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.

When Biden travels from DC to Grayson country he raises the IQ in both places.

One really has to wonder, though, who the 30% are who are supporting this lunatic.

Hard to believe Grayson would be close after his outrageous behavior as a Congressman and the obviously dishonest attack ad against his opponent. He won the race by a narrow margin in 2008 over a Republican incumbent.

i love how the leftist at this Dem rag try to spin this mentally ill creatures bizarre antics.

My relatives tell me that the lefties in their Groovy “ Thorton Park” neighborhood have been quietly taking down their Grayson signs and that even includes the Gay left wing nutters around them which is the base of the Commie party and Grayson.

Grayson was behind in polls I saw. Biden’s there for window dressing.

This article really soft pedals what the jacka## said. Eventually it quotes two of his more infamous statements, but early on it speaks only of his ‘outspoken’ liberalism. Liberalism, per se, has nothing to do with what he said. It has everything to do with his personal idiocy and viciousness.

His “die quickly” remark was factually inaccurate. Actually, I hope he dies a very slow death.....

Joe Biden and Alan Grayson on the same stage? I guess Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson were already booked. This will be good!
