Man, I wish I had some donuts.
Libertarian Party of Florida
He hasn't held office. Jolly is against Obamacare and says he has goals of lowering taxes and cutting spending. He believes Israel is one of the premier allies of the United States and has a goal of not cutting the United States commitment to the military and to its allies. He is pro-life, says that he "support[s] the constitutional right to keep and bear arms," and opposes amnesty for illegal immigrants. Where's the RINO?
Margin of error, vote fraud, a libertarian spoiler, as well as the rat party candidate are a lot to overcome for a pubbie to win nowadays. Glad to see Jolly hopefully pulled this off.
We’ll see if we can keep this victory, or if it will be snatched away through a phony re-count. I wish the results hadn’t been so close. Did she actually concede? That may seal the deal right away.
If the GOP-er was flawed and running against a skilled DNC campaigner...
I suddenly feel a LOT better about November.
if you know more than I do about him, then I am encouraged by your statement
Looks like a 3400 vote difference. Even if the count went 80/20 for the Dem they’ have to manufacture about 5700 votes, which is a large enough number that it’d have to be spread across alot of precincts, and that would hopefully raise too many flags. Let’s hope that is the case.
The MSM won’t see it as a ‘bell weather’ - it never is when a Republican wins.
Democrat wins by 2% - “It’s a Mandate !!!” Republican wins by 2% “It’s a squeaker with no wider implications.”
**Not a smidgen of MSM liberal bias, ha
If Sink would’ve won this, there would be pics of Pelosi with her giant gavel everywhere.
My preference is Cruz / Paul, but I like your choice too.
If he does, it just goes to show what an incredibly stupid Nation we live in to piss away hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars just to do it all over again in 8 months. One would think the Florida Assembly could have voted to delay the special election until the general election.
That should scare the hell out of obamination RATs, that even with their usual throw-in monkey wrenches such as patsy “libertarians” or patsy “Conservatives” they couldn’t steal this one. There are frightening nightmares inside the Occupied White House tonight.
On what basis would there be a recount?

Lower Taxes
Cut Wasteful Spending
Secure America's Borders
Lower the National Debt
Replace ObamaCare with Free Market Health Care Policy
Respect Our Constitution & Bill of Rights
bump (2nd)! People are too quick to call RINO these days (without even any proof).
The fix is in
Republican will lose in the recount. There’s a missing ballot box
Tell me, what is FL law on a recount? Less than 1% difference?
Adelaide Alexander "Alex" Sink (born June 5, 1948) is an American politician of the Democratic Party. Sink was the Chief Financial Officer for the state of Florida and treasurer on the board of trustees of the Florida State Board of Administration. She was the Democratic nominee for Governor of Florida and faced Republican nominee Rick Scott in the 2010 Florida gubernatorial election, losing to Scott by a 1% margin
I know...’course those are the words out of the mealy-mouths of Obama butt-kissers like Mark Halperin and the Politico hacks...yet still they expected her to win.
