Biden to campaign for Rep. Grayson

[gateley]

/snip

Biden will attend an event on Monday for the first-term Democratic lawmaker, who's made waves during his term in Congress by taking outspoken liberal stances on issues. /snip

The stop on behalf of Grayson reflects the tight nature of the liberal's race against Republican Daniel Webster. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates the race as "lean Republican," in no small part due to Grayson's outspoken time in Congress.

He had said Republicans' plans for health reform is for sickly patients to "die quickly," and launched an add against his opponent, calling him "Taliban Dan."

Still, a win for Grayson would go a long way toward Democrats' effort to stave off the net loss of 39 seats that would hand control of the House to Republicans, and make GOP Leader John Boehner (Ohio) the speaker of the House.

1. I sent Alan $25.00 yesterday. I wish I could send more but SS doesn't give me much

flexibility. I truely hope he wins his race because he's the ONLY DEM. who has the guts to call the Pubbies what they really are!

2. We really need him - and I'm sure your contribution is much appreciated. I'm so

glad the WHY is sending "official" endorsement of Grayson. There was a post wondering if they wanted him to quietly go away since he can be controversial - so was happy to see this. And they're both straight talkers.

3. Is this race really that close?

Webster didn't even show up at the debates.

7. I was surprised to hear it was -- forget where I initially heard it, either here

or MSNBC (the only two places I "go") - and I even think Grayson may have been down a point or two? Hope somebody corrects me if I'm wrong, but I was pretty complacent "assuming" Grayson had it in the bag. Apparently not - no more than any other Dem, I guess.
