Two Florida Congression Races to Watch

Joe Garcia and Lori Edwards have a shot of winning. Garcia is running against the scandal-plagued David Rivera. Polls have showed the race to be a toss up. What will hurt Rivera is that the 25th district Republicans have done a good job with voter turnout. Nate Silver has Rivera winning. What troubles me is if Rivera wins it will send the message that corruption is rewarded.

Edwards maybe helped in her race 12th district race against Dennis Ross. Tea Party candidate Randy Wilkenson may take some votes away from Ross. It is hard to say how much of a factor. I wrote a post on how Edwards primary candidate Doug Tudor would not have a chance to win. I got hammered in my comments by Tudor supporters. Now Edwards might win the race. I backed Edwards because I am a realist. It is pointless to back candidates who can not win.
