In the past three weeks, U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson of Orlando has been on a verbal tear..

He has cussed out journalists for asking about his girlfriend's political ambitions and offshore investment funds, blasted the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee as "out-of-touch party bosses sipping cognac in a smoke-filled room" and called his ex-wife a gold digger.

Such firebrand comments have been typical of his career. Now they have opened the potential for a bloody U.S. Senate primary fight next year with moderate U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy of Jupiter, who has quickly wrapped up endorsements from almost all of the party's establishment.

He's an unstable nut-case with a job, well-tailored clothes and a manicure...a time bomb waiting to explode. He's gonna make some REALLY important headlines one of these days.

It still amazes me how the press loves to coddle lib politicians. Just imagine if a conservative had said any of this...

They voted him out of office in 2012, but then as a result of realignment of the Districts he got back in the next time around. Maybe, if he runs for the Senate and loses he will have to give up his House Seat. Probably wishful thinking though. There are some House Districts in FL where all you need is a “D” ext to your name to get elected. Alcey (Not sure of that spelling) Hastings is a good example.

I can't believe Rubio is leaving his Senate seat open for his ill-fated Presidential campaign.

Especially as it’s a newly-drawn, majority Hispanic district that was created to elect an Hispanic.
