I have not heard how Vern Buchanan is doing in the race with the totally made over and botoxed to the hilt Christine Jennings. This should have been an easy CD13 Pick up,but the guy that ran against Buchanan ran the most vicious Ads I have ever seen in all my Political ad watching years. I believe the voters in that district chose Buchanan out of a distaste for those horrible ads. I do not think that Vern should have even run because he is so tainted by past Financial troubles,but Jennings ran those same dirty ads which Conservatives get so upset with. In my area we are stuck with Tampa Bay News because of Direct TV local Channels. I would much rather have Fort Myers,but that is not a choice we have. I believe that the fight for power between Republicans was another reason that the Republicans lost power,and this was the fault of State Leaders more than anything else. I include Jeb and the State Party Chairman Carol Jean Jordan in this mess.

Buchanan lost but says it's because voters couldn't find his name on the new machines. He wants to be declared the winner on the strength of votes he would have gotten, even tho he didn't get them.

Only in Florida!

Hi Samantha, all I've heard is that Jennings says the
under votes are unaccounted for. The lawyer she has in this
fight is the same guy that went to work for alGore in 2000.

I've talked to quite a few people that didn't vote for Vern
in the general because they didn't vote for him in the primary.

I told them that was one of the more ridiculous things I've ever
heard. At least they didn't vote for Jennings to spite Vern.

All in all this whole thing is surreal. It's like we're in
a parallel universe or sumpin'...LOL
