Democrats in Florida's 13th Congressional District are in trouble. When the candidate the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee hoped to nominate refused to run, leaving them with the less-than-ideal option of endorsing a non-party affiliated political novice with an embellished resume, they held their noses and did so anyway.
But that was a mistake. The man they went out on a limb for -- and endorsed -- dropped out of the race today:

Dems' candidate to take on @DavidJollyCD13 - Ed Jany - is dropping out. Cites work conflict, days after we found holes in resume claims

Two months ago Rep. David Jolly (R-FL) won the bellwether special election in Floridas 13th Congressional District by only a handful of votes. Today there isnt even a candidate, much less a Democrat, for him to run against. Solid work, guys. Meanwhile, Democrats have no active candidate competing in the race at the moment and therefore must scramble to find someone to take on the (presumably) well-funded incumbent House Republican. Best of luck with that.
The National Republican Congressional Committees Katie Prill released the following statement:
Words cannot describe what an epic failure this congressional race has become for the DCCC and Florida Democrats. After a devastating loss and wasting millions in the special election, one thing remains very clear: President Obamas toxic agenda has cost the DCCC another seat that they couldnt afford to lose.
The other revelation in reporter William R. Levesque's story regarding Jany's academic credentials was that even though he attended the University of Minnesota as an undergraduate for four years, he did not receive a degree from the school, despite what it says on his LinkedIn resume.
Another fake. Kinda sounds like Hussein.
Not quite true. Jolly will have two opponents. One a libertarian, Lucas Overby who got 9.8% of the vote in the specail election (and still Jolly beat the dem) and Michael Stephen Levinson who is running as a write-in. Mr. Levinson’s website notes that he has been running for various offices since 1980.
Here is just a snippet of his wackyness:

The morons from everywhere else come here and infect my state.
Trouble ahead, trouble behind, don’t you know that notion just crossed my mind.
Jany, being a good Marine, immediately dropped out of the race..
I’ve recently arrived at a quality of life test for FL. The quality of life is inversely related to the distance of a Super Wal-Mart. Additionally, a Southern Baptist church with a plywood Jesus sign within ten miles is an excellent indicator of long-term property appreciation.

Well said. I go on record right now saying: I predict the Dems will lose 43 House Seats in November.

Well, when you’ve had your ‘nuff bro., pack up and head west. Come on over to Texas
So how much did this 'diploma mill' cost the US taxpayers in student loans and grants?
