DOn't know much about this election...but the GOP winning is good news.

Yes, good news indeed if the DemocRATS can’t “find” enough additional votes.
Once again, the so called Libertarian candidate almost handed it to the progressive DemocRat candidate.

Saw an MSM piece a few days ago that was cheerleading for the Dems that a win here would show that the Dems aren’t really all that unpopular and are in good shape for November. Betcha I don’t see any story about this race tomorrow.

Oh, and by the way, this is a District that Obama carried. Twice.

I wonder if this was another fake libertarian like the one McAwful used to beat Cuccinelli in Virginia.

*yawn*. We need to see RINO leadership defeated before such victories mean anything.

3,126 vote margin for Jolly—outside the “margin of fraud”?

Jolly's victory is significant because it was in a potential swing district and will be seen as a test of the strength of Obamacare as an issue.
The Democrat, Alex Sink, had an advantage in that although neither candidate ran an especially good campaign, Jolly's was troubled by a divisive primary and persistent organizational weaknesses. Relying on the best GOP issue, Jolly and his allies focused their attacks on Obamacare, while Sink advocated fixing it and did her best to talk about anything and everything else.
In this context, Jolly's victory suggests that Obamacare will indeed be a millstone around the necks even of Democratic candidates who seek to avoid its adverse political impacts.

Can someone confirm if Rand Paul did Karl Rove robocalls against the libertarian candidate and for Jolly?

Jolly faced off against Democratic nominee Alex Sink, a former financial officer for the state of Florida, and Libertarian candidate Lucas Overby
So, the Libertarian plant that the Dems scared up to take votes away from the Pubbie, didn't quite pull it off this time; huh?
