As if Ladra could get any happier Tuesday night, after the historic victory by Raquel Regalado, who forced Carlos Gimenez into a runoff that we know she can win in November.
But then, Trust Fund Baby Andrew Korge — who shopped around for a seat he felt he could win and then spent $700,000 or more 
to become a senator and then went mad dog on everybody and their mother — and then came in third anyway.
Our mailboxes in District 40 are going to get a little lonely.
Korge — who sent two dozen mailers and spent a quarter of a million, at least, on TV commercials — was beaten by the incumbent senator he cast as a terrorist sympathizer with money problems and a former state rep and party switcher who didn’t even campaign.

Sen. Dwight Bullard gets to defend his seat in November, winning with 49 percent of the vote (state primaries are won by the majority not a 50%+1 threshold). Former State Rep. Ana Rivas Logan — who suspended her campaign to avoid the negative attacks she saw coming from Korge (he lunged for her anyway) — got 25 percent and Korge got 22 percent. Only Misselys Perez, who never campaigned or raised a dime outside of what she needed to qualify (plantidate anyone?) got less with slightly over 5 percent.
Bullard raised a total of $153,500 and Rivas Logan came in second with only $17K.
Could it be that the negative mailers turned people off? Could it be that nobody knew who this man who pronounced his name Kor-hay was? Could it be they saw him for the entitled, spoiled little snot who has never done anything on his own except ride his papi‘s coattails?
Korhay was nowhere to be found Tuesday. Nobody I talked to at several precincts saw him. They did see some of his campaign workers holding Sen. Anitere Flores fans at West Dade Regional Library — because that is in her district, not his, proving that more money does not necessarily mean more brains.
Or maybe he’s thinking of running for county commissioner next, against Javier Souto?
May we suggest that Baby Korge do something on his own first. Because Ladra would bet that Korge can’t get elected to the community council in any of the West Dade areas.
Andrew Korge can go home now and do something added by Ladra on
