Steve Corsetti, you have my apologies, but I have to endorse you — but first, another rant about Kathleen Ford

Published on October 12, 2009 in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by Peter Schorsch

In case any of you are wondering what political life would be like under a Kathleen Ford administration, this past week offered a glimpse of things to come. The debate over whether to vacate the sidewalk in front of BayWalk has nothing to do with Kathleen Ford. Not in the least. But an already fractious debate became more decisive the moment Ford announced she opposed the plan. Suddenly, lines were drawn and positions hardened. And this was an issue to…

West St. Pete candidate forum may be scrapped as Kathleen Ford, Bill Foster look to limit number of mayoral debates

Published on September 4, 2009 in The Bay and the 'Burg by Peter Schorsch

During the recent primary, there seemed to be a political forum every evening. On many nights, there were multiple forums scheduled with candidates rushing from one neighborhood association to the next. Rarely was something said at one forum that wasn’t heard at a previous meeting. It was deja vu over and over again. Well, it appears Kathleen Ford and Bill Foster are putting a stop to the insanity. Apparently, the two candidates have agreed to limit the number of debates…

Published on July 14, 2009 in The Bay and the 'Burg by Peter Schorsch

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…

The Worst Election Ever

Published on June 17, 2009 in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by Peter Schorsch

Who would believe the fate of St. Petersburg could be changed by a car accident that occurred well beyond its city limits? On a brisk October evening, the Lord decided to call home Patrick Brett, the 20-year-old son of Terry and Kim. The high school student body president, homecoming king, and president of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, died well before his time in a car accident on his way home from a college football game. Because it was near…

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

Published on June 8, 2009 in The Bay and the 'Burg by Peter Schorsch

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…
