in 2017/Top Headlines by

Marco Rubio says he will spend this weekend consulting with his family about running for again his U.S. Senate seat – and the Democratic Party appears more than ready to attack him if he does.

The ad revisits a major complaint…

in Apolitical/Top Headlines by

Anderson Cooper faced the camera, his voice freighted with emotion, and took a stand on covering the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. “We will not say the gunman’s name or show his photograph,” Cooper told CNN viewers on a telecast Monday. “It’s been shown far too much already.” The withholding of such information is an unusual but not unprecedented move by a reporter or news organization, one that some media experts say can be justified. Cooper said on-air that his…

in Statewide/Top Headlines by

Congressman Jeff Miller has set off a series of dominoes with his announcement yesterday that he will not seek a ninth term in Congress. Congressional openings are rare. Over the past 45 years, Northwest Florida has only had four U.S. Representatives — Bob Sikes, Earl Hutto, Joe Scarborough and Miller. The last two, Scarborough and Miller, were relatively unknown when they announced their candidacies. Scarborough trailed in the 1994 GOP primary but beat Lois Benson in the runoff. Miller staved…

Rick Scott sought to clarify his earlier refusal to condemn Donald Trump‘s comment that “Islam hates us” yesterday afternoon. “There are people that love this country. There’s people that don’t love this country. What we do know, and it’s no surprise, is that radical Muslims don’t like our country,” Scott told reporters before last night’s GOP debate in Miami. It wasn’t much of a cleanup over his earlier performance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. That’s when his refusal to condemn Trump’s comment…

Jeb Bush is looking to capitalize on a flub by a Marco Rubio supporter. In an interview on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Friday, the former Republican governor said Rubio has accomplished little during his time in the Senate.

One day after endorsing Marco Rubio, former GOP hopeful Rick Santorum hit the media circuit to explain why he backed the Florida senator. There was just one problem. When pressed by the hosts of MSNBC’s Morning Joe to list one of Rubio’s accomplishments in the Senate, the Pennsylvania Republican appeared stumped. “You know, here’s what I would say about that.  My feeling on Marco is someone who has tremendous potential, tremendous gifts,” said Santorum during the interview with MSNBC Morning…
