Congressman Joe Garcia wants to hit the ground running after Republican voters in District 26 decide on Tuesday who they are going to pit against him in November. And with less than a week to go, Dems are tracking only two of the five GOP primary candidates: Miami-Dade School Board Member Carlos “Crybaby” Curbelo and […]
“Fuera, fuera, fuera de Miami.” “Hey, hey. Ho, ho. Romney’s got to go.” It may have been all sunshine and cupcakes inside Vicky Bakery in West Kendall Monday, where one-time Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney campaigned with congressional hopeful Carlos Curbelo, a Miami-Dade School Board member, who is desperately trying to cling to his self-proclaimed […]
Que se ha creido Carlos Curbelo. The Miami-Dade School Board member and congressional wannabe actually had the gall to lie and accuse Ladra of extortion when he spoke with WPLG’s Michael Putney, one of the most important political reporters in the 305, on the day of my first appearance on This Week In South Florida. […]
Former Congressman David “Nine Lives” Rivera is not just a brilliant political mind who has managed to stay ahead of both U.S. prosecutors and the media while remaining Prince Charming among voters. He is also a media genius. Yes, the same Rivera who told The Miami Herald’s Marc Caputo to “email me” 17 times when […]
Former Republican Party Presidential nominee Mitt Romney will likely be photographed later today sipping cafe cubano in front of scores of rolling TV cameras and news people to prove that (1) he loves us Latins after all, even though we pretty much cost him the 2012 election and (2) Miami-Dade School Board Carlos Curbelo is […]
Former Republican nominee for president Mitt Romney will be in town Monday to stump for Miami-Dade School Board Member Carlos Curbelo in the latter’s bid for congressional office. First, Romney and Curbelo will go to a Cuban bakery in West Kendall Monday afternoon to campaign with Curbelo. But there will also be a fundraiser that […]
Who would have thunk it? Three Cuban American women on Wednesday held a fundraiser for the only non-Cuban candidate in the congressional Republican primary for District 26. Because to them, and to a number of other Latino voters, Cutler Bay Mayor Ed “Big Mac Daddy” MacDougall is just the best man for the job. The […]
Up until recently, it seemed that Miami-Dade School Board Member Carlos Curbelo was campaigning just against Congressman Joe Garcia, who he hopes to face in November. But he needs to win the Aug. 26 election firstĀ and, up until recently, Curbelo wasn’t paying much mind to any of four other candidates sharing space with him on […]
On the first day of early voting, Miami-Dade School Board Member Carlos Curbelo — who already has soft, squishy endorsements from former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, former Congressman Lincoln Diaz-Balart, his political mentor, and Congress members Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart — announced he was also backed by former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. I […]
It looks like former Congressman David “Nine Lives” Rivera still has some breath in him as his on-again-off-again campaign is on again. Rivera unleashed a second round of robocalls on Republican absentee voters Monday that, again, poked at the Miami Herald rather than any one of the four other candidates on the Aug. 26 primary […]
