Heavy Turnout in Florida Hurting Grayson

Heavy turnout in the Florida 9th Congressional District appears to show that incumbent Democrat Alan Grayson may be in trouble. According to the Orlando Sentinel there is a larger than expected crowd waiting to vote in the district.

The Sentinel is also reporting that overall vote turnout may approach 44%, a high amount for midterm races. Furthermore, Republicans are usually known for a higher turnout in midterms, meaning that the people of the district may be coming out to throw out Grayson.


It appears that Grayson is on the ropes as polls are showing him consistently behind Republican Daniel Webster. Webster was also helped by Grayson's heavy-handed polls accusing him of being a member of the Taliban and dodging the draft, which were both obviously false.

That contest helped drive voters into the Kinneret Towers polling station on Delany Avenue throughout the lunch-hour period, and voters such as John Deatherage said it was Republicans at the top of the ticket that lured him there.

The equity trader said he would vote for Webster against Grayson because the outspoken Democrat was "very, very liberal."

Republican Betsy Moricle said she was going to vote for Webster, too, adding that Grayson "gets under my skin."

So far so good. If Grayson loses, America can sleep a little better.
