Talk:2024 United States Senate election in Florida

Too soon?
Arizona, California, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia all have their pages open but it's "Too soon" for Florida despite the incumbent declaring for Reelection just like in Nebraska, Ohio, and West Virginia! It's bull! Dickeyaustin786 (talk) 12:49, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Description of Alan Grayson
I think it is appropriate to call Grayson a perennial candidate. He has now had 5 failed campaigns in a row (FL-Sen 2016, FL-9 2018, FL-6 2020, FL-Sen 2022, FL-10 2022). He has not won an election (or even come close) since 2014. Every 2 years since then, he has launched at least one failed campaign. The definition of a perennial candidate is "a political candidate who frequently runs for elected office and rarely, if ever, wins." The fact that he was elected to office at one point doesn't negate the fact that he is currently a perennial candidate. For example, Robin Ficker is currently described as "Robin Ficker, former state delegate (1979–1983) and perennial candidate." At this point, it's a choice between two descriptions: I know which description is more concise and more accurate. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 04:50, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Disagree. Because of the pejorative connotation associated with the term "perennial" or "frequent" candidate, we should only call someone this if reliable sources do, not based on our own interpretation (WP:OR). Curbon7 (talk) 07:02, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * At its core, this is both a WP:BLP and WP:OR issue. Curbon7 (talk) 19:44, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
