Despite vow to remain positive, Bill Foster launches negative, err, comparative TV spot, mail-piece against Kathleen Ford

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Bill Foster must be behind in the polls. A front-runner does not launch this kind of barrage of negative, err, comparative advertising. So with Foster behind in the polls, that means it’s Hebert-time as in Jack Hebert, Bill Foster’s hired gun who is at his best — and worst — this close to an election. First, there was this television spot. Not terribly inventive. In fact, I am surprised the uber-creative Hebert didn’t lighten these ads with a little humor:…

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Responding to a question about why Kathleen Ford brought toy dinosaurs to a recent mayoral forum, Bill Foster said he was insulted by Ford’s actions. But the real gem of this video is Ford’s assertion that she is a scientist (which, she explained later, is based on the fact that she has a Bachelor of Science degree). That’s right, Kathleen Ford, former city council member, lawyer, nurse and now says she is a scientist!

Bill Foster’s blunders in the black community continue as campaign hires former Cappelli, Gibbons aide Nick Hansen to run black GOTV

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

It is probably the shortest post ever written on the St. Petersburg Times’ Bay Buzz: “Bill Foster opens a campaign office in Midtown”. It’s located in the shopping center at 2261 34th Street S. This news comes on the heels of several miscues by Bill Foster’s campaign in its outreach to the African-American community, such as the recent incident in which Foster “hurt some people’s feeling when he turned down an offer last week to take a photo with Davis,…

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

At Wednesday’s meeting of the St. Petersburg Democratic Club, there is an agenda item to remove Rene Flowers as Vice President of the St. Petersburg Democratic Club because of her endorsement of Republican Bill Foster for Mayor of St. Petersburg.
