Fla GOP's breath-taking hubris and entitlement hardly limited to Jim Greer
The whole sorry story of the Florida Republican Party under Jim Greer is exhibit A on how near-absolute power, combined with astronomical campaign accounts, can and did breed breathtaking arrogance and entitlement, if not outright corruption, among party leaders professing conservatism.

Local Views: The Cuban Advantage
Let me get this straight. Marco Rubio, current darling of the Republican Party, is going to be an authority on immigration? Isn't it a little ironic? As a son of Cuban immigrants, Cubans only need get to our shores and are granted full "amnesty." No evidence of moral character (whatever that means); no English as first language.We should start by addressing this arcane and unfair favoritism.

Stay at the Trop where you belong. Ken Hagan will be out of a job soon and won't be able to help you. We are not Miami-Dade or Arlington, Texas. If you get it on the ballot it will be defeated.

The goal, is for Hillsborough County to “stop embarrassing us, and embarrassing itself.
“To stop a bully is really easy. But silence to a bully is encouragement. And right now there are too many people who feel the way we do, who are very silently shaking their head at the County Commission.
“To stop a bully is really easy. But silence to a bully is encouragement. And right now there are too many people who feel the way we do, who are very silently shaking their head at the County Commission.
And we need them to be vocal and visible.”
Those were the words of Nadine Smith, executive director of Equality Florida, speaking at a town hall meeting in Ybor on Tuesday night. The meeting was a response to the controversial 4-3 vote last month by the Hillsborough County Commission, rejecting creation of a domestic partner registry.

The Fix and the Best of Florida
Cillizza and the team from The Fix are back again, and they want nominations for best state political blogs:
Now, I certainly wouldn't complain if some generous reader out there wanted to nominate The Spencerian. It would be a genuine honor, and I would be grateful. However, there are a lot of great blogs in this state, and I think they and their writers (and readers, for that matter) deserve a shot. So I am asking you think about other Florida blogs first. Go ahead.You can do it.
