I have done a few diaries supporting the candidacy of Dr. Stephen Blythe for Congress. It is the FL-15 which has a +4 PVI, and it is an open seat race with the retirement of Dave Weldon. Registration has gone from 35% Democrat and 40% Republican to 38%/40% in the past few months, and there is every reason to believe that more non-affiliated voters will also vote Democratic this year
Blythe is a progressive with a serious manner. His opponent is a hardcore conservative who supports the worst of the Republican agenda.
So why -- given that this is a tidal wave change year, with the conservative agenda being rejected by reality and the voters and with Democratic registration up everywhere, open seat, PVI only +4R with trend to more Democrats in dsitrict -- is this race being completely ignored by the media, netroots, DCCC?
