in Top Headlines by

Call her the anti-Hillary. Carly Fiorina is the only woman considered a possible candidate for the Republican nomination for president in the current field. She presented a refined performance Saturday before hundreds of New Hampshire Republicans in the First in the Nation Republican Leadership Summit in Nashua. “Hilary Clinton must not become president of the United States,” Fiorina said in her speech, hardly a novel concept among speakers at this forum. “I was asked this morning on Fox News about…

Things to look for in Marco Rubio’s announcement speech

in Top Headlines by

When Marco Rubio gives his speech announcing his candidacy for the Republican nomination for president later this afternoon in downtown Miami, there are certain themes that he will undoubtedly hit upon (albeit in only 12 minutes, which is what we’ve been informed will be its duration). Fresh off President Obama’s meeting up with Raul Castro over the weekend at the Summit of the Americas in Panama, you can rest assured that the administration’s diplomatic breakthrough with the communist island will…

Tug of war: Obama, Congress at odds over who’s in control

in Top Headlines by

Since Republicans took control of Congress two months ago, an elaborate tug of war has broken out between GOP lawmakers and President Barack Obama over who calls the shots on major issues for the next two years. On some fronts, Obama has held his ground, watching near-gleefully as Republicans bungled early attempts to legislate and put their own internal disputes on vivid display.

Mitch Perry Report for 3.3.15 — Democracy now in Tampa

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

The most lackluster campaign that this reporter has covered in his 15 years living in Tampa comes to a conclusion tonight — at least for most of the candidates vying to win the five Tampa City Council seats up for election. There is really not much drama at stake. Though there has been a lot of coverage of the District 6 campaign between Republican Jackie Toledo, Democrat Guido Maniscalco and independent Tommy Castellano, it’s been about relatively trivial matters involving…

in Uncategorized by

Thirty-eight Democratic House members and five senators intend on boycotting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s controversial speech to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday, but Kathy Castor won’t be one of them. A list of those Democratic representatives who won’t be attending the speech include some of their most progressive members, a list that at times the Hillsborough County-based congresswoman would be right at home with.
