Today on Context Florida: Hillary’s inevitability, Uniform Crime Reports, litigation and conservation land

in Apolitical/Top Headlines by

Today on Context Florida: Emily’s List emailed Martin Dyckman to ask whether he wants to help elect a “pro-choice Democratic woman president.” Yes, he replied, if it’s Elizabeth Warren. They never emailed back. Dyckman believes that if Hillary Clinton’s aura of inevitability isn’t punctured fairly soon, the Democrats can look forward to one of those Titanic moments – when everyone realizes the ship is sinking and nothing can save it. Uniform Crime Reports are what every law enforcement agency turns in…

Mitch Perry Report for 3.18.15 — No DWS, no problem. Right, Dems?

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Debbie Wasserman Schultz will not be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate next year, but hopefully that doesn’t “pave the way” for fellow South Florida Democratic U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy to become the groomed nominee in 2016. As a Tampa Bay-based political reporter, I have to admit knowing very little about Congressman Murphy — his philosophy, his temperament. Hell, even his voting record. Yes, there’s plenty of time to find out, but the Democratic Party really has to…

American Bridge: Jeb Bush ‘hypocrite’ over Hillary Clinton email criticism

in Top Headlines by

When it comes to personal emails for public business, Jeb Bush is nothing short of a hypocrite, says the left-leaning American Bridge 21st Century. As the controversy lingers over Hillary Clinton’s emails, a new American Bridge video reminds the public of correspondence problems of Bush, another high-profile potential presidential candidate. Recently, Bush attacked Clinton for using private emails during her time as secretary of state, a subject he called “a little baffling, to be honest with you.” American Bridge doubts…

Charlie Cook on Jeb’s national favorability problem

in Top Headlines by

Ah, brothers. Such an embarrassment sometimes. Jimmy Carter had Billy the beer-swilling redneck, Bill Clinton had Roger the cocaine distributor and Lyndon Johnson had Sam Houston, the other beer-swilling redneck. The conventional wisdom is that Jeb Bush will have something of an albatross around his neck owing to his brother’s relatively unpopular tenure in the White House — so then why is he polling less favorably than George W. Bush among Republican primary voters?, asks Charlie Cook in National Journal: While 86 percent of those who identified themselves as Democratic primary voters said…

Fresh Gallup poll — Hillary Clinton: Best known, and still best liked

in Top Headlines by

According to a new poll (taken just as the controversy about her private email account was breaking), Hillary Clinton remains one of the few 2016 presidential candidates to have a significantly higher favorable (50 percent) than unfavorable (39 percent) rating among the American public. And 89 percent have enough knowledge of her to form an opinion, by far the most of any person who is contemplating a run for the White House next year. However, it should be noted that…

But that might be changing soon. Today on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley discussed his vision of the future, as well as his attributes that would make him an attractive candidate if he decides to run in 2016. “Most years there’s the inevitable front…

Mitch Perry Report for 3.12.15 — Charlie Crist for Senate?

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

The other day Mason-Dixon did a poll on the 2016 Florida race, and it’s content was somewhat pedestrian. Pedestrian in the respect that it only put four names into the ring: Marco Rubio and Jeff Atwater for the Republicans; Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Patrick Murphy for the Democrats. With over a year and a half until the actual contest, couldn’t Mason-Dixon throw a few more names in the mix, since as of today, none of these people have actually committed to running for…
