Scott Wagman takes the bait, will fight FEC over his illegal Google ads

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Just finished up an interview with Zach Rodgers, of Clickz Network, who tells me Scott Wagman has decided to contest the complaint filed with Florida Election Commission over his illegal ads on Google and Facebook. From March on Politics: In response to a complaint from the former campaign manager for one of Wagman’s opponents in the race, the Elections Commission is considering whether the ads were illegal because they don’t contain the required disclaimer stating they were approved by the…

Scott Wagman’s new mailpiece downright garish

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

Scott Wagman’s campaign is quickly assembling the worst direct-mail portfolio ever seen by a candidate spending half-a-million dollars. There is something positive to be said about pumping out piece after piece of this crap, but it’s hard to be positive when the design is garish and the message so muddled. Yes, I said garish. All sorts of colors and images and fonts, all swirled together with no apparent concern for the person reading it. It’s looks like a crayon box…

Are Scott Wagman’s ads on Google a violation of Florida’s election laws?

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

I’ve been wrong before about Scott Wagman violating Florida’s election laws, so I was much more thorough this time around concerning a possible violation by Mr. Houghton-Wagman. And while the case has yet to be investigated and ruled on, it appears as if Wagman could be in a heap of trouble with the Florida Elections Commission. The alleged violation: Upon conducting a search for the term “Jamie Bennett” on Google’s search engine, I was returned to a screen with an…

The SPblog blasts Scott Wagman again

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Anyone who thinks this blog is tough on Scott Wagman isn’t reading St. Petersblog, affectionately known around these parts as that other blog. The SPblog had laid dormant for most of this year only to return with a vengeance late last month (were you guys serving 180 days in the can?) And, wow, do they hate Scott Wagman: “In the spirit of openness and transparency, St.Petersblog thinks Scott Wagman is a douche.” This was their second post within a week…

ClickZ writes about Scott Wagman’s Google ads

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

From Clickz, a national website covering digital advertising: Florida candidate for state representative Christopher Mitchell began running search ads on Google on Friday, but by Monday afternoon, he had pulled them down. The first-time candidate for Florida’s 47th district didn’t want to risk flouting the state’s election law. Mitchell’s ad takedown may have been the first domino to fall after the Florida Election Commission asked St. Petersburg mayoral candidate Scott Wagman to remove his campaign’s text ads on Facebook and…

Tim Nickens is being such a pussy!

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

It must be very difficult to be the Editor of Editorials at the St. Petersburg Times. I mean, you are in charge of the section of the newspaper viewed by the least amount of readers, yet pandered to by almost every politician. And you have to deal with Robyn Blumner on a daily basis. At least Bill Maxwell isn’t around anymore to bother you about the plight of migrant workers. So why is Tim Nickens being such a pussy about…
