Scott Wagman’s new mailpiece downright garish

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

Scott Wagman’s campaign is quickly assembling the worst direct-mail portfolio ever seen by a candidate spending half-a-million dollars. There is something positive to be said about pumping out piece after piece of this crap, but it’s hard to be positive when the design is garish and the message so muddled. Yes, I said garish. All sorts of colors and images and fonts, all swirled together with no apparent concern for the person reading it. It’s looks like a crayon box…

David McKalip’s list of contributions includes $500 to Democrat Janet Long

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

David McKalip, the now disgraced doctor who sent out a racist email depicting President Obama as a tribal witch doctor, has an extensive record of contributions to Florida politicians and political causes. Why does this matter? Because you just know that this was not the first time McKalip’s real beliefs were shared with policy makers. How many meetings must he have had with elected officials during which his ignorance reared its ugly head? According to the Florida Divison of Elections…

Tampa Bay legislators’ fundraising

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Not much to report for the incumbents…no one has done any damage yet in the race to replace Kevin Ambler in H-47…perhaps Peter Nehr will have problems with Tom McKone in H-48, but other than that it’s standard fare for Pinellas legislators. Here are their fundraising numbers to date: H-48 Peter Nehr raised $13,900 with $12,581 left on hand Tom McKone raised $5,071 with $3,533 left on hand H-49: Darren Soto raised $4,600 with $3,850 left on hand H-50: Ed…

Karen Seel, Janet Long stand up for Scott Houghton-Wagman?

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

I just can’t stand Scott Wagman’s campaign. It’s borderline irrational because I agree with Mr. Houghton-Wagman on most of the issues. I just can’t stomach the sense of noblesse oblige that drips from his campaign. You can see it in this picture taken at one of his fundraisers. Imagine Houghton-Wagman’s brain at work. “If I can just get this picture of Karen Seel and Janet Long standing next to me, that’s almost as good as endorsement. Because someone will follow…

Why did Democrat Janet Long go to Jack Latvala’s campaign kick-off?

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Evidently, more than 250 people stopped by Jack Latvala’s campaign kick-off at Ruth Eckerd Hall. Certainly, many of those who attended did so out of fear, rather than enthusiasm for Jack’s campaign. Maybe that explains why Democrat Janet Long was one of those who went to wish Jack well in his effort to put a Democratic seat back in the GOP’s column. Janet has been as effective a state representative can be considering her party’s in the minority and her…

Charlie Justice backs Wags, Dem dominoes to fall?

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Now that Charlie Justice has endorsed Scott Wagman, is the rest of the local Democratic Party ready to jump on “Wagon” (get it???). Ken Welch and Rick Kriseman have already agreed to endorse, but the Wagman campaign is reportedly holding back on announcing their endorsements, planning to roll out those endorsements in the coming weeks to project a sense of momentum. Meanwhile, Representative Janet Long, who has no close ties to Wagman or his campaign. is uninterested in endorsing.

Election Day

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

“Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual–or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country.”That quote is some pretty heady stuff from Mr. Samuel Adams (who I believe fought the British for the right to distribute…
