Alan Grayson has been out of office for more than a year, but his fundraising emails keep coming.

Soon, the Florida Democratic Party could find out on which race all that money could be spent. And it may not like the answer.

One expert said a scenario that worries party leaders is a primary battle against U.S. Rep. Darren Soto, D-Kissimmee, who succeeded Grayson in District 9 in Osceola County and southern Orange County.

“He doesn’t care what people think, including his own party,” said Aubrey Jewett, a professor of political science at the University of Central Florida who closely follows local politics. “That endears himself to some people and drives some people crazy. That’s the nature of Alan Grayson.”

Figured Grayson came from District 9.

Alan Grayson, the guy who took the coo-coo out of Coco Puffs.

His first term was in District 8. Then the Orlando folks figured put what a kook he was.

An "oldie", but still applies:

“Dis” Grayson is very challenged.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Reps should support him.

Wife beating Alan Grayson ? Yeah he’s not missing a few screws or anything. Makes Adam schiff-for-brains look mild.

I remember the media called him a genius in the stock market. It is pretty easy to make millions when you are exempt from insider trading laws.

Bring on the popcorn!

Democrats to Alan Grayson: DIE QUICKLY.

[Strac6]

He would have no chance. It’s a very Hispanic district.

In addition, he would have to compete in the primary, and the voters in primaries at the Congressional level are overwhelmingly hard-core “Loyal Party People”

Plus, he is the worlds biggest AH.

Grayson needs to campaign...I’m making popcorn...(today is National Popcorn Day) so I can watch to nutcase primary each other...

[Deplorable American1776]

He got his education degree in stock markets from the Hillary School of Cattle Futures, Real Estate Dealings and Insider Trading...😁

Grayson was actually in a mental institution for awhile .
He was also charged with sexual harrassment by a former coworker .

The Dems will kill his return.

Kissimmee is all PR Dem now anyways .

[Boogieman]

I figured he would be too busy starring in the latest “Shrek” movie.
