Ladra didn’t really expect the Bendixen and Amandi debate watch party to be bipartisan, even though I was told several high-profile local GOPpers were invited. Then Jorge Arizurrieta, a member of the Mitt Romney Hispanic leadership team, came in. Monday, Arizurrieta hobnobbed at Versailles with Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Congresspeople Connie Mack and Ileana […]
If debate watch parties voted, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney would be in trouble. Ladra has already seven invitations for different events Wednesday. But five of them are hosted by Democrats supporting President Barack Obama. “You are on the wrong mailing lists,” joked my friend, Republican Superwoman and former Congressional candidate Marili Cancio, who lost […]
U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio and Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen went to their Versailles voter base Monday to try to resuscitate the Connie Mack IV campaign against U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson with a little mouth to mouth. Some say he needs an epinephrin shot to the heart. You know, ala Pulp Fiction. But for the first time […]
Thank you to former Hialeah Councilwoman and Crime Watch Maven Carmen Caldwell for reminding me of one of the most heated battles on the ballot this election, which I am definitely following but forgot to mention in the post about the races to watch. That would be the fight for District 11 between former State […]
In between pushing for a cap on state government spending (good boy!) and trying to block a lawsuit by parents who believe the state is not adequately funding our public schools (bad boy!), Florida Senate President Mike Haridopolos has time to promote his doctor wife’s weekly write-up (very good boy!). “Check out my wife’s weekly […]
Most of the people on the list of supporters hosting a fundraiser tonight for Miami Lakes Councilwoman Mary Collins are not a surprise: Mayor Michael “Muscles” Pizzi, Vice Mayor Ceasar Mestre, Councilman Nick Perdomo — who I like to call the Bermuda Triangle — and lawyer Javier Vasquez, who also did a fundraiser for Pizzi […]
Well, at least one more sign. No sooner had I published the post about the mirrored campaign sign for Miami Lakes Mayor Michael “Muscles” Pizzi‘s re-election campaign than — wham — I get a photo of another peculiar get-out-the-vote tactic taken from Hialeah politics. This one, to the left, is sent by an alert reader […]
So what? President Barack Obama went to the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday and defended Democracy and denounced terrorism. Oooh. Aaaah. Is he for world peace and ending hunger also? Is he against hate? Big statement. All the president really did in his long-winded, yet elegant way of speaking was defend, denounce, decry, dismiss and […]
¿Y qué? El presidente Barack Obama fue a la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas el martes y defendió la democracia y denunció el terrorismo. Oooh. Aaaaah ¿Es por la paz mundial y la erradicación del hambre también? ¿Está en contra del odio? Que gran declaración. Todo lo que el presidente realmente hizo en su […]
Looks like Miami Lakes Mayor Michael “Muscles” Pizzi is seeking some higher intervention in his re-election campaign — as evidenced by the generous use of mirrors on this here yard sign, posted on the corner of 154th Street and Northwest 79th Avenue. And here we thought santeria rituals in political campaigns were unique to Hialeah. […]
