So Stacey Abrams is somewhat rightfully credited for delivering Georgia to Biden.

Could Stephanie Murphy be another politician to forgo a run for higher office to increase voter turnout?

Not really. If anyone has that potential it would be Debbie Mucarsel-Powell.

Actual importance of the Abrams efforts are wildly overstated but I don't think any of the people mentioned ITT are going to replicate it. Someone like Desmond Meade, maybe.

The truth is that Florida is a lot more complicated than Georgia, which is at its core a Southern state and so can be organized like a Southern state. Florida has a lot of overlapping but largely independent political scenes; there's no reason to believe some Blue Dog congresswoman from Orlando suburbia knows anything about maxxing out voter turnout in, say, Little Haiti. And there's equally little reason to believe a Miami ex-Congresswoman knows anything about the black voters in Madison or Jasper.

Not event the ghost of Lawton Chiles riding on the back of a meth-addicted alligator, delivering Publix coupons, could deliver Florida for the Democrats.

Ignore user "Progressive Pessimist," his schtick is hating Florida to make himself feel better about living in New Jersey. You shouldn't take anything he says seriously.

I can't take your insults seriously when you're trying to reason with Olawakandi.

Stacey Abrams had little to do with Georgia flipping, all of the Dem gains were in the suburbs. The Atlanta metro counties are much more educated than populated FL ones like Pasco, Polk, Volusia.

That poll had Crist up by 1. May I remind that DeSantis did a net 4 points better than his polling average. The pollster was also from Crist’s hometown.
