Democrat Alan Grayson had been running to replace Republican Ric Keller as the congressman from Florida's 8th district. I see a lot of ads but this one just knocked me out.

Alan Grayson ( Blue America, FL-08) is exactly the kind of Democrat that we need. Not a timid, cautious, capitulating, impeachment-off-the-table Democrat like the party leadership, but a don't-give-an-inch, take-no-prisoners, put-the-criminals-in-jail Democrat. Check out his great interview with Matt Stoller.

Hell yeah, that’s the kind of ad all Democrats should be running. Howie has more: Blue America-endorsed candidate running against garden variety rubber stamp Republican Ric Keller in an Orlando district that has been turning blue. Early balloting started this week for Florida’s primary election and Alan has been the only candidate with [...]

As I've thought back on the 2008 election cycle, I began to think about what the best ads we've seen this year have been. The big question, of course, is how does one define "best." Seems to me there are two main qualities that define a good ad: the ad must be memorable and successful. Memorable is, of course, by definition subjective and for me an ad must either be out of the ordinary or provide...

As someone who is concerned about government accountability, I admire exceedingly Alan Grayson, now running for our 8th District here in Florida (see here and here ). He’s an attorney (see the Vanity Fair article about him here) who has aggressively and relentlessly pursued corrupt defense contractors/war profiteers in Iraq . Matt Stoller , who met and interviewed him, writes: Because of his track...

Alan Grayson is the Blue America-endorsed candidate running against garden variety rubber stamp Republican Ric Keller in an Orlando district that has been turning blue. Early balloting started this week for Florida's primary election and Alan has been the only candidate with a TV ad up-- and what a TV ad! If every Democratic candidate had an ad this powerful to run, we wouldn't be talking about 12-20...

By Creature "We'll put people in prison. We'll take away the thing that they care about the most, their money. They stole, they hurt the troops, they killed people, they hurt the taxpayers year after year and they've destroyed this economy.

By Libby Matt Stoller introduces us to Alan Grayson, Democratic candidate for Congress in Florida. He's the attorney of record in every single case now pending in Federal court involving war profiteers in Iraq. He's representing the whistleblowers. And this is the best campaign ad of the season so far. As Matt points out, "Democratic leaders, who tend towards a bipartisan approach to solving problems,...

Other candidates, you should be making ads like this one. Seriously.

In 2006 we had a crop of Congressional challengers that was poised to win in tough districts and take back the House and Sente. It was a cautious list, at times a moderate list, and while there have been some excellent progressive lawmakers from that group (Steve Cohen, John Hall, Bernie Sanders and Sherrod Brown come to mind), overall it was a list full of more Democrats instead of better ones. You...

How weird. This is Alan Grayson , candidate for Florida's 8th Congressional District, held for four terms by Republican Ric Keller. This is what we call Straight Talk. As far as small stakes political ads go, this one's got more bite than most. Nice set, nice delivery. Compelling message. And he didn't include his family or a dog or slow-mo shots of him shaking the hands of many ethnicities in the...
