#2 --A little about Grayson and his handler, Bill Hillsman (mostly from Wiki) if I may, a few details:

Grayson, Fla-CD8, Bronx born, HARVARD lawyer (JFK sch of Govt).

In the 2000's, a plaintiff attorney specializing in 'whistleblower' fraud cases aimed at Iraq War contractors (making $Millions).

After losing '06 Fla-CD Dem primary,
hired Bill Hillsman (Chicago born) political consultant and ad exec. (philosophy- outrageous/cheap ad/'bang-for-your buck/get noticed). Over the years, Hillsman represented Wellstone, Ventura, and Nader, etc.

In 2002, Hillsman was named a "Resident Fellow in Harvard's JFK Sch of Govt"

In 2004, Hillsman briefly represented Illinois Republican Senate nominee Jack Ryan (who was supposed to be Barack Obama's opponent), before Ryan left the race because of a Sex Scandal.

In 2008, Grayson successfully defeated a 4 time republican incumbent for the Fla CD8 seat.

Hopefully, Mr.Grayson will hold that seat no longer come November..
