For those who don't know the name, Alan Grayson - not to be confused with the Duke basketball player Grayson Allen - is sort of the Dennis Kucinich of Florida. Currently in the US House and running to replace Rubio, who isn't running for reelection.
He's right on most issues and I would certainly expect him to support Bernie.
What makes his announcement interesting is 2 things.
First, he's a Dem Super-delegate.
Second, he asked people to vote on line to decide who he would cast his Super-delegte vote for.
Here's his announcement:
I hereby endorse Bernie Sanders to be our Democratic nominee for President of the United States. I will vote for him as a Super-delegate at the Democratic National Convention. And I enthusiastically join, shoulder to shoulder, his political revolution.
Perhaps inspired by the Bernie Sanders message of “Not me. Us.”, for the past several days, I have appealed to Democrats across the nation to tell me for whom I should vote, as a Super-delegate at the Democratic National Convention. The response has been absolutely overwhelming. Almost 400,000 Democrats voted at GraysonPrimary.com. More than the number who voted in the South Carolina primary. More than the number who voted in the New Hampshire primary and the Nevada caucus combined.
The results: Sanders 86%, Clinton 14%. More than just a landslide. An earthquake.
