Florida Congressional candidate Eddie Adams Jr. (R) was admitted to Tampa General Hospital Sunday suffering from severe burns on the hands and arms. He will be undergoing additional skin grafts Tuesday.

A vandal tied a mattress to the underside of Mr. Adams pick-up truck. Friction with the road, and contact with the catalytic converter combined to ignite the bedding.

As he drove down Busch Boulevard in Tampa, Florida, onlookers began to wave and shout

They BURNED vehicles in Kenya during the Odinga takeover riots. Odinga-Obama campaigned in Kenya together for Odinga when Obama was US Senator.

No Barack, No Peace.

Be Prepared. It could happen. But I'm predicting a runaway landslide for McCain because of Palin with Obama sitting in the middle of the ballroom floor crying like a baby: "They don't like me; they really don't like me."

Here is a detail page about the Florida 11th congressional district race. Castor and Adams were opponents in 2006 as well.

Prayers for Eddie. Unfortunately, I know how local radio talk show hosts can be. I hope they disscuss this now.
Perhap, this incident will help Eddie Adams win! Go Eddie!
