So I nailed the Bill Maxwell retirement story…
…so when I tell you that the editorial board is actually thinking about endorsing Bill Foster instead of Deveron Gibbons or Scott Wagman, I might be telling the truth.

Latest from mayoral candidates’ websites
At the beginning of the race to be St. Petersburg’s next Mayor, there was a lot of smoke about how the candidates were utilizing the web to advance their message. Well, turns out there’s a lot of smoke, but not a lot of fire. Many of the candidates — Jamie Bennett, Deveron Gibbons, Bill Foster — haven’t updated their sites in weeks. Only one candidate, Scott Wagman, is really utilizing the power of online messaging to bolster his campaign. I…

The race to be St. Petersburg’s next Mayor
Gentlemen, start your engines…or do whatever sports metaphor you want to do because today is the first day after Memorial Day and the race to be St. Petersburg’s next Mayor is now for real. Take a look at Scott Wagman’s website and you’ll notice he’s installed a timer counting down until voting begins. For once, Scott is right (well he may right on that Harmon thing, too), the election is upon us. So I’ve updated my graphic Mayoral Madness to…

Victory — For Now
I guess POWW’s decision to hire me wasn’t so bad after all…from the SHROCK: There will not be a ballpark on the downtown waterfront. The Tampa Bay Rays say they have altogether abandoned thoughts of an open-air stadium at the site of Al Lang Field. “It’s pretty clear people did not want a ballpark down there,” Rays senior vice president Michael Kalt said Friday. “From what we’re seeing, we’re probably in that camp, too. “For us, Al Lang’s not an…

Of course I think Jamie Bennett should quit
I’ve been asked about 200 times what I think Jamie Bennett should do next. My answer is unquivocal: he should announce that he will stop running for Mayor of St. Petersburg.

Him saying he had no knowledge of this or that is an insult to the voters of St. Petersburg.…

Mr. Nice Guy is not that
Mayoral hopeful Jamie Bennett intentionally tried to influence neighborhood presidents and community leaders with free baseball tickets to the city’s suite at Tropicana Field, said a campaign organizer fired Friday over the controversy. But campaign manager Peter Schorsch’s allegations don’t stop there. Schorsch said he and Bennett plotted and schemed to discredit other candidates and misled the public about their dirty campaign tactics, even going as far as to entice homeless people to crash rival Kathleen Ford’s news conference. “Mr.…

I like Bill Foster. I really do!
So, like, I totally disagree with Bill Foster’s politics. In fact, if Bill is for something, I’m probably against it. And vice-versa. What’s worse is, Bill’s consultant, Jack Hebert, is my mortal enemy. So I haven’t missed a chance to bust Bill’s balls at every opportunity. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like Bill Foster. In fact, I really like Bill Foster. The guy is hilarious. I’ve run into him several times on the campaign trail and he’s been a…
