Could Charlie Crist’s old team end up vetting Rubio for Romney? Jim Geraghty notes: …if Rubio accepts (VP) consideration from Romney — he repeatedly denies interest in being vice president — the Florida senator will be required to turn over enormous amounts of personal information to a campaign full of former employees of Rubio’s 2010 rival, former [...]
Senator Jack Latvala made an interesting point during last week’s Tiger Bay forum while discussing the situation surrounding Ken Burke not being reappointed to the Board of Trustees at St. Petersburg College. Latvala made the point that Pinellas has the second most registered Republicans of any county in the state and that Governor Rick Scott [...]
After I posted Friday about his list of potential candidates for the race for Mayor in 2013, I asked Bob Wilson of the Bill Foster watch to weigh in on who he support. Here is his response. This got all kinds of gears turning in our heads, and we asked around to see what other people [...]
Today, Michelle framed some wonderful pictures from our wedding of she and I with Carole and Charlie Crist. I thought I would share a few. This one of Charlie and Michelle is just perfect. Of course, no one (save Rick Baker) loves the ‘burg as much as these two guys.
Senate Democratic Leader Nan Rich said Wednesday she is throwing her hat into the ring and running for Governor in 2014. In an interview with the News Service of Florida, Rich said Gov.

Florida has long had one of the harshest felony voting bans in the country, but Governor [...]
Honestly, it seems like we hardly knew the affable Danny Kanner, spokesman for Charlie Crist’s quixotic run for the US Senate in 2010. But he sure did leave quite an impression on those of us fortunate enough to get to know him. In fact, he showed a lot of us what it meant to be [...]
‘Will he or won’t he?’ The whispers continue, like talk of seasons to come. Will Charlie Crist run for Governor in 2014? As a Democrat? A year ago, I swore Charlie would run. Then, recently, I began thinking otherwise. Yet, if Crist does not intend to run, why would he travel to North Florida to [...]
