Equality Florida says St. Pete’s next Mayor will be either Bill Foster or Scott Wagman

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

Sorry Kathleen Ford, you may be leading in the polls, with most political insiders predicting Ford is all but guaranteed a place in the General Election, but Equality Florida’s Nadine Smith says St. Pete’s next Mayor will be either Bill Foster or Scott Wagman. In a post on the Equality Florida blog, the normally intelligent Smith seems to forget about the front-running Ford, painting the mayoral campaign in rather stark terms: “The city’s next mayor will either be Scott Wagman…

10 things I think I think about the televised ‘Conversation with the Candidates’

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

1. The St. Petersburg Times should be embarrassed by the turnout at last night’s forum. There wasn’t more than 150 people in the audience, none of whom haven’t already made up their mind. The entire balcony was empty! That’s how bad the Times’ “picayune” coverage has been…that no one, and I mean no one, cares enough to show up for the only televised debate of the campaign. Where was the Police Chief or members of his command? Where were the…

Where is the plaque for alternates? In other words, Scott Wagman’s TV spot is a loser

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

Scott Wagman’s campaign debuted its first television commercial. I haven’t seen something so bad since I walked out of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Like the Transformers movies, this commercial had an almost unlimited budget, yet the dollars don’t end up on the screen. That’s because, despite his significant financial advantage, Scott Wagman doesn’t have anything new to say. To quote Oscar Wilde, “if it’s not on the page,” it won’t end up on the screen. Somehow and for some…

Wayne Garcia says I am a ‘one-man election wrecking crew’ — I can’t say he’s wrong

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

From Wayne Garcia, Political Whore, who has wasted almost as much time writing about the All-American City Awards as he has the St. Petersburg mayoral race and who has shown a definitive bias for Scott Wagman’s campaign, lists me as one of five reasons why the election is not connecting with voters: Former PoHo contributing blogger Schorsch should have been nowhere near the city of St. Petersburg election.

Dear Bill Foster

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

Too bad I am not working for you, because if I were, you wouldn’t be losing your grip on second place. Let’s face it. Deveron Gibbons is moving on to the general election. The brothers, as Mark Winn likes to think of them, account for about 18 percent of the vote. So long as the walk-around-money flows, Gibbons is gonna take 80% of that vote. With that block, all Deveron needs is 1 in 10 non-black voters to break his…
