I live in Shaw's district. He is popular in Ft.Lauderdale, having been mayor years ago. He is districted along the coast which is more conservative because it doesn't have all the retiree communities like Century Village, which are to the west and are a huge block vote for Wexler (an insufferable hemmorhoid of a congressman).
The president was here this week to campaign for Shaw and he brought in $800K with one visit. Klien is a liberal democrat and has an uphill battle to win over Shaw's incumbency.
Clay Shaw also is high up on the House Ways and Means committee, which will be used against Klein because if he were to win Klein would be a rookie with crappy seat assignments.
