The biggest problem in the Carlos Gimenez mayoral campaign came right before noon today: rain. The wet weather is expected to affect the small “rush” of voters who typically go to their Election Day precincts to vote. And turnout has never been more important in a race than it is today. Of course it’s desireable […]
Univision Radio is going to have to eat some cuervo on Election Day. And front-running candidate Carlos Gimenez couldn’t buy better advertising. After being accused of having a slant for Julio Robaina, the station will have to admit that two of it’s veteran talkers, Oscar Haza and Roberto Rodriguez-Tejera, basically lied live on their programs […]
The campaign finance reports were finally posted online by the elections department late Monday afternoon and it shows that at least another cool million was raised between both candidates in the heated Miami-Dade mayoral race. Julio Robaina is up to $1.7 million, raising $400,000 in the last three weeks. Former county commissioner Carlos Gimenez is […]
When the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office questions Luther Campbell about his endorement-for-a-favor , they should ask him what he knows about Julio Robaina‘s absentee ballot operation. Uncle Luke, who came in fourth in the May 24 primary and later endorsed Robaina because Carlos Gimenez would not give his friend a job, went on twitter today […]
Almost 40,000 early voters cast ballots in the county mayoral race, about 5,000 more than those who went to the early voting sites in the May 24 election. Like the 77,500 absentee ballots, the majority of which Ladra thinks will still go to the machinery paid for by former Hialeah mayor Julio Robaina (though with […]
More absentee voters have cast ballots in the June 28 mayoral runoff than in the May 24 primary already, with six days left for people to return them. As of today, the Miami-Dade Elections Department reports that 75,471 absentee ballots returned of the 126,980 requested. That’s almost 60 percent. And it could top 80,000 by […]
When all is said and done, the two final candidates in the county mayoral race will have spent more than $3 million between them to get out the vote. Julio Robaina has raised more than $2 million and maybe close to $2.5 million so far in his bid to become the next Miami-Dade Mayor — […]
Maybe Miami-Dade mayoral candidate Carlos Gimenez digs Hialeah, after all. The former county commissioner has taken some disproportionate flack for a robocall that disses the City of Progress, which he says his campaign has nothing to do with (more on that later). But he sure spends a lot of time there. Saturday’s caravan through the […]
Ladra is not a big Star Wars fan, but doesn’t Luke Skywalker betray the force in one of those movies to join Darth Vader in his evil plans? Well, looks like it happened again. Former rapper and mayoral candidate Luther Campbell, known as Luke Skywalker in the rap world, backed out of an endorsement for […]
Carlos Gimenez was left standing at the altar Wednesday, so to speak. The former county commissioner and mayoral candidate was ready to announce a surprise “major endorsement” everyone knew was going to be from Luther Campbell, one of the nine candidates that did not make the run-off, at an inner city park Wednesday morning that […]
