Bill McCollum Kicked to the Curb

The St. Pete Times, 8/24/2010:

(...)

The Associated Press called the race for (Rick) Scott just before 11 p.m. McCollum initially held out, waiting for the final tally and telling supporters to be patient.

At 12:34 a.m. today in an e-mailed news release, he admitted defeat. "The votes today have been tallied and I accept the voters' decision," he said, calling the primary "one for the ages.''

His concession carried with it the same pugnacious tone that marked the bare-knuckled race.

"No one could have anticipated the entrance of a multimillionaire with a questionable past who shattered campaign spending records and spent more in four months than has ever been spent in a primary race here in Florida,'' he said.

Froggers, it appears Bill McCollum has left the building.

For the harm this man has inflicted on families via perpetuation of legal myths regardless of what research revealed, for his resistance to civil rights restoration, for Terri Schiavo...

...good riddance.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Bill.

Tuesday is Trash Day

On Tuesday, Florida voters take out the garbage, beginning with the much-needed removal of Bill McCollum from the office of Attorney General.

But will voters trash his political career permanently at the primary, ending McCollum's bid as the Republican candidate for Governor by choosing newbie Rick Scott instead?

Sounds good to me. Because I'm fairly certain Floridians will address the next Governor as Alex Sink.

Speaking of the Attorney General race? For the Democrats, the choice is Dave Aronberg or Dan Gelber.

For the Republicans: Holly Benson, Pam Bondi and Jeff Kottkamp.

Who will make that cut and most importantly, who will be the best choice to move this state out of the Dark Ages?

And who will be the best choice for us?

Charlie Crist vs Broward County

Just call him Eliot Ness.

Charlie Crist is hot on the trail of South Florida political corruption, singling out nine subtropical counties, although most know the real target is Broward County, home of a School Board that is pretty much getting schooled these days.

Read more about which lobbyists are reportedly in the midst of the probe. (Be patient, Froggers. It's only a matter of time before the right rock is turned over, revealing The One We Want before a court of law).

Speaking of probes, Broward County candidate Travis Williamson finds a peeping accusation coming back to haunt his campaign. And oh, by the way.

He's running for the School Board. LOL.

Zany.

But back to Gov. Charlie.

His get tough stance may be gubernatorial overkill to distract from his certain to be raised during the Senate race connection with presently imprisoned Ponzi political contributor, Scott Rothstein.

Who also contributed to the Bill McCollum campaign. LMAO.

Follow the donation trail here.

Ya gotta love it.

Who's Next to Fall in South Florida?

Per The Daily Pulp (8/6/10):

Another thing: There's another very serious corruption-fighting body in town and a source tells me it is digging deep and has already produced an indictment against a public official that is under seal. No, it's not the BSO unit. It's not the feds. It's not the SAO. On Monday I'll bring more information, including the apparent targets of the probe.

Please let the target be who I want it to be.
