Question: David Jolly is a registered Democrat. Would he be a viable Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Florida?

What do you mean by "viable"? What percentage chance of winning?

I would say about 50/50 in a strong Democratic year would be seen as "viable."

By "viable" I mean at least as strong as other possible Dem candidates.

As strong as any other candidate, probably.

But I donтАЩt think it matters. If you use James definition of 50/50 in a D wave, I donтАЩt think any D candidate is viable at this moment. Things may change though.

What do you think of Jolly running for Senate instead of governor?

I donтАЩt know enough to have an informed opinion, hence my question.

His congressional voting record is pretty standard-issue conservative, if possible I'd rather someone like Gwen Graham run for the Senate since she's probably a more reliable vote and I don't think Jolly has any electability value over her or Cava.

Jolly would probably lose a primary at this point-his best chance of getting elected to anything in the future is as an Independent.
