in 2017/Top Headlines by

Under the newly drawn Congressional District 7 seat awaiting Florida Supreme Court approval, venerable north-central area GOP U.S. Rep. John Mica appears vulnerable for the first time in his 22-year-long congressional career. And the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is excited about that possibility. In a memo released on Tuesday by Jermaine House, south regional press secretary for the DCCC, it’s made clear that the Florida 7th is now a battleground district. House writes that the redrawn district becomes 2-3 points more Democratic, and President Obama carried the new district…

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Good morning once again from the Motel 6 ($50 a night) in Tallahassee, where this reporter spent his Wednesday hearing from Florida state leaders and U.S. Senate candidates (and had our slumber disturbed by a man shouting obscenities to someone on his cellphone in the motel’s parking lot at midnight!). What we learned: Rick Scott wants a sh*tload more tax cuts — like possibly more than the $673 million he proposed last year that was whittled down to $400 million…
