Halloween is brought you by these Florida lobbyists and political associations

in Statewide/Top Headlines by

The witching hour is upon us. Ghosts and ghouls fill the streets. Zombies walk side-by-side with princesses and superheroes. Their mission the same: Spook and scare their neighbors in hopes of scoring enough candy to sustain them for the next year. Total spending for Halloween is expected to reach $8.2 billion in 2016, according to the National Retail Federation. The annual survey expects consumers will spend an average of $82.93, up from $74.34 in 2015. The National Retail Federation predicts…

Steve Schale: Notes on the fourth day of early voting in Florida

in Statewide/Top Headlines by

To: Fans of Florida From: Steve Schale, Exhausted and Disgusted Jaguars Fan Re: 11 Days Out *0 days until Gus Bradley is fired, God willing. *11 days until the election *15 days until FSU basketball tips off.

To: Fellow Data Nerds From: Steve Schale, #FloridaMan Re: Day Three of Early Voting *12 days until the election *16 days until FSU basketball tips off. Before we dive into the data, can I have a side conversation with the reporters reading this?

Florida GOP Chair Blaise Ingoglia says ‘shadow’ Donald Trump vote in Florida is real

in 2017/Top Headlines by

There are now 82 Hillary For America/Florida Democratic Party field offices in the state, dozens more than the Trump campaign. Clinton and her allies have spent more than $50 million on television advertising, while Trump has spent around $30 million. But Blaise Ingoglia, the always-fiery Republican Party of Florida chair, disputes the notion that the…

Is Oscar Braynon running the best Senate political operation in years?

in Peter by

Democratic uber consultant (and frequent Uber customer) Steve Schale contends in a must-read, table-setting blog post about which Florida Senate races are worth watching that “Oscar Braynon is running the best Senate political operation I’ve seen in years.” Really? Technically, Schale is absolutely right. Braynon is running the best political shop in years because, when compared to previous Democratic efforts, O.B. looks like a black James Carville. Beyond Schale, there are other super-smart people in Tallahassee who think very highly of the Florida Democrats’ Senate political…
