Orlando businessman Ron Rushing announced yesterday that he’s withdrawing from the Republican primary race for U.S. Senate and instead will challenge state Senate Majority Leader Andy Gardiner, R-Orlando in the primary.
At a press conference held yesterday afternoon, Rushing said, “After being recently approached by many concerned citizens, they communicated to me that I am the right ‘citizen candidate’ that they are looking to elect but that I was in the wrong race. They asked me to consider partnering with them to first fix the State of Florida… “

Florida Senate Majority Leader Andy Gardiner (R-Orlando) was a guest speaker at the South West Orange County Republican club (SWOCR) this past Wednesday.
During a Q&A session, Gardiner surprisingly acknowledges that he was not familiar with the ‘Alinksi Method’, a theory of political organizing that is the lifeblood of the Democrat Party campaign plan.

For tea party members and those who’ve been very vocal in denouncing the go ahead on SunRail, here is an opportunity to put your money (and efforts) where your mouth is. This is a classic big government incumbent against a fiscally conservative, limited government challenger.
There’s always talk in the grassroots community of ’sending a message to Tallahassee’, well… there’s now a line open, what say you?
Not exactly a who’s who of staunch conservatives, which makes you wonder if this actually help’s LeMieux, who’s been busy distancing himself from Charlie Crist and dispelling charges of being a squishy Republican.

Women have the power. They take their right to vote seriously and show up at the polls in greater numbers than men according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.
In 2008, 60.4 percent of eligible female voters cast their vote versus 55.7% of eligible males. According to the same study, more women are registered to vote than men, 66.6 million versus 63.5 million. Maybe that’s why the “War on Women” has taken a front seat in this election…

This post kicks off a three-part series about the crisis of spending, debt and deficits.
The next part deals with the interval between now and the inevitable arrival of the Minsky Moment, i.e. the unknown and unknowable time when an unsustainable economic phenomenon suddenly collapses.
The third post will address Gotterdammerung, or what happens after the Minsky Moment.

It’s a fair guess that Connie Mack has seen some recent polling that has gotten his attention.
As the week closed out, the rhetoric coming from the Mack campaign took on a rather fervent pitch. In a press release sent out Thursday, it made the claim that opponent George LeMieux has “endorsed raising Florida’s sales tax to a nation-leading 16 percent.”

A big well dressed black guy attended the Dallas, TX tea party rally with his white buddy. Both men missed my singing performance on stage minutes earlier.
