He just picked up an Allen West (yah I know...) endorsement and now support is ballooning.

Check this out...

This guy knocks it out of the park. He's up against a liberal republican (Peters) that is backed by the Latvala's (local "kingmaker" liberal republican state senator) and a washington lobbyist, David Jolly.

His back ground is crazy cool. Blue Angel Pilot. Marine General. Law degree. Commercial airline pilot. Hero. Vet. Amazing.

I've tossed in $250 so far.
 


Debate forum with Mark and front runner Jolly. They had about 3 news cameras there and about 7 small cameras there filming the event.

I look at polls like this:

http://stpetepolls.org/surveys/special_election_2014_CD13_20131218.html

And see that either Peters or Jolly top most of the polls. And I get people will say that polls don't matter- despite posting them often in places like Rand Paul's sub forum- but numbers and donations look to give Peters and/or Jolly the edge. Where's the implication that Bircher is 'kicking butt'?

To qualify the statement...

Since those polls he's picked up a number of endorsements, more mailers, and a lot more stuff happening this next week. There hasn't been a poll in a while but I bet it's improved quite a bit since the last one. Also, been to multiple forums, debates, etc and press coverage is picking up and is overall very positive.

Peters and Jolly also went on a crazy attack fest on each other after that poll. Both should be dropping.
 
Looks like a loss here, unfortunately. Roughly the percentages being shown on the County's website (sorry, I don't have the link) with all precincts reporting are:
jolly: 44%
peters 30%
Bircher 24%

Hopefully he'll endorse jolly against sink to gain the favor of the state party, then try again for this or another office next year. That's the one nice thing about this election, even though it's a loss it can be used as a warm-up and name recognition building for running again as soon as next year.

edit: It's interesting that the results for Bircher and peters are pretty darn accurate to what the last few polls had been showing, and virtually all of the undecideds broke for jolly.
