In a major victory for President Barack Obama, Democratic U.S. Sen. Barbara Mikulski of Maryland announced her  support for the Iran nuclear deal Wednesday, providing the White House the votes it needs to prevent Republicans from scuttling the agreement. That hardly means the move is popular with the public, at least here in Florida. According to a Quinnipiac survey taken last week, 61 percent of Floridians oppose the deal, as does every Republican in the Florida congressional delegation, and some Democrats as…

Mitch Perry Report for 8.26.15 — Alan Grayson thriving with small-dollar donations

A Quinnipiac poll released Tuesday shows that none of the Democratic or Republicans running for the U.S. Senate next year in Florida are well known enough to ask voters who they would vote for next year. That seems hard to believe when one of those candidates is Alan Grayson, but so be it.
