But at least we might be getting a new GOPer in Florida 24, if Lou holtz (yes that Lou Holtz) decides to run.

For me as a Democrat, Bachmann is the gift that keeps on giving– the wing nut who scares indies and moderate Republican voters over to our party. That is what 8 years of Bush-Cheney did to my psyche :-) .

My read on the situation is that it’s a dead heat between Clark and Reed. It’s a long way off from the endorsement and Reed is working doubly hard at getting it, while bringing in great in-state fund raising numbers.

In my opinion, Reed is the best candidate. She’s not tied to an extremely partisan voting record, she’s an expert in health care and education and she’s able to speak plainly and clearly on many topics. I really do hope she gets the nomination in the end.

And you can help her to that end by donating at her website:
