FL House Dems Discard Toss Up District as GOP "Lean"

How can we win when we don't run candidates in districts we can win???? The FL Dem Party needs to grow a pair, get some party discipline and go on offense. The Reps have given them enough ammo. Now start firing at them!!

Prior to now, there has always been speculation that the Democrats in House Victory have not taken the legislative races seriously. During the days before the filing deadline, a number of Democrats throughout the state filed as candidates for the State House without even speaking to either House Victory or the Florida Democratic Party. If it wasn’t for these self-recruited Democratic candidates, the Republicans possibly could have retained the majority on the day of the filing deadline.

Even with that, we now understand that important districts for Democrats to win to regain control of the Florida House are being considered safe “GOP” districts by House Victory, even though they are not.
