 100th event the same day after traveling to New Hampshire and campaigning on behalf of Ann McLane Kuster, the Democratic candidate in the state's 2nd congressional district.

The stop on behalf of Grayson reflects the tight nature of the liberal's race against Republican Daniel Webster. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates the race as "lean Republican," in no small part due to Grayson's outspoken time in Congress.

He had said Republicans' plans for health reform is for sickly patients to "die quickly," and launched an add against his opponent, calling him "Taliban Dan."

Still, a win for Grayson would go a long way toward Democrats' effort to stave off the net loss of 39 seats that would hand control of the House to Republicans, and make GOP Leader John Boehner (Ohio) the speaker of the House.

I thought Grayson had already been left for dead. Is a win for him still possible?

If he does win, we will know that wherever Biden or Obama went, a major vote manufacturing operation went along.

A win is not possible for Grayson. What this shows is that there are only a few places remaining that Biden can’t do more harm than good — indications of more desperation.

That’s a great idea. Thanks for tying the entire national Democratic establishment to the nasty jerk right before an election, Joe.

Bud Abbott and Lou Costello comes to mind. This has the potential to be hilarious.

Look, we know Grayson has some sort of neurological disorder so it shouldn’t surprise us when Biden feels an affinity for him. After all, Joe had unsuccessful brain surgery THREE TIMES.

That is what I thought (a Grayson win not being possible), however why would the dems want the spotlight shined back on him? It seems like a very stupid move, unless someone believes that he might be able to pull it out.

Webster has 45% to Grayson 30%. He is toast.

Maybe it was Greyson’s claim that he has the Wiccan vote locked down that inspired Biden to campaign for him.
