Thanks to Claymore, we were privy to the Democratic Underground’s live blog session with Alan Grayson<\/a>, the bullying braggart Congressman from the Bronx who represents Florida’s 8th district in Orlando. During that live blog session we were able to see Grayson’s response to such deep, hard-hitting and topical questions as “…why did you shave off the goatee? You looked so awesome-scary.”<\/p>\n

Well, according to the Washington Times<\/a>, Grayson is in danger of being retired;<\/p>\n

“It’s over – Alan Grayson is the surest loser in the House right now,” said David Wasserman, who covers House races for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.<\/p>\n

“Grayson has rubbed the voters of his district the wrong way. He misread his win in 2008 as an affirmation of his candidacy and his principles.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apparently, nationwide Leftist support for Grayson’s irritating behavior hasn’t influenced Orlando voters’ opinion of him (kind of the like the Right’s dislike of Nancy Pelosi doesn’t affect California voters).<\/p>\n

While Mr. Grayson’s take-no-prisoners approach may endear him to his liberal base, it may not play so well with the 24 percent of his Orlando district who are registered independents. Many of those unaffiliated voters who sided with President Obama – and Mr. Grayson – in 2008 appear ready to vote Republican this year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I may have to stock up on liquor for November 2d. I haven’t done a live blog session since the last election when TAH readers commiserated with us as we watched the inevitable outcome of that night. I may do it again, if there’s any interest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
