Former house speaker Dan Webster made it official Thursday afternoon telling a crowd of about 200 supporters that he has the experience to take back Florida's 8th district for Republicans.

[Raycpa]

His literature better be spell checked.

“Congratulations to Dan Webster, the next representative of the 8th district of Florida!”

Well, the remains to be seen! Our Republican Primary is on August 24th. We will then know who will face Grayson in November! May the best constitutional conservative win!

...former vice presidential candidate Mike Huckabee...

Pardon my ignorance, but on who's ticket was Mike Huckabee the vice-presidental candidate?

We will then know who will face Grayson in November!

Either way the Jester Grayson is toast as a politician IMO.

Taking candy from a baby (literally)

[seekthetruth]

Mike Huckabee ran as a Presidential candidate in the Republican Primary in 2008. He was not on any ticket as a Vice Presidential candidate.

[Political Junkie Too]

Of course.

So why would this author think otherwise, and why would this radio station allow him to write "news?"

On the whole, this is an excellent development. I just hope he can clear the primary field.

[seekthetruth]

“Frankly I have no favorite, but Sen. Webster, the first GOP House Speaker since Reconstruction and former Senate leader has been a major conservative leader for 30 years. The organized support from state leaders looks preemptive.”

Yes he certainly has been in the political scene for at least 30 years. I agree the organized support from Mike Huckabee and Jeb Bush does appear preemptive.

Perhaps it is time for some new blood in Congress.

This is my district, so I am especially going to be in tune with checking out both candidates. I will be working hard for which ever is the GOP candidate in the fall...Like I never have before. I lived in Chicago in Blago’s district when he was in the House, and I can still say Grayson is the worst representative I have ever had.

[alancarp]

I’ve known Webster for 35 years — before he ever entered politics. You can’t do better for Orlando.

I know Dan Webster is popular, and rightfully so. However, his entering the race so late is rather troubling to me. The only comment I happened to pick up on was when Webster said that Congress was “too partisan”. I for one want constittional conservitive partisans in Congress. No reaching across the isle to the Socialist/Progressive DEMS!

[PMAS]

Grayson needs to go

[benjibrowder]

LOL.

[seekthetruth]

Sorry, I misread the line, and took it for “presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. :)

[gidget7]

Interesting, and interesting name. Wonder is there is lineage there?

[pillut48]

Does Webster fit the TEA party conservative rules? If so, where can I donate to his campaign??

That clown Grayson almost makes me lose my religion every time I hear him speak. Ack! >:-(

[tcrlaf]

Grayson has over $1.5 MILLION cash on hand as of March 31. He’s gotten 2 and 1/2 MILLION DOLLARS from the lunatics at Daily Kos in the last year.

As much as i’d like to see this steaming pile of excrement go, I’m not holding my breath.

[BP2]

Wow, Alan Grayson ... the Florida Congressman who somehow makes the other slimy Democratic politicians seem just a little less slimy.

About the most appropriate comment that could be uttered about Grayson, his uncordial discourse while representing his Constituents, and his overall lame-brained antics is ...

[Carling]

Yep. Plus, Jeb being there would give the Dems the “Bush’s puppet” meme.
