State Sen. Frederica Wilson is currently running to replace Kendrick Meek in his North Miami congressional district.

Last week marked the five-year anniversary of the death of Terri Schiavo.

Marco Rubio borrowed a thought he credited to Glenn Beck at a rally Wednesday and had this to say about immigration: “There are millions of people in America that hate our country, so why can’t we just do a trade? We’ll send you Sean Penn, Janeane Garofalo, and Keith Olbermann,…
Who’s going to be Florida’s next senator come Election Day in November? No one knows. Not even respected political newspaper The Hill. It recently changed its ranking of the race from “leaning Republican” to “toss-up.”A recent Research 2000 poll showed Meek was pulling within 1 percent of Rubio, 41-40 percent. Though…
Unfortunately for ex-Florida Gov. Job Bush and former Miami mayor Manny Diaz, they didn’t have enough money, clout or the proper political climate to get an exemption to term limits and run a third time. A man who did, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, has chosen them to serve…

Our old friend, Miami native and Saturday Night Live alum Victoria Jackson, was on the Fox News show Fox & Friends today. She’s as crazy as ever, or as Gawker put it: “just a touch too crazy for Fox.”She was plugging her appearance with Sarah Palin (“my hero”) this weekend…
Fidel Castro took some time out of his busy schedule of not dying to pen a piece for a state newspaper that said President Obama and the Democrat’s recent passage of health care reform is a “miracle.” Well, the Republican Party of Florida took time out of their busy schedule of…
Charlie Crist has been hemming and hawing about Marco Rubio’s “questionable” spending on the Republican Party of Florida’s American Express cards, saying stupid things about back waxes and “true conservatives.” So naturally, campaign finance reports show that Crist’s campaign also charged money on RPOF cards, according to The Herald/Times…
Yesterday we showed you Charlie Crist’s first television ad for his floundering bid for the US senate. It’s an attack ad against his tea bagging superstar Republican rival Marco Rubio. Well, now Rubio has produced two ads of his own, and his campaign plans to buy up the 15 seconds before…
Charlie Crist keeps free-falling in the Republican Senate primary, but he’s not going down without a fight. He has a sizable war chest, and the campaign’s first attack ad against Marco Rubio is set to air with a “sizable buy” of air time. If you can’t wait to see it…
