1. If he had any dirt on him, the RW Smear Machine would have shown their cards by now...
So I think it will take a Dean moment... contrived, of course.

The public might just be too smart for that now. Maybe.

2. I look to see him elected to the Senate someday!
He's not going anywhere from Congress. I think he enjoys what the Pubs are throwing at him, and he's making his name well known in the process!

7. ding ding ding
We have a winner. All they have to do is ignore him like they did Edwards. The only reason they're putting him on the screen now is they're hoping that something will happen and they can tear him down publicly. Can't very well do that if they don't build him up first.

5. From what I understand, Grayson is independently wealthy
And that means that he's a real threat to those who don't like what he's saying.

So they really have only two choices. Ignore him or "the small plane" option.

Alan: Stay out of small planes. Our enemies will do anything, ANYTHING to stop the Democratic agenda. And your efforts to make their agenda public, apparent, and reveal how disgusting it is, is a threat to them.

Millions of us are behind you. Unfortunately, we can't protect you from them.

8. I hope he knows he will be targeted with prostitues coming on to him and such.
GOP would do that to any rising star.
