Today on Context Florida: Alan Grayson, Florida Supreme Court and Go Set a Watchman

in Apolitical/Top Headlines by

Today on Context Florida: Supporters and detractors of U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson agree: He’s a lightning rod. The Republican Party of Florida loves this about him because it provides fresh material for attack ads. The Democratic establishment hates it because it screws up the possibility of having a clean, organized, efficient, and mostly boring primary.

Today on Context Florida: Marco Rubio must be smiling, says Chris Timmons. The baby-faced U.S. senator and presidential hopeful is having the best two weeks of his life. Not only did he get needlessly razed by the arch-liberal New York Times in two attack pieces, he’s also receiving the cold shoulder by everybody’s who’s somebody in Florida’s Republican establishment. According to CNN, 11 of the 17 Republicans in Florida’s congressional delegation support Bush. Nevertheless, Rubio’s gotta be thinking: It’s 2010 all over again.…
