It's Vern Buchanan vs. Christine Jennings.
So, what is the outlook on this race from a local perspective?
This distrit is very conservatives. I think that this seat is very safe.....The only concern that I have is the primary has been very dirty and hope it does not reflect...I will vote for him and imagine that all the other Republicans will vote for him also...He is conservative...

Christine Jennings is a former banker and was a registered Republican when she lived in Manatee county. She'll be a more formidable candidate than Jan Schneider was. She'll have big DNC money behind her and the big donkeys will campaign for her.
Vern Buchanan will probably continue to be attacked for his past business dealings by the local NY Times owned SH-T newspaper. He's got millions he can pour into the race like he did in the primary. He obviously has the conservative vote but now he's got to attract some independents to beat Jennings.
All the Republicans in the 13th district will need to shake hands now and begin to work together for victory in November after this bitterly fought primary.
