Could El Zorro come to the rescue again? One of the names being batted around for a special election to replace disgraced former Sen. Frank Artiles — who resigned Friday after making inappropriate and racist comments earlier in the week when speaking to a few colleagues — is his all-time rival and nemesis, former Miami-Dade […]
Local Democrats are stuck between a rock and a hard place in tonight’s vote for a new state committeeman, which would be a stepping stone for the Florida chair position the same year that the Democrats lost the traditionally blue state to a rabid Republican in a crazy presidential contest and a no-show Senator that […]
The Coradito Calendar is getting fatter already, just in its third week. And it is thanks to many of you readers who emailed me and messaged me with events that you think should be included. So they are. Please keep ’em coming. Government meetings are easier to find and politicians promoting themselves at holiday basket […]
They need each other at this dark time. The Democrats of South Dade Club will have a special meeting next week to talk about what happened Tuesday and, from what it looks like on the email invite, hug it out. “There will be a special format for the November meeting,” it says. “We will start […]

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 […]
One of the scariest things that could happen Tuesday is that Trust Fund Baby Andrew Korge could actually win a seat on the Florida Senate. God help us all. Because he really doesn’t deserve it. Not only has Korge done nothing at all notable in his short adult life but live off his Papi’s millions, […]
Miami-Dade Police were called to the Coral Reef Library during early voting Sunday after trust fund baby Andrew Korge allegedly harassed one of the campaign poll workers stumping for former State Rep. Ana Rivas Logan and ripped palm cards out of her hands. Yes, Ana Rivas Logan is still in the race. She only suspended […]
In the District 40 Senate primary, trust fund baby Andrew Korge has sent the single Democrat voter in Ladra’s household 12 mailers in the past couple weeks.
