And the hits just keep on coming against former Sen. Alex Diaz de la Portilla in the Republican primary for Senate District 40, a special summer election brought to you by the arrogant, drunken, racist rants of former Sen. Frank Artiles, who was forced to resign. That the attacks are coming from or on behalf of Artiles’ best […]
Sure, sure, there are six candidates in the Florida Senate District 40 race for the seat vacated by Frank Artiles, who resigned abruptly in April after he was caugh making racist and sexist comments to and about colleagues. But really, most if not all of the attention is going to be on the four familiar faces […]
It started. The rain of negative mail we all knew we were going to get in the Republican primary for Senate District 40 began this week as an 8 1/2 by 11 piece landed in mailboxes. And former State Rep. Jose Felix “Pepi” Diaz — or his side, anyway — has drawn first blood against former […]
Daisy Baez vs. Ana Rivas Logan vs. Annette Taddeo The Senate 40 race to replace disgraced former Sen. Frank Artiles got a little more interesting Monday when Republican State Rep. Jose Felix Diaz said he would run, as expected, and perennial Democrat candidate Annette Taddeo said she would run, as always expected — setting up for […]

If former Sen. Alex Diaz de la Portilla runs for city of Miami mayor, he could make it into a runoff with Commissioner Francis Suarez. And if he jumps into the commission race instead, the Dean will hit the ground as the front runner. These are the findings of a tiny, very unscientific poll done […]
In what may be one of the most stark contrasts between the two Miami men who would be president — not counting the crazy millionaire who is seriously deluded — young Jeb Bush supporters get Jebby, the candidate’s son, to rally them at South Florida events while Sen. Marco Rubio‘s fans get the real McCoy. […]
Just because former Sen. Alex Diaz de la Portilla has kept pretty much low key since his blistering loss to State Rep. Jose Javier Rodriguez in 2012 doesn’t mean he’s running away to Europe or hiding in a smoke-filled Little Havana Florida Room, plotting something or other. He’s actually writing legislation again. Hallelujah! Diaz de la […]
At first blush, it may seem like a difficult decision. But it’s really a no brainer. Because the the circuit court race that pits former School Board Member and State Rep. Renier Diaz de la Portilla against Assistant City of Miami Attorney Veronica Xiques Diaz is really a choice between a promise and a puppet. Sure, Baby DLP can be […]
