quote:Reid served as chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission from 1977 to 1981. When Jack Gordon, La Toya Jackson's future agent and husband, offered Reid a $12,000 bribe to get approval of new games for casinos, Reid brought in the FBI to tape Gordon's bribery attempt and arrest him. After FBI agents interrupted the transaction, as prearranged, Reid lost his temper and began choking Gordon, saying "You son of a bitch, you tried to bribe me!"

last i saw grayson was leading the polls (i dont think ive noticed a poll in a month or so though, maybe something's come out i missed, i don't follow florida politics especially). however, people were expecting that murphy's proven ability to run ahead of obama in his congressional district contrasted with grayson's inability to do the same in his, plus murphy's assload of money, plus the fact that murphy is centrist as gently caress and florida kinda is too, not to mention this gigantic pile of obvious poo poo to pay for ads attacking grayson on, would eventually eventuate in winning polling numbers. i guess there's still a ways to go yet

The FL senate primary isn't until August so who the hell knows, but I'm guessing either Dem candidate would lose to the Republican candidate because voters here were retarded enough to elect Rick Scott twiceGyges posted:Grayson runs a hedge fund that was invested in a gold mine known to use slave labor.

Fullhouse posted:The FL senate primary isn't until August so who the hell knows, but I'm guessing either Dem candidate would lose to the Republican candidate because voters here were retarded enough to elect Rick Scott twice It wasn't unprompted. Grayson challenged Reid about Reid's support for Murphy in the Senate race (and apparently demanded that Reid say his name for some reason??). Reid told him he's a piece of poo poo and that he hopes he loses. If you know anything about Grayson, you know that he's an aggressive rear end in a top hat who likes to start fights. And with the way the general is shaping up the Dems have a shot at the Florida Senate seat, so I'd prefer they actually nominate a candidate who could win it.

In presidential elections Florida is better than even odds to go Democrat, in off years even Rick Scott can win as a Republican. Sadly I won't be able to vote in the Democratic Senate primary this year. I had to switch to Republican since our piece of poo poo State Attorney got one of her donors to qualify as a write in candidate for her positions, closing the primary and ensuring only Republicans decide her fate. Also it's my only real option to vote on who is going to be the new congressman for District 4.

Florida's always been an odd duck (though I guess it's rather typical overall) in that it's a swing state but its state government is largely Red so in order to make any meaningful votes at that level if not residing in the Miami area, registering Republican and voting in primaries becomes an unfortunate necessity.

District 4 is always going to be super Republican as long as District 5 is all of the areas with people possessing a tan. I'm actually way more pissed off at Angela Corey getting her election closed by having a supporter qualify as a write in candidate. Her campaign manager helped the guy, who says he thinks she should be reelected and has donated to her, get on the ballot as soon as she got an actual challenger.

FlamingLiberal posted:It helps the GOP significantly that the gubernatorial elections in this state keep falling during midterms Just like a majority of other states. Seriously, I know Florida had a ballot initiative to change it but its not like gubernatorials during midterms is odd or even bad. Hell, you think you see Republican waves durring midterms now, just wait til you see what it looks like in a year when only a senatorial election (or, worse, only house elections) is on the agenda. Though I must say that its not all that odd either, Ohio is another one of those states that is traditionally Republican at a lower level while PA is split fifty/fifty. And then on the other hand there's places like Kentucky and Arkansas that, at least historically, split the other way with Democratic state governments and Republican national representatives.

He's earned it. Also Grayson is kind of like the Ted Cruz of the left with a bit less obstruction. He should be turfed out now to prevent him later on loving the country over to keep/win a seat, UCF votes be damned. It's an engineering-heavy school so most of those voters would just turn out to be assholes anyway.

Looks like this year's RINO hunting season is off to a good start. http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2016/05/mccain-in-deep-trouble-in-gop-primary-trump-clinton-close-in-az.html McCain In Deep Trouble in GOP Primary; Trump, Clinton Close in AZ quote:PPP's new Arizona poll finds that John McCain has a negative approval rating with Republican primary voters, and is at pretty serious risk of losing nomination for another term. Only 35% of GOP voters approve of the job McCain is doing to 50% who disapprove. He's in particularly poor standing with conservative voters. Among 'somewhat conservative' voters his approval spread is 33/52, and among 'very conservative' voters it drops all the way down to 18/67.

