Well I don’t know if what he said was smart, but I will not lie about it: military service DOES count for a lot with me when I am looking at candidates.
And I don’t apologize for it at all!
“minority candidate Calvin Turnquest”
What he heck is a minority candidate?
Can anyone figure out what this horribly written story is about.
If two candidates are politically identical except for military service, I would vote for the one that had picked up a rifle and defended our great nation.
Hitler and Tim McVeigh were war heroes. Calvin Coolidge never served in the military.
This column appears to be a tempest in a teapot. This is Allen West’s former seat and he has chosen not to do a rematch. The republicans have a 2% edge, but with a democrat incumbent that would be hard to overcome.
There are six candidates running for the Republican nomination. Five of them have collectively rasied $764,000 vs Patrcik Murphy’s $2.8 million and he had $2.2 of that on hand at the end of March.
The article does not point out any connection between them or their son to district 18 or Mr. Turnquist. Most of the article is smear of Mr. Dominio.
Note, I do not live in Florida and have no horse in this race. Just pointing out bad blogging.
