Diane Roberts: Florida’s presidential hopefuls a bumper crop of crazy

in Top Headlines by

No fewer than four of the 2016 Republican candidates for president claim domicile in Florida. Five, if you count Donald Trump – and the head pelt-sporting Birther would hate not to be counted. Even if he’s not really running, just promoting his new book. First there’s Jeb Bush, Miami resident, former governor, brother of the more famous (and far stupider) George W., fundraising juggernaut, part-time “Hispanic,” the “moderate” supposedly beloved of the Republican establishment. Over the weekend, Jeb gave the…

Only 5 percent of likely Republican voters tell pollsters for the New Hampshire Survey Center that they have definitely decided on their candidate of choice. Seventeen percent are leaning toward a candidate, and 78…

Mitch Perry Report for 5.7.15 — On economic issues, is Mike Huckabee more in synch with GOP voters?

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

As has been mentioned by reporters like myself for months now, Republicans thinking about being president have picked up on the whole income inequality mantle that Democrats like Elizabeth Warren have championed for years now. By that, I mean they use the words “economic inequality.” Beyond that, it’s not exactly clear what they are offering in the way of substantive programs to overcome that.

Latest GOP campaigns for White House star Hillary Clinton

in Top Headlines by

Hillary Rodham Clinton starred in two presidential campaign launches this week. Neither was her own. The leading Democrat was featured prominently by two Republican contenders, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former technology executive Carly Fiorina, whose road to relevancy in 2016 may be inextricably tied to the former first lady. As other Republicans begin to jab each other, both Fiorina’s and Huckabee’s nascent campaigns are based on the notion that they are uniquely positioned to defeat Clinton. Both may…

The Iowa caucuses are likely to be dominated by social conservatives, so nobody is expecting Jeb Bush to excel in the first presidential contest in 2016. But seventh place? That’s where he is currently in a new Quinnipiac survey released this morning. Once again, neighboring governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin leads in Iowa — in this poll he garners 25 percent support.
