Pardon me, but bullsh#t. Sandy Adams ended up in an unfortunate and likely unwinnable situation. Due to redistricting she was up against Mica, who by and large is a pretty good congressman. He’s been in dc too long, and I would have voted for Adam if I were in her district, but this was not a central tea party battle. Mica had tons of money and flooded the airwaves. He is the biggest figure in national politics in central Florida. Adams is a first termer, running in a district rebuilt to include a lot of people from Mica’s district. I don’t know anyone who thought she had a chance in this one. Mica is no Lugar. There is no groundswell to get rid of him. In a perfect world, both would have been going back to DC next year .
Sandy Adams was running in my district. She did her job last election by beating the Rat that somehow won before her. Adams ran a p@ss poor campaign and Mica coasted to the win with 10,000 more votes. We did manage to put some conservative judges on the ballot locally and send another on to the State Legislature. It was quite a snoozer of a primary around here.
