Fla Dems Claim Momentum After Jacksonville Victory

Politic365 - Alvin Brown campaign for Jacksonville Mayor

We warned you. As the news sets in that Jacksonville elected a Democrat mayor for the first time in 20 years, the partisan spin has heated up. In an email to grassroots supporters, Florida Democratic Party Chairman Rod Smith said, "While a mere 1,648 votes may seem like a small number, it’s representative of a huge swell of Democratic supporters in Jacksonville, in North Florida and across the entire state that are working together to elect Democratic leaders that share our values and ideals. It was truly a victory for us all." As the race relates to upcoming elections, Smith added, "This momentum will help us as we work together to deliver Florida’s electoral votes to President Obama in 2012." Expect more crowing by the FDP as Democrats struggle to claw back from debilitating losses in 2010.
