Bargain Bob's Talents

In an interview with Dara Kam of the News Service of Florida, Tampa mayor Buckhorn was asked whether he’s considering running for governor. here

”I don’t know. I’m looking at it,” he said. Though he loves being Tampa’s mayor, he said he hasn’t stopped thinking his talents could step up to Tallahassee.

Lets look at some of the mayor's talents!

He was no fan of Amendment 2 here

----------
He called the ACLU, the Council on America-Islamic Relations, and the NAACP fringe groups. Though this month he emphasized he wasn’t including the NAACP in those remarks. here
----------
His lack of enthusiasm for Charlie Crist, the party’s 2014 gubernatorial nominee. here
----------
His support of the MCM. here and here
----------
His support of Pam Bondi. here
And  Patrick Murphy here

 He should fit right in Tallahassee's Pay-To-Play Culture!

“11 Corrupt Corporations: Anheuser-Busch is #1

In addition to sponsoring the open-bar cocktail hour at the 2015 ALEC annual conference, beverage giant Anheuser-Busch is also a member of ALEC's Commerce, Insurance, and Economic Development Task Force — responsible for numerous anti-worker and union-busting initiatives. So, why not consider getting your drink somewheres else? (Uh, also: no big loss. Their beer tastes like pee.) here

In Tampa Bay, why bother? Drink local!

  • Those who labelled themselves as moderate or liberal Republicans were not invited to the GOP focus group.
  • Participants in the focus groups were chosen from Carrollwood, Westchase, Town and Country and Brandon which means which means South Tampa, West Tampa, Central Tampa, Temple Terrace, East Tampa, Plant City, South Shore, South County and Sun City were excluded from having their voices heard in the focus groups.

Marco Rubio's Secret-Money Commercials

Every pro-Rubio television commercial so far in the early primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina has been paid for not by his campaign or even by a super PAC that identifies its donors, but instead by a nonprofit called Conservative Solutions Project. The secret-money group is giving him at least an $8 million assist, according to advertising tracker Kantar Media's CMAG. here

The candidate has presented himself as being opposed to such unaccountable money.
