GOP continues courting others to challenge Grayson

Source: orlando sentinel

WASHINGTON - National Republicans met with two potential challengers to U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson on Wednesday as the GOP establishment continued to search for a candidate who can topple the outspoken freshman Democrat from Orlando.

State Rep. Eric Eisnaugle, R-Orlando, and businessman Bruce O'Donoghue sat down with GOP lawmakers and strategists from the National Republican Congressional Committee in meetings that participants described as productive -- although no verdict was reached.

"It's great to see that these folks are very serious about the direction that this country is going," said O'Donoghue, who wouldn't commit to run. "This race is going to draw national attention, and they wanted to prep me on what that meant."

The Capitol Hill meetings reflect a growing unease among national Republicans with the early field assembled to challenge Grayson, a GOP target since the wealthy attorney unseated former U.S. Rep. Ric Keller, R-Orlando, in a bruising election last year.

and the GOP less credible, if that's possible.

Sign here.

:rofl:

Definetely that.

GOP requirement: I want rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists.

Grayson has been a stand up guy, he is going to receive a lot money from progressives to help him, I don't see how this is going to be a problem.
The GOP will likely be dreaming up a scandal to manufacture against him, but that is their MO.

eventually really cross the line one of these days as he keeps saying edgier and brasher things....

He is on the path of ego fed self destruction.

Now, if you want to see someone who has really crossed the line, let me refer you to Michele Bachmann, Peter King, Mitch McConnell, Jean Schmidt, Patrick Henry, John Kline, or any of a host of Republican nitwits who have made outrageous statements that would have gotten any Democratic politician thrown out of office within seconds. And yet, every last one of these troglodytes continues to enjoy favored status in the rump party of conservative crazy.

Welcome to DU btw.

Grayson is the best thing to ever happen to Orlando and the Central Florida area.

He replaced that dud Ric Keller, in fact he was soundly defeated by a large majority in last year's elections.

I can see a Senator Grayson on the horizon.

:rofl:


Armando Gutierrez Jr., whazzup, dude?


Lordy, ANOTHER Republican just dropped out of Grayson race (#4 as of noon today), October 13, 2009



GOP continues courting others to challenge Grayson, October 29, 2009

you guys beat me to it....the first thing that popped into my head after reading the heading was...."good luck with that"
the delirious bastards that make up the Repuke party really are clueless about the fact that the country has moved on.....
we've got a way to go for the Dems to get some teeth, but the Repukes are so irrelevant.
News Flash: Alan Grayson is truly saying out loud what millions of us are thinking......

Can't imagine who they'd get to run...Eric Robert Rudolph? They'd have to spring him out of Alabama's big house....

Imagine the last Republican Presidential campaign ever staring 'B1' Bob Dornan and his faithful sidekick and Vice Presidential candidate Allen Keyes
