in Peter/Statewide by

Until yesterday, I believed Pam Bondi was the GOP’s best choice for Attorney General.  But her performance at the Tiger Bay has me — and anyone else who was in the room — questioning her capacity to even do the job.  Just watch her answer to the first question of the debate: Question: I would like to know did you vote for or against Amendment 1 in January of 2008?

The St. Petersburg Times is running a pretty tough article about Pam Bondi in Saturday’s edition. This is not the Bondi who put away murderers, or the woman who made headlines with her personal legal fight over a Hurricane Katrina rescue dog.
