This is just breaking. No Charges have been released yet. But the chages will likely be due to the back-room dealings that allowed Jim Greer to pocket over $200,000 in contracts. Jim Greer was propelled to the seat by Governor Charlie Crist. There has to be some question as to how much help, and whatRead the Rest…

There will be a Democratic Primary this year for the seat currently held by Congressman Allen Boyd (D). Maybe there are some Democrats who aren’t too happy with Boyd as well. Al Lawson has qualified by petitions with just over 4700 verified signatures. I think it would be great for people who are registered DemocratsRead the Rest…

Imagine, if you will, that the Democrats actually believe in change for the good of everyone. Our country continues to face the same fundamental challenges it faced yesterday. Our health care system still needs reform. Wall Street still needs to be held accountable. We still need to create good jobs. And we still need toRead the Rest…

Now that Republican Scott Brown has a clear victory in the Massachusetts Senate race, it will be interesting to see where the Democrats try to go with Health Care. Constantly accusing Republicans of obstructionism, they will try to ram the Health Care reform bill through the process before Senator Brown(R) can be confirmed and seatedRead the Rest…

Of course this poll doesn’t really mean much since it was extremely limited in scope. But it could be a wake up call to Crist that he isn’t doing well in North West Florida. He garnered 86 votes to Gov. Charlie Crist’s 4 votes during a straw poll today hosted by the Okaloosa Republican ExecRead the Rest…

Once again, Charlie Crist gives ammunition to Mark Rubio by denying he endorsed the massive stimulus bill back by President Obama and the Democrats in Congress. He did this while speaking to Wolf Blitzer. Of course we all know that he did, indeed, endorse the Stimulus package. Charlie Crist continues to show that he isn’tRead the Rest…

Mark Rubio is running for the Senate and seems to be doing a better job than Charlie Crist in my opinion. He appeared on Fox News with Neil Cavuto today and talked about conservatives and politicians. The more I hear about Mark Rubio the more I like him. Which is a definite plus since IRead the Rest…

Big shocker here. Via Politico, Senator Martinez will not be returning after the August recess. Pretty much means he has quit completely. There is going to be lots of speculation about who Governor Crist will appoint to the seat now. Especially since Crist will be running for the seat when it comes up for election.Read the Rest…

I can’t say that I am surprised but I can say that I am disappointed that Florida Governor Jeb Bush decided not to run for the Senate. “After thoughtful consideration, I have decided not to run for the United States Senate in 2010. – NRO Though this does leave a large gaping hole that needsRead the Rest…

Over the last couple of Elections, it has been apparent that the GOP was heading the wrong direction in most of the country. If you took some time to look at the breakout of each district voting and how it voted party wise you would notice a trend that shows the Republican party shrinking withRead the Rest…
