TALLAHASSEE, Fla. —

Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson is running for the Florida Senate seat that Republican Marco Rubio is giving up to run for president.

Grayson made the announcement on Thursday.

"This is the it campaign of 2016. Just like Elizabeth Warren was the it campaign in her race," Grayson said. "I'm going to be running a Barack Obama style campaign. I am going to try and wake up and electrify the electorate with all the good we can do for each other."

When WFTV asked Grayson how he is going to win, he replied, "By being the champion for a raise for seniors, for expanding Medicare, for being a champion for paid sick leave, and for seeing that everybody who is sick can see a doctor and get the care they need to stay healthy and alive. These are the issues. As soon as you start talking about the issues, people realize I'm the right person for the job."

“Grayson has built a national support base through his blunt assessment of the Republican Party and the Tea Party movement, the latter of which he once compared to the Ku Klux Klan.

“Many Tea Party members have a history of racism and discrimination and bigotry,” said Grayson. “I’m calling them out for their hate.”

“Grayson has built a national support base through his blunt assessment of the Republican Party and the Tea Party movement, the latter of which he once compared to the Ku Klux Klan.

In other words he compared the Republicans to a bunch of Democrats.

I'm guessing neither he nor any of his "advisors" are aware of that.

Grayson can beat his wife, but can he beat his Republican opponent?

Grayson sued the constituent owner of the website.

From the little video bites I’ve seen of his best rants on Fox and what I’ve read, it sounds like he should be in a psych facility-I can hardly believe anyone would vote for someone who even has crazy eyes...
