Correct. Sorry for mixup.
Dan is still the man.
Lt.Comdr.(ret)Dan Fanelli FL-8
http://www.electdan2010.com/
Lt.Col,(ret)Allen West
http://www.allenwestforcongress.com/
Dan has a serious practical politics problem, however. Florida has gone from a first primary then runoff primary system to a winner-take-all first (and only) primary system.
That new system very much favors Webster and Kelly. It was designed to favor incumbents and anyone who has existing name recognition, and does.

I am hoping this time that the voters in District 8 will not be “going with the GOP elite pick or the candidate with the most name recognition”, but will really check out all the District 8 candidates. If they do I am sure they will find that Dan Fanelli is the man we need to face Grayson in November! He is a true patriot and Veteran who honors our constitution and the oath he took for life!
Posting a link to Dan's interviews and video clips for folks who may not have had the chance to get to know Dan Fanelli. As many of Dan's supporters say, “Dan's The Man!”
Just go to this link, click on “interviews” and “videos”:

Notes from the Trail – The Hypocrisy of the Left
Team West Supporters,
On Monday, Ron Klein launched his latest attempt at salvaging his fledging fundraising efforts. In an email to his shrinking pool of supporters, Klein outrageously claimed that Allen West has raised $2 million from people who have either been sympathetic to BP, proposed cuts to Medicare/Social Security, or are affiliated with corporations accused of wrongdoing.
With a complicit local left wing media at his back, Ron Klein and his political hacks have the freedom to make baseless assertions that the average American who supports our campaign “would leave our beaches in ruin, end Social Security and Medicare…”
Here are the facts:
Allen West has raised over $2 Million from nearly 26,000 individual contributions – including many of Klein’s former supporters. That’s about $80 on average per donation. Over 94% of our funds have come from individual contributions.
Ron Klein has received a vast majority of his contributions from PACs, unions, and other special interests. This includes at least $22,000 from trial lawyers, $10,000 from the SEIU, $30,000 from the Teamsters, and $11,000 from Fannie & Freddie.
In his desperate plea for more money to save his failing campaign, Klein tried to link Allen to BP through a March 2010 contribution from Congressman Joe Barton in Texas, and thousands of other donations from average Americans.
Here are the facts:
Allen West has never taken a dime from BP, has expressed his anger with BP’s inability to control its rig, and frustration with the Federal Government’s complete and utter failure in stemming the environmental disaster occurring off of Florida’s coasts.
Ron Klein received $1,500 from BP, has a former Chief of Staff who is now a lobbyist for BP, has been flip flopping on his position on offshore drilling, and has done absolutely nothing in his role as a United States Congressman to pressure the Obama Administration to get on top of this crisis.
Klein – a career politician and trial lawyer – says he is for the average American, yet has voted 98% of the time http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/members/K000366/ with Nancy Pelosi. He says he supports hard working citizens, yet he attacks and vilifies these very people for writing modest checks to his opponent. He says he is for Israel, yet he remains silent and actually defends the Obama Administration’s http://www.postonpolitics.com/2010/06/rep-klein-obama-faces-perception-problem-with-jewish-voters-over-his-israel-policy/ shameful browbeating of the Jewish State. He says he respects the veteran, yet he ruthlessly attacks and repeatedly calls ‘extremist’ a man who courageously and selflessly served his country for over 2 decades, serving in 3 different combat zones. Klein tries to link Allen to BP, yet he accepted and has refused to return $1,500 in donations from the oil giant. $1,500 may not be a lot of money to a career politician, but to the average Floridian, $1,500 is real money.
The hypocrisy is so thick you could slice it with a knife.
It has become crystal clear that a career in politics has distorted reality for Ron Klein. He is doing whatever it takes to run away from his record, and from the real problems facing South Florida. Under Ron Klein and Nancy Pelosi’s watch, Florida’s unemployment rate has climbed to a staggering 12.3% - much higher than the national average. When one drives down A1A or Federal Highway and sees empty house after empty house from Jupiter to Fort Lauderdale, it is a stark reminder of why Florida has the third highest foreclosure rate in the country. Ron Klein and his ultra-liberal base have set our country in a steep decline, and average Americans are fed up.
In the coming months, I can all but guarantee that you will see very little of Ron Klein as he continues to dodge his ultra liberal record. Rather, I expect a very negative campaign in which character assassination will be the method of choice for Klein and his cronies. But as continually demonstrated by Klein, he has miscalculated the American people, thus his tactics will continue to fail. The West Campaign will continue to run a campaign on the issues that South Floridians and all Americans care about – restoring our economy, protecting Americans, and bringing character and integrity back to Washington.
From the Trail,
Josh Grodin
Campaign Manager, Allen West for Congress

Hi All!
I reposted my previous link (shown above) to let you know the link has been changed to remove the Patricia Sullivan “sign switching” video from YouTube. However, you can still view the “dirty tricks video” here on the Sullivan website:
http://patriciasullivanforcongress.com/category/media/video/
Another interesting tidbit. I ran into a Sullivan supporter (I believe her campaign manager) this weekend who told me the video was only a “music video” not a “campaign video”. So now we know that the Sullivan campaign only alters “music videos” not “campaign videos”?
The “sign switching music video” was done by Sullivan supporter, Allen Wilson, for Patricia Sullivan to post on her campaign website and YouTube. Obviously the altered “music video” was approved by Sullivan and I wonder if that “free Sullivan music video” is considered a donation?
Allen Wilson had posted on another forum that he did the "altered music video" for the singing group, "The Rivoli Revue" and he has “artistic license” to do what he wants to his videos. I really doubt that the wonderful singing group, Ron & Kay Rivoli, would consider the music video as one that features them!
So according to a couple of the Patricia Sullivan supporter we are now to believe that Sullivan will only post altered music videos on her web site and YouTube but her campaign videos will be un-altered!
Perhaps freeper Defending Mother could tell us why Patricia Sullivan would approve of altered music videos to post on her web site and YouTube to show an event attendee as a Sullivan supporter, when he really supports one of her opponents! Wonder if Defending Mother thinks that is dishonest?
