John Warren’s direct mail-piece

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

There are other candidates running for Mayor of St. Petersburg beside Deveron Gibbons and Scott Wagman. Unfotunately, their campaign budgets allow them to block out the light from other campaigns. Take a look at this mailpiece from John Warren’s campaign. There is a lot to like here. I like one of the pictures. It’s not perfectly set-up, because there is more sky than there is John Warren, but it says to me, this man has a vision, yet knows how…

Do you have a pillow close by? Deveron Gibbons’ latest mailer will put you to sleep

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Deveron Gibbons has a new mailer designed to put voters to sleep. On the front, the mail-piece has a couple of pictures that basically say “I am down with white voters. You are allowed to vote for me.” Gibbons even gives you his cell phone number in case you need a free money order. The flip side of this mail-piece is actually more clever than it looks. Yes, it is absolutely boring to look at. But if you read the…

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

It is with tremendous enthusiasm and the support of my family and friends that today I announce my candidacy for Creative Loafing’s Best of the Bay award “Best Local Troublemaker.” In so many ways, this is a no-brainer: since I returned from New York last year, no one has created more havoc in the local political scene. I told Mayor Rick Baker to shave his mustache. I’ve torpedoed more people than Sean Connery. I even called the St. Petersburg Times…

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. After all, his arrest a few years back on charges of ripping…

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…
