Allison Tant Insists Florida Democrats' 'Bench is Stronger' After Getting Wiped Out in Elections

Despite former Gov. Charlie Crist going down to defeat, none of her partys other Florida Cabinets even coming close to beating Republicans and losing seats in the Florida House, Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Allison Tant insisted her bench is stronger after the elections.

Tant sent out an email on Wednesday night to supporters admitting last night's results werent what wed hoped for but they will never stop fighting for the people of Florida.

Charlie Crist and Annette Taddeo ran a campaign of optimism and compassion for the people of Florida, Tant wrote. Against the most difficult challenges, for the most important reasons, Charlie and his team worked their hearts out. I'm so proud of them -- and so is every single Florida Democrat.

But Florida Democrats arent resting, Tant added. Our bench is stronger today, with fresh faces to meet tomorrows challenges. Were not giving up the fight, because the stakes are too high.
