SWEET: “Angry” Alan Grayson losing to Daniel Webster

Alan Grayson is a first class horse’s ass, who made himself a target of conservatives nationwide and deliberately lied in a campaign ad. 

Now, a new Sunshine State News Poll shows Republican Challenger Daniel Webster pulling away in the race for Florida's 8th Congressional District.

At this point in the race, Webster’s lead appears to be insurmountable, and Grayson’s entire campaign strategy appears to have backfired on him.

You know you’re in trouble when the story reporting the poll results describes you as “increasingly malodorous.”

Holding a steady 7-point lead over a controversial and increasingly malodorous incumbent, Republican Daniel Webster is poised to knock out U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, a new Sunshine State News Poll shows.

Webster, a former state senator, leads Grayson, D-Orlando, 48-41. Florida TEA Party candidate Peg Dunmire garnered 4 percent, No Party Affiliation candidate George Metcalfe got 1 percent, and 5 percent of respondents were undecided.
In a previous poll, conducted Sept. 25, Webster led Grayson 43-36, an identical 7-point margin.

"Webster has to be the favorite here. Grayson has failed to turn his negative image around, and is still viewed in a negative light by a 55-38 margin," said Jim Lee, president of Voter Survey Service, which conducted both polls. "This means Grayson has very little if any room to grow."

Poll wonks can find the crosstabs for the survey here (PDF).

This District went for Obama in 2008, but Grayson’s favorability ratings are even lower than the President’s in the region. It just goes to show that constantly being a horse’s ass catches up with you sooner or later.  Grayson is an embarrassment to the 8th Congressional District electorate, and they appear to have had enough of him.

Contessa Brewer vs. Alan Grayson: Liberal hack vs. liberal wack

That Grayson would even stoop as low as he did with the “Taliban Dan” ad is bad enough.  But the ridiculous attempt to defend the ad shows that this man has no business in Congress.

Contessa Brewer fits right in at MSNBC.  She’s an unabashed liberal hack.  But you have to give credit where credit is due, and she gets props for not letting Grayson off the hook, here.

Fortunately, Grayson’s sleaziness isn’t completely lost on the Orlando area voters in his District.  A new Sunshine State News Poll shows “Taliban Dan” Webster sporting a seven-point lead.

What surprises me is that there are 36% of the voters in that District who either don’t know how slimy this Grayson creature is, or they know full well what kind of scum he is and are willing to support him, anyway.

Orlando, you can do so much better than Alan Grayson.
