This looks like it'll be a good one.

Street Fighting Man: The Political Mind of Alan Grayson is a documentary feature about the re-election campaign of Congressman Alan Grayson (D - FL), who famously said the Republican’s health care plan was simply, “don’t get sick, and if you do, die quickly.” In the traditional sense, the film is a non-partisan look at Grayson’s bid to become the first Democrat to ever win a second term in Florida’s conservative 8th District. In the not-so-traditional sense, it is a satiric look at the political state of our Union.

Republicans are calling Grayson “Enemy Number 1” in the mid-term election. Defeating Grayson is viewed not only as a win for their party, but a symbolic blow to the Democratic Party. This fight for the 8th, with all its competitiveness, juvenilia, and in-fighting, is a microcosm of politics in America in 2010.

3. Anytime we get a Democrat with the guts to stand up for something

and therefore to fight for it if necessary, the Republicans
go after that person. Keep the Democratic Party a bunch of
wimps and the GOP gets and controls power. Smart Strategy,
If we are dumb enough to permit them to do this all the time
we deserve what we get.

4. and he charged us for a stairway

to nowhere.... It is Daniel Webster, he is not all that strong of a candidate. Grayson can beat him. I will vote for Grayson, and I am putting signs up this weekend.
