Here’s the rundown of where the candidates will be: Mayoral candidate Bill Foster will finish his campaign where it all began: at Ferg’s Sports Bar at 1320 Central Avenue (check out Ferg’s great website here). City Council candidate Jim Kennedy will also be at Ferg’s. Not that I have been invited, but Kathleen Ford is hosting her Election Night…

Please read the story that might just win the election for Angela Rouson

If you have yet to vote for who will fill the District 5 seat being vacated by Jamie Bennett, please read the two stories in The St. Petersburg Times today.

Both pieces are exquisitely written and, after reading them, it’s clear that there are two capable candidates running. But the article about Angela Rouson displays a level of humanity and life experience that Steve…

Agenda 2010’s Bizarro World straw poll

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

My favorite rabble-rouser Gypsy Gallardo helped organize a forum of the St. Petersburg City Council candidates, during which a straw poll was held to, supposedly, gauge the favorites of the African-American community.
