Support the independent voice of South Florida and help keep the future of New Times free.
Though the new Florida congressional district lines haven't been finalized, candidates for office in what will be the new 27th District are starting to mobilize -- former Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson, who was booted out of his District 8 office in 2010, raised more than half a million dollars between January and September of last year. Republican opponent Mark Oxner hasn't raised anything yet, according to the latest Federal Election Commission filings, but he has released his first attack ad... we think.
There is no explanation of why the only specific attack on Grayson is to turn him into a bird and have him squawking. Take
