Steve Schale is one Florida Democrat who wants Joe Biden to enter presidential campaign

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Reports continued to surface over the weekend that Joe Biden is calling old friends and potential allies about the possibility that he could enter into the Democratic presidential race. In some quarters of the Democratic Party, there are increasing concerns about the viability of front-runner Hillary Clinton‘s candidacy, as reports of the current “emailgate” scandal continue to emerge. Although she maintains a strong lead nationally and in most states against Bernie Sanders, the Vermont senator’s rising poll numbers in New Hampshire…

2016 hopefuls hit the gym, try to skip pie on campaign trail

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Scott Walker is counting steps on his FitBit. Jeb Bush swears by the Paleo diet. Bobby Jindal is a “gym rat.” With long travel days and a fresh slab of cherry pie never far away, the campaign trail is notoriously unhealthy. But many 2016 presidential candidates are striving to make smart lifestyle choices as they tour the small town diners and pizza places of the early voting states. “I try to do at least 10,000 steps a day,” said Walker,…

in 2017/Top Headlines by

For the first time in the 2015-2016 Democratic presidential primary campaign, independent Vermont socialist U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders leads Hillary Clinton in a public opinion poll, 44-37 percent. The survey was conducted by Franklin Pierce/and the Boston Herald. Vice President Joe Biden got 9 percent support in the test primary match-up.

Martin Dyckman: Winner-take-all winner could be Donald Trump

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Our next president may well owe the office to arrogant billionaires or be one himself. Meanwhile, The New York Times reports that fewer than 400 families account for nearly half the $388 million already invested in that election still more than a year away. Did America shed blood to be rid of monarchy only to have it come to this? And yet the vast moral and political corruption unleashed by the U.S. Supreme Court’s confusion of free spending with free…

Mitch Perry Report for 8.7.15 — The morning after

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Last night was the most fun I can remember watching a political debate since Chris Matthews moderated the Charlie Crist-Jim Davis-Max Linn Florida gubernatorial debate in 2006. Anyone remember that? Let’s face it, if the same tough questions were asked by moderators at MSNBC, CNN, Univision or any of the major broadcast networks, the story of the morning (besides whatever Donald Trump did) from Republicans would be how unfair the liberal media was. As it stands, some conservatives on my Twitter…

Mitch Perry Report for 8.5.15 — Hillary Clinton is struggling, but is Joe Biden really the answer?

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Maybe the presidential race will be what some fantasize/dread has always been the inevitable challenge — a Jeb Bush v. Hillary Clinton throwback contest of dueling 60-somethings. But it doesn’t look like it in early August of 2015. Forget about Jeb’s misstatements, which are starting to pile up. Let’s look deeper at some of Hillary’s numbers. A Wall Street Journal poll shows Clinton losing support with her supposed base — white women, whose numbers are supposed to make up for the reduction of…

in 2017/Top Headlines by

In his first speech in Florida since becoming a candidate for the Democratic nomination for president, Vermont independent socialist U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders delivered a searing indictment of the American capitalist system, but also spoke in strong terms about reforming the criminal justice system, in the wake of a series of incidents where black people have died while being detained or in custody. Sanders was the fourth of the five presidential candidates who spoke on Friday morning at the National Urban League’s annual…