And the Democratic candidate for Senate in Kentucky is now an openly gay man. I'm happy with this choice. Of all the people we could pick to lose to Rand, this is the best one. After Kim Davis, and all the jokes about our state the coastal elites make, we could definitely use the good PR. http://www.wkyt.com/content/news/Mayor-Jim-Gray-among-those-vying-for-a-US-Senate-seat-379758551.html

Jerry Manderbilt posted:Hope he's a good enough standard bearer to keep your state house blue and RTW out State house will most likely be run against Matt Bevin who is turning out to be GOP Obama for the state. His approval rating 6 months into his term is actually the exact same as Obama's statewide approval rating at 33%. This also makes him the most unpopular governor in the history of the state, being 2 points less popular than Ernie Fletcher and Paul E. Patton were at the height of their scandals. To give you an idea of Kentucky's pain tolerance for corruption, Fletcher's scandal was pardoning every member of his administration after they were all indicted for corruption Gerald Ford style and Patton's scandal was giving out political favors for sex. Bevin managed to beat both of those just by being a tremendous rear end in a top hat. BIG FLUFFY DOG has issued a correction as of 01:04 on May 18, 2016 |

FlamingLiberal posted:I thought there was a contingent of Bevin voters who thought he wouldn't follow through with it? It's not just Kynect. He also has had a very unpopular budget filled with draconian cuts that led to a protracted budget fight, and had unexpected problems with Benefind which was intended to be a sister-system to Kynect for non-medical-based welfare which led to 50,000 people who qualified for welfare being kicked off of the roles due to a computer glitch. He tends to pick fights that are totally unnecessary such as his war with the Beshear dynasty, that as much I dislike perpetuating stereotypes about our state, can only be described as reminiscent of the Hatfield's and the McCoy's. He's also botched some personal image issues, for example, he attempted to achieve a GOP majority house before November by appointing enough Democrats to statewide positions that Special Elections would give the GOP total control. (This is a really common tactic for Kentucky Governors to remove political opponents. It gets them out of the public eye, while being seen as a promotion and making your administration look bi-partisan. Beshear gave his opponent for re-election a lifetime judicial post, for example.) He released a video the night before the election showing him sneaking up on an empty House chamber at 11AM on a Monday, to rally his base by saying that the Democrats weren't doing their job. The Democrats responded by immediately releasing photos showing them in the office building across the street where the Legislature does all conference and caucus meetings and pointing out that the work-week doesn't start until the late afternoon on Monday so that Legislators from the far-west and east can spend the weekend in their districts. Matt Bevin looked stupid at best and dishonest at worst. It ended up back-firing so badly that the Democrats ended up gaining a seat in the election designed to wipe them out. He also has bad habits which are incredibly easy to mock similar to the GOP's Golfing Obama Jokes. Chief among these is his habit of taking selfies which is so bad that the 2nd most popular nickname for him among Democrats after Beavis is Selfie Governor. He thought that this was an endearing character trait instead of something people picked up on to make fun of his narcissism, so he had his office start a Facebook contest called #BevinSelfie where he posts his favorite selfies he took in the last week, and whichever one gets the most likes becomes his Cover Photo. He began this contest while critiquing the General Assembly for not doing the jobs they were elected to do. But aside from the Governor Gossip, no. Clinton's made enough poorly chosen comments about Coal, that she would be DOA in the state if she were running against the dog mayor of Rabbit Hatch. EDIT: quote:Chances are he's surprised since people elected him in part to get rid of Kynect. Sure not everyone in KY is to blame for that but there's probably a hell of a lot more than 33%. Accounting for the turn-out of an off-year election nobody was enthusiastic about, only 17% of the Commonwealth voted for him. It is entirely possible he has lost zero support.
