I've actually always wondered why McCain has never been pulled up on his serious anger management issues except in the Phoenix New Times - which no-one but deadbeats and Democrats reads anyway. Sheriff Joe's campaigns are always very, very ugly even when he's got no real challenger.

In the depths of Florida's 27th 9th House District there's a most interesting defeated primary candidate - Mark Oxner, who's apparently still trying to "help" the Republican cause in that District. I'd encourage anyone wanting a good laugh, or who wants to see the most unfair ever attack by association, to view his ads. After the top two or three videos, scroll down for the "ship" ad. www.youtube.com/user/MarkOxnerForCongresscorrected per David Boothroyd's post

Florida's 9th District seems to have a similarly likeable candidate on the other side of the political divide: www.washingtontimes.com/blog/watercooler/2012/oct/16/picket-alan-grayson-faces-tight-race-and-accusatio/#.UH98TlwsZMI.twitterFrom the Orlando Sentinel:Congressional candidates Alan Grayson and Todd Long took the gloves off Monday during a District 9 debate in Orlando that quickly became a verbal slugfest. Speaking before the Tiger Bay Club of Central Florida, Grayson, a Democrat, promoted his accomplishments during his term in Congress, while the Republican Long portrayed himself as a solutions-oriented candidate who would not engage in personal attacks. But things got testy right away, with Long calling Grayson a "character assassin" and Grayson branding Long as "a towering hypocrite" and "a liar, too." In his opening statement, Long attacked Grayson for having referred to a female Federal Reserve adviser and former Enron lobbyist as a "K Street whore." Long called the 2009 comment sexist and demeaning. Grayson apologized at the time, but he defended the remark Monday. Lobbyists are commonly referred to that way, he said, "because they congregate on K Street [in Washington, D.C.], and they're whores." When Grayson interrupted him at one point, Long responded with: "You can shut up." Later, an audience member called out that he couldn't hear Long. "You're better off," Grayson quipped. When Grayson said he'd never been told to shut up during a debate before, he got a faux-sympathetic "awwww" from Long backers in the audience. When Long mentioned that he likes Democrats and independents, Grayson jumped in with: "How about me, Todd?" The candidates — both Orlando attorneys — expressed dismay about the negative tone, saying they'd never been in a similarly hostile debate. But they blamed each other for the confrontational exchange. Moderator Mike Synan of WOFL-Channel 35 asked the candidates to name one thing they respected about each other. "I respect that he knows how to lose," Grayson said of Long, who previously ran in GOP primaries in 2008 and 2010.

He's actually running in the 9th Congressional District, or rather he was: If you want to know what the 'die quickly' gibe is about, see

Thank you, David. Yes, you are right, he was running in the primary for FL-9 ..... I just got confused when "27" was mentioned in one of his many ads.
