Just under one million Floridians have already cast their ballots in the presidential elections, and the number is closing in on the 10 percent total mark of all Florida registered voters. So far, though, Republicans have turned in more absentee ballots than Democrats, but their absentee advantage is significantly down…
As per usual, Florida could play a decisive role in the upcoming presidential election, and at least Conan O’Brien thinks Floridians and Floridians alone can be trusted with deciding the fate of the White House for the next four years. Because, after all, this state is nothing but “a shining…
Last night’s debate was what political experts call a “turd sandwich.” Barack Obama and Mitt Romney provided 90 minutes of crap, and moderator Bob Schieffer happily mashed it all together between the blandest, stalest, white-bread questions he could find.Obama supporters will say their man won the debate (which is true),…
As most South Florida neighborhoods have sprouted unseemly subdivisions like toadstools in the shade, the Village of Palmetto Bay has remained a sleepy, middle-class enclave.That could all change on November 6, however, when residents go to the polls. Up for a vote: two spots on the City Council and an…
Meat had not passed the lips of Jacksonville City Council member Don Redman for thirty-five years. That’s not even a euphemism. Dude has been a solid vegetarian for three-and-a-half decades. Proving, however, that not all vegetarians are bleeding heart hippies, he decided to break his long-standing no meat policy by…
In 2008, the editorial boards of Florida’s four biggest newspapers all through their support behind President Obama. Well, in the past two days, the state’s two biggest papers offered their endorsements. The Saint Pete Times is sticking with President Obama in an endorsement that highlights his economic successes. In contrast,…
“Vote early, vote often” is such an infamous political quip indicating voter fraud that it literally has its own Wikipedia page. So, it doesn’t look good that the Florida AFL-CIO’s website proclaimed that their mantra is to “vote early, vote often.”…
For more than a year, Mitt Romney has jetted across the country, calling Barack Obama an utter failure. The president has done his fair share of name-calling too, but it wasn’t until two weeks ago that he had a chance to stand up to his challenger in person. Instead of…
We all know Obama hates the 1 percent, and Romney could care less about the 47 percent, but the cold hard truth is that neither campaign has done anything to gain support from the 24.6 percent. Yes, we’re talking about the 24.6 percent under the legal age to vote. America’s…
A new poll released this morning insinuated that President Obama was losing ground to Mitt Romney among Florida’s Latino voters, and apparently Romney staffers have a theory why: Obama doesn’t have enough “macho bravado” for Latinos. …
If Barack Obama wants to win Florida and nab its vital 29 electoral votes, he’s got some big-time work to do at tomorrow’s debate. Two new polls out today find not only that Mitt Romney has gained five points in Florida since dominating in the first debate, but more worryingly for…
For the past few months, most electoral maps have painted Florida a faint shade of blue, but ever since last week’s debate Mitt Romney has made a comeback in Florida and turned our peninsula into a speculative shade of light red…
There is blood in the water, b*tches.Unlike the snooze-fest of a first presidential debate, last night’s vice presidential debate was political pugilism at its finest. And after a 90-minute bout, Laughin’ Joe Biden edged out an exhausting win over blue-eyed Republican budget boy toy Paul Ryan.Here’s your ten-second breakdown:Paul Ryan…
Politics make strange Tweetfellows. While Mitt Romney has tried to claim Florida’s economy under Barack Obama has been lagging, Florida Governor Rick Scott has maintained, for his own political future, that the economy in the state is improving.So, while it might be strange that the Barack Obama campaign is highlighting…
Mitt Romney absolutely manhandled Barack Obama during last week’s first presidential debate. First, the Mormon Miracle-worker stunned the Prez by flip-flopping on his $5 trillion tax cut for the rich. Then he flogged Obama with falsehoods until Big Bird silently wept off-stage. But tonight’s vice presidential debate is a whole ‘nother…
Floridians worried about meningitis might have ended up calling a phone sex hotline thanks to Rick Scott. During a Florida cabinet meeting, the governor was giving an update on the fungal meningitis outbreak and told any concerned citizens to call an 866 number. Turns out he gave the wrong one…
Mitt Romney made Barack Obama his bitch during last week’s presidential debate. He lied and obfuscated; flip-flopped and feigned outrage; flapped his finely manicured hands and blamed Obama for allegedly leading us down the path to socialist serfdom. Unsurprisingly, the mainstream media promptly rewarded Romney’s radical revisionism with gushing praise.But…
Has Mitt Romney crawled his way back into the lead in Florida? According to a new poll released today by Rasmussen Report, he’s now leading President Obama by about two points (within the margin of error) in Florida.It’s the first poll conducted in Florida since Wednesday’s debate, but it also…
Obama may not have done his reelection campaign any favors by pulling a Dan Carpenter-vs-the-Jets level chokejob in Wednesday’s debate. But it’s increasingly clear that, at least in Florida, the president has gotten a huge boost from his executive order in July halting deportations for some children of illegal immigrants.A…
Even Barack Obama’s biggest detractors admit that the man is a gifted orator. So the nation was left slack jawed last night by his weak performance. It was like watching LeBron James get schooled by Kyle Korver or something.In the day-to-day horse race, it certainly doesn’t look good for the…
As Walter Cronkite once said: “Well, that debate was one flaming pile of rancid cat shit.”*For those of you who didn’t suffer through last night’s 90-minute cojone-eating contest between Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama, here’s your 10-second summary:Romney wonObama lostRomney snorted Ronald Reagan’s ashes before going on stageObama performed…
After Genting Group’s aggressive push to shove gambling down the throat of the Florida legislature this year failed spectacularly, gambling interests have taken a more low key approach to eventually opening the sunshine state to more gaming. They may be looking to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot in…
