45. they're the most similar races to compare b/c they're both STATEWIDE

so, the poster was actually spot-on. The fact that this comes in a Presidential year only counts MORE in Grayson's favor b/c presidential years bring out party ticket voters.

While there's no guarantees in anything, the history most certainly does suggest a Grayson Democrat than a Crist-Dem any day of the week. The history of the last 17 of 18 races run in Florida ALL point to losing Centrists.

The history of the last 2 Dem Governor (statewide) candidates shows that Centrists simply can't push one of these guys into the winner's circle.

It's the definition of insanity to keep doing the same thing and expecting different results.
