For many in the Eighteenth District, or indeed across the whole of Miami, tonight was a sleepless night.
The debate had just ended, and whether it was Republican candidates or Democratic candidates, basically any candidate who could afford a professional campaign team had their staff receive performance data on tonight's Democratic primary candidates immediately.
All the local television stations in Miami broadcast news related to the primary, and the name most mentioned by TV hosts was the Democratic plumber, Jeff Rush.
Throughout the entire primary, in the three nine-minute free debate periods, Jeff Rush, who was performing at his best tonight, took 420 seconds, 540 seconds, and again 420 seconds, firmly holding onto the title of the night's most vocal candidate.
