in Peter/Statewide by

Dear Charlie, Let’s try this again. It’s been a long time since I helped out on one of your campaigns. In fact, I think the last time we worked together you were running for…the US Senate (do you remember the time when, on our way back from campaigning with Ollie North in Panama City, my car tire blew out and I got stranded in Chiefland?). A lot has changed since 1998. You began this race as the front-runner with all…

But Marco Rubio’s operatives in Pinellas, such as the gregarious Tony DiMatteo, have lured Crist into an obvious trap by scheduling the straw ballot. Crist’s young staff, no longer managed by George LeMieux, is convinced that Crist can win the Pinellas straw ballot. But what happens when Crist loses?

in Statewide by

There is a highly entertaining page on Facebook called I HATE DOUCHEBAGS, which I urge you to visit often. I was scrolling through I HATE DOUCHEBAGS making sure no one put any pictures of me on there, especially from a few years ago when I was known for wearing pink polo shirts with the collar popped.
