Their frustration had been mounting for weeks. But by late January national Republicans had had it with David Jolly, their candidate in Tuesday’s nationally watched Florida congressional special election. The candidate had just told the state’s top political reporter that he disagreed with an ad the party was airing against his Democratic opponent — a spot paid for with the nearly $500,000 the GOP had already spent on Jolly’s behalf....

Meanwhile, the Obamaslut, had the geezers who come here to die in the Sun instead of South Dakota, quaking in their support hose about the "end of their Social Security" and "The Death of Medicare at the hands of Republican fat cats who just don't care about you, Grandma."
Cheap win for the Mombasa MF.
Jolly ain't a bad guy, just a bad campaigner with a little too much personal baggage. Hell, he might even be a conservative. Since I hang out in a Republican neighborhood, I never even saw him, despite my invitation to his campaign to address a more intelligent sort of geezer than lives in the south half of the district.
Florida can be very hard to take if you graduated from an accredited 50s High School! Really dumb, tattooed fat people, whose vote for some reason, is equal to mine! And then the geezers ... many of whom are Yellow-Dog Democrats from Rust Belts who think Harry Truman is still President.
Not from there but I found this on line. http://www.saintpetersblog.com/latest-surgier-numbers-on-the-gop-surge-in-cd-13
sink is personal friends with local republican leaders. they and she are in the same political bed.
the RNC says it wants to “help” but all it really wants is to “do it their way” and so instead of making the bulk of its support in the form of financial aid to the GOP encumbant, and then coordinating the PR campaign approachs, with very strong local involvment and support, the RNC just wants candidates to be slavishly greatful for the “support” which most means RNC funding for RNC decided and controlled activity in their own campaign - often uncorridinated with the candidate; and in the end, the RNC WILL blame the candidate and never confess that IT might have been the problem.
” 41-year-old candidate accompanied on the campaign trail by a girlfriend 14 years his junior.”
It’s close, but this could be OK under the “half your age plus seven years” rule for such things.
To be fair, neither does Alex Sink.
Sink is the very definition of carpetbagger, and the Jolly campaign has been playing on that since the beginning. Jolly, while not a true conservative, is about what one should expect from Pinellas county politics. Jolly's been involved in politics since he was in college, so he's relatively seasoned in the politics of the area. He will NOT be another Bill Young. Young was a lifer and grew up in Pinellas when it was orange groves from Tarpon to Lakewood.
My bet: Jolly wins by less than 2% of the vote.
Bravo! You have a way with words.
I hope Sink gets sunk.
My bet: Jolly wins by less than 2% of the vote.

To use a well-worn cliche: From your lips to God’s ears. I feel much better about the race now. So, Jolly is not a political novice. That’s good. I’m encouraged; thanks.

This fellow’s got a girlfriend 14 years his junior? That’d make me give him the side eye for sure. And why is he distancing himself from that TV ad? Criticizing Sink for using a state plane for personal travel is the way to go. You want to highlight waste like that.
Something sounds fishy all the way around with this.
Another case of vote for the best man and get the worst possible slut? Too bored to give my standard lecture on the evils of the Two-Party, Big-Tent, Hands-across-the-aisle, share-the-swag bullshiite that is going to end this Republic.
*Yeah, I vote in two states. Shoot me.
Thanks for the update, KB.
Fingers crossed for Jolly.
Good for you noob! ;)
