I saw this at Real Clear Politics and decided to post it for your thoughts on the subject. I am very confident that we will hold the Governorship this year, along with a supermajority in both the state House and Senate. The US Senate race on the other hand is going to require a lot of work and will be very tough.
This from the most liberal rag in Florida. Low readership and even lower reporters.
while the GOP might be in trouble, you should make it a rule to ignore Matt Towery, he is always pessimistic and never has any polling positive for republicans.
It is a liberal paper, but there is one paper even worse, the Daytona Beach News-Journal. It makes the Times look like the Weekly Standard on some days
The Dems have made hay on Abramoff etc. . .but Repubs should have been; and still should be raking and 'making' their own. . .
Isn't this the paper that backed the DA (Brad King, I think) who refused to charge that trash who helped that guy kidnap and kill little Jessica Lundsford? The paper that smeared the representatives who tried to pressure King to bring charges on these crack-heads?
If the offices of this paper burned down tomorrow with everyone in it, I would first smile then beg God's forgiveness.
Stench?? - You can't even wrap seafood in this crummy rag
you will never get that smell out of the fish.
OK! I'll give you that. Then again, I might argue with myself and throw in the Lakeland Ledger (a NYT newspaper) or the Orlando Slantinel. These are all papers in my area.
Glad the nostrils of adam smith are immune to the stench of demonrat scandal wafting out of Washington.
Yes! It is the same newspaper.
If the offices of this paper burned down tomorrow with everyone in it, I would first smile then beg God's forgiveness.
God wouldn't have to forgive you. He'd congratulate you and then bless you.
The democratic party in Florida is in deep trouble. It has been and will continue for a while.
Just eight months ago the IRS put a lien on them and had a $900,000 shortage.
The other end of the state used to be solid liberal until the people who escaped from Cuba recognized the formula ( liberals = mini-Castros) and became solid Republicans. Plus, the liberals who come here are generally old liberal retirees and when they die, they don't get to keep voting like they do in Cook County, Illinois.
The one man who could save the day for conservatives in this state at this time is Jeb Bush. If he were running, there's no amount of money Nelson and the Dems could spend and nothing they could do to stop him.
The liberal media sharks are having a feeding frenzy with Katherine Harris. Just like sharks, they'll be piling on and the coverage will just get worse.
Let them try that (it failed last time) with Jeb at their own peril.
Speaking of rose colored glasses-
The Democrats running the SPT need a mirror or two...
They fail to mention the most signficant fact facing Florida come Nov 2006:
Charlie Crist is getting ready to walk away with the primary and is in great shape for the Fall elections - and he is charismatic enough that he will likely have big fat wide Republican coat tails.
Another thought - this strikes me as typical liberal opinion pushing - they think it, and then find someone to say it, and then report it as news - they think they can influence the great unwashed with opinions shrouded in news clothing and make their opinions into fact.
Note to media: it's not 1960 anymore...
Your posts remind me of how awful the Gainesville Sun is, too. Are there any papers in Florida that aren't liberal rags?
ping
It won't surprise me if Crist wins the primary, but I could never vote for the man. I think he is just as much a politician as any in Washington. He'll say whatever he thinks will win him the election, and then do nothing about the real problems.
Exactly , and Crist has big names like Trump and Walsh backing him .
Would you vote for one of the anti-gun Liberal Dims that Crist will be facing off against ?
So are you declaring yourself a Jim Davis Republican? :)
I encourage you to check Charlie's record - he's done a fantastic job at every post he's held in FL from where I sit. I left FL 2 years back, so maybe things have changed...
