there's an election today to fill Robert Wexler's former seat in the House. The district is heavily dem and should be an easy retention. but in the current political climate (and this is FL) all bets are off.
Wexler thinks there will be an upset. Hope he's wrong.
U.S. House race to test GOP's upset theory
The GOP challenger in today's special election to replace former U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler says he's banking on public disdain for President Barack Obama's health care bill and low congressional approval ratings to deliver an upset to his Democratic opponent, widely seen as the front-runner. The contest between Democratic state Sen. Ted Deutch and Republican Ed Lynch will be the country's first U.S. House race of 2010. Wexler, a seven-term Democrat from Boca Raton, resigned in January to lead a Middle East think tank. He was hugely popular in District 19, which includes parts of Broward and Palm Beach counties and has more than twice as many registered Democrats than Republican — 234,000 to about 111,000.
