Florida’s Democrats need a new theme

in Statewide by

Something that sticks in my craw every single time I visit their website is the theme used by the Florida Democratic Party: Putting Floridians First Because Security Begins at Home What an Orwellian jumble of idea-by-committee sloganeering. Thematic horseshit like “…Because Security Begins at Home” must have been a by-product of knee-jerk, post-9/11 thinking entirely irrelevant in the current political and economic environment. Sure, a website tagline may seem like small potatoes, but maybe it’s not. Maybe it says something…

The latest from the Will-Meek-Make-It-Meter: it’s less and less likely Meek will accomplish petition goal

in Peter/Statewide by

At this point, it does not appear likely Congressman Kendrick Meek will collect the requisite number of voters’ signatures to place his name on the ballot. According to the Florida Division of Elections, Meek has collected 37,420 verified signatures through March 1. That means he has to collect another 75,056 signatures before March 29 – a daunting 2,680 good signatures a day. Based on my research and projections (explained here), Meek actually has 50,761 petitions in the system, putting him…

And in a Valentine’s Day card spoof aimed at Bill McCollum that thanks him for opposing the release of the party’s…

Images from Election 2009

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Those running for elected office in St. Petersburg were subjected to attending a gauntlet of sparsely-attended candidate forums, such as this one in Midtown. Not counting the candidates and their entourages, fewer than two dozen residents bothered to attend the meeting — about the same number of people who attended most of these events.
