Debbie Wasserman Schultz considering 2016 Senate bid (for Rubio's seat)
Politico ^ | February 17, 2015 | Marc Caputo

Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Democratic National Committee chair, is strongly considering a bid for U.S. Senate, calculating that having Hillary Clinton at the top of the 2016 ticket would help lift her candidacy in a year-of-the-woman campaign.

Driving Wasserman Schultz’s interest: the increasing likelihood that Sen. Marco Rubio will run for the White House and that he ultimately won’t seek reelection in 2016, Democratic insiders familiar with her thinking say.

Question of the day: Are Floridians really stupid enough to elect this twit to a non-gerrymandered office?

That would be just the insurance policy the GOP needs to keep the seat in Republican hands should Rubio decide to run for POTUS.

If she only had to run every 6 years, wouldn’t she put on weight?

Of course she wants this seat, no surprise here. But is it the same year she would run for re-election? If so that’s a problem as she has no talent for anything but government.

Keep in mind several things:

1. Most "Floridians" aren't from Florida;

2. If emperor 0bama gets his way, most "Floridians" won't even be Americans;

3. Broward and Palm Beach Counties, home of "The Swinging Chads" have pretty much perfected vote fraud.

Well, many of my fellow Floridians have been stupid enough to serial-elect Debbie, Nelson, a convicted felon, that beast from Jacksonville, crazy-as-a-shithouse-rat wife-beater from Orlando, so yes, L’il Debbie has a good chance....

I think you’re right. Even given out and out voter fraud in Dade, Palm Beach and Broward counties, I still don’t see her as winning a state-wide election.

But the GOP nominee (whether it be Rubio or someone else), shouldn’t take this race for granted Debbie Washedup-Shitz should be able to raise a fair amount of money for her race.

Yeah, just like ole Debbie, who hails from Queens, NY, most of them are NY “transplants.”

The question remains whether Debbie has raised enough money for mayonnaise for her hair during the campaign.

Rube the RINO’s early efforts at being a McCain mini-me cooked his goose with me, despite his later efforts to walk it back a bit.

Better to elect Blabbermouth and be stabbed from the front.
