Crazy ol’ Ed Helm is up to his tricks again, this time recruiting a challenger against Democratic incumbent Darryl Rouson.  A copy of an e-mail Helm wrote attempting to coordinate the launch of April Sheffield’s campaign was forwarded to me: Chair of Sarasota Dem. Party Ferrandino: Mario and I met with April Sheffield yesterday at my place in St. Pete and heard the good news that she has gotten all her ducks in a row and is now ready to run (and…
