He's a representative in one of the most Conservative areas of Florida. More members of Congress should take a lesson from Alan Grayson. The Republicans are already mounting a financial drive to raise money for his opponent.

Keith Olbermann's Special Comment on Health Care Reform
By way of The Huffington Post
Olbermann delivered an hour-long "Special Comment" tonight on the urgent need for health care reform. Drawing on his personal experiences with the system, especially the ordeal of his father falling gravely ill and being hospitalized, Olbermann describes a decaying system that is failing to fulfill one of the most important priorities we have as a nation: taking care of our citizens.
Olbermann particularly targets the insurance companies, illustrating how their business models are more focused on making money than helping people, which leads to very perverse incentives. The insurance companies are concerned about profit, which is why they're fighting against health reform. Olbermann concludes, "The insurance companies are at war with America."
At the end of the show, Olbermann states that he is going to demonstrate his support for reform by donating money to help the establishment of free clinics in the capital cities of each of the states of the six senators who are blocking reform. He will offer further information on how other can participate.

White House Calls Out Matt Drudge
In a video posted on YouTube and the White House blog , the Obama administration fired back at the Drudge Report Tuesday, part of a fresh "viral" pushback over what it called a "campaign of misstatements and outright falsehoods" on health care. "There are a lot of very deceiving headlines out there right now, such as this one," said White House aide Linda Douglass.
