Here’s a state-level election mailer that somehow found its way into my mailbox this week, even though I am not in the contested district:
Yeah, fuck OFF, Augie, with your fancy-pants legal practice and insufferably smug Northeastern attitude! Cockroach Acres don’t need your high-flying, vacation-home-having Yankee superiority!
Florida is a bug-infested paradise for shadowy PACs, and it can be difficult to determine the agenda of the folks behind mailers such as the one above. But a couple of minutes of online sleuthing reveals that this mailer is almost certainly from an organization supporting one of the other Democrats in that race.
In Florida, we had our presidential primary on March 15, but voting day for the other primary contests is in a couple of weeks. That’s why I’m encouraged by polling that shows “Lil’” Marco Rubio within the margin of error against Patrick Murphy, the Democrat who is likely to win the upcoming primary.
Murphy hasn’t even consolidated the Democratic vote yet, and he’s already pulling even with Lil’ Marco, who may get screwed by Trump TWICE. That would be a beautiful thing.
