With Barack Obama winning more than 66 percent of the district in 2008 and Democratic U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor winning more than 70 percent of the vote that year, Republican Mike Prendergast, a retired Army officer and one time aide to U.S. Sen. Bob Graham, has his work cut out for him if he wants to knock off the incumbent.

Libertarian Senate candidate Alex Snitker isn't looking to pick a fight with his party, but he quibbles with the immigration statement put out by the national chairman, Mark Hinkle.
In a news release, "Time to Re-Legalize Immigration," Hinkle says it's time to demolish the "myth" that a welfare state acts as a magnet for illegal immigration. Bottom line: Hinkle wants to legalize illegal behavior, and let Americans pay the price.

When you're losing, what do you do?
Scare the pants off senior voters.
That looks to be the tactic of Democrat Congressman Alan Grayson's latest ad featuring four senior citizens panicked out of their minds because Dan Webster, Grayson's Republican opponent in CD 8, is going to cut $1,000 a year from their Social Security.
