Patrick Is Fucked
After sticking us with this crap when we could of had real Dems Grayson or Keith, Washington Democrats are now abandoning Patrick Murphy in his race to unseat Marco Rubio, increasing the long odds the challenger faces and angering Florida Democrats who say their party is indirectly helping the Republican politically rehabilitate as he eyes a future White House bid. here
Joe Romano Looking For Pam Bondi
Apparently, this is what happens when you endorse your own demise.
These cannot be good times for Florida's attorney general, which might explain her reclusive approach to public service and her penchant to disappear at the first sign of trouble. here

Rick Scott: Poppycock
A federal judge ordered a one-day extension in Florida's voter registration deadline and seemed ready to consider a longer delay against the backdrops of the recovery from Hurricane Matthew. U.S. District Judge Mark Walker said the state should continue accepting voter registration papers through 5 p.m. Wednesday. He also set up a Wednesday morning hearing to consider a request by the Florida Democratic Party to keep registration open until Oct. 18 – a week after the initial deadline was set to pass. here
Floridians Stop Being So Fucking Stupid!

More than three-quarters of the $21 million raised by Consumers for Smart Solar (Amendment 1) has come from the state's four largest utilities —- FPL, Duke Energy, Tampa Electric Co. and Gulf Power.
This is a sham. It is an effort to hinder the development of alternative fuels. Get your head out of your ass and pay attention.

Republicans Hope Hurricane Matthew Will Deliver Florida To GOP
Florida Governor Rick Scott refuses to extend the deadline to register to vote, even though his state is being rocked by a massive hurricane. Could it be because the areas affected by the storm lean heavily Democratic?

EPA And Frackers Destruction Of The Gulf Of Mexico
The EPA is endangering an entire ecosystem by allowing the oil industry to dump unlimited amounts of fracking chemicals and drilling waste fluid into the Gulf of Mexico, this appalling plan from the agency that's supposed to protect our water violates federal law, and shows a disturbing disregard for offshore fracking's toxic threats to sea turtles and other Gulf wildlife. here

Bob (El Alcalde) Buckhorn Of The MCM
Bob Buckhorn’s recent trip to China invoked charges of hypocrisy from critics, who compared his very different public stance when it comes to doing business with Cuba. here

As a member of The Miami Cuban Mafia, El Alcalde as he is called by the family doing business with Cuba is unacceptable.

Florida GOP, Pro TBX Sandy Murman MIA
The Tiger Bay debate in Ybor was originally scheduled for October 7. Sandy Murman was unable to appear on that date so Tiger Bay reschedule the event around Ms. Murman's schedule to October 14. She confirmed almost two weeks ago, now suddenly has a conflict on this date.
"Maybe Ms. Murman doesn't want to defend her vote on TBX. Maybe she doesn't want to discuss the fiscally irresponsible transit 'plan' that she recently proposed that would have jeopardized our credit rating and threatened future essential services (police, fire, and rescue). Maybe she wanted to avoid having to answer questions about her donors - many of them developers - and why she often votes in favor of developer interests, instead of the residents of a particular area. These are all questions that may never get answered now that she is not going to attend the October 14 forum." here

Florida's Latino Population Is Going Democratic
The political leanings of Florida's Latino population have been viewed as an anomaly nationwide for years, with conservative Cuban Americans forming the heart of the Latino voting bloc in the state. But a combination of changing demographics (e.g. the influx of Puerto Rican transplants fleeing economic conditions), generational shifts, and GOP defections has entirely reshaped the Latino vote. here
