Nancy Pelosi Clearing the Decks for Alex Sink, NRCC Claims

Moments after Jessica Ehrlich pulled out of the special election for the congressional seat opened by the death of former U.S. Rep. Bill Young, Republicans are saying Democrats at the national level are clearing the decks for former state CFO Alex Sink. Ehrlich had been the Democratic candidate who challenged Young in 2012.

Katie Prill, a spokeswoman for the National Republican Campaign Committee, said U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and her allies did not want a primary to hurt Sinks chances.

Instead of letting Florida families decide, Alex Sink and Washington Democrats forced their will on voters by demanding Jessica Ehrlich get out of this race, Prill said on Wednesday. It looks like the only candidate acceptable for Nancy Pelosi and her Washington attack dogs is an extreme liberal like Alex Sink who has a record of wasting Florida taxpayers money.
