Highly doubt it's him.  Just looking at the time stamps on his replys and I'm guessing it's some staffer who read the questions, picked out a few, dictated the answers, and then some flunky did a copy and paste making sure to leave enough time between the posts to make it appear as though they were done in real time.  If it really is him, not only is he a bigger fool than I thought, he's desperate beyond measure.

Even if it's just a staffer, that the Grayson campaign went hat in hand to DU makes me laugh.

Grayson's very first post on DU was to start a thread, so the admins had to have done some minimal vetting in order to waive the post count requirement on starting threads.

He is also a listed donating member.  A small donation would be enough to verify that it was/is someone from Grayson's campaign.  When a user makes a donation, an email address is attached to it.  It's easy enough to link the email address to a user's account and the bank account it came from.  Grayson would have used his campaign account to do that to have it approved that quickly.

Issa posted this in the shoutbox, Alan Grayson is having a chat at DU, I'm doing my womanly duties in the house LOL..........cleaning and laundry so I can't go through the whole thread right now but I'll check it out later.

Mr. B refers to cleaning, laundry and suchlike as "wench work".  He flunked p.c. speech, as you can see.

Grayson thinks he has hit a gold mine.
It is almost a certainty that he will be voted out but now knows he is just 10 dollars away from (fill in the blank).

We're up in arms over the 17th amendment?  I didn't get that memo.  Did anyone else?

ON EDIT - I guess some of the tea party folks have suggested a repeal.  It's not going to happen.  I certainly wouldn't say "The Right Wing is up in arms over the 17th Amendment".
