A rundown of the real winners and losers from Florida’s general election

in Peter/Top Headlines by

Yesterday’s slate of general elections in Florida certainly provided a list of winners and losers, and I’m not just talking about the candidates. Here is my list of the real winners and losers coming out of Tuesday. Winners Rick Scott — The Naples Republican was an early backer of the president-elect, comparing Trump’s rise to his own 2010 gubernatorial run and even penning an op-ed way back in January that Trump captured “the frustration of many Americans.” No doubt he’s taking notes for his own rumored 2018…

in Peter by

Here’s how I know our reporters and I are covering the race for Florida’s 13th Congressional District as it should be covered. On Wednesday, Charlie Crist‘s wife, former first lady Carole Crist, expressed her displeasure with a story from September about a poll that showed Republican David Jolly leading Crist by three points. Even though I explained that I have nothing to do with the conducting of the poll other than paying for it, it was clear Mrs. Crist was not entirely…

5 things I think about today’s St. Petersburg Times (6/15)

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

It’s not the St. Petersburg Times that is drawing my attention today, but it’s sister publication, the TBT, which ran this cover for today’s edition: Unless my eyes are mistaking me, that ain’t Carole Crist in the picture.  Actually, Carole Crist’s ass looks better than this woman’s, so Charlie put your eyes back in your sockets. Howard Troxler addresses just this kind of posturing by politicians.  Not the kind of posturing that has a pol staring at some chick’s t-back,…

Who is running Charlie Crist’s campaign, now that Eric Eikenberg has left

in Statewide by

Now that Charlie Crist has dropped out of the Republican primary to run with No Party Affiliation, the question of who is really in charge of Crist’s campaign continues to intrigue reporters, bloggers and political observers. On paper, Eric Eikenberg was the official campaign manager of Crist’s effort.  But saying Eikenberg was running the Crist campaign is just as ridiculous as saying Tony Sparano is in charge of the Miami Dophins when everyone knows that Bill Parcells is calling the…
