Pro-Cason Mailer Tries to Suggest UMiami Endorsement
Number of comments: 5I think this pro-Cason mailer that turned up in today’s mail is sort of sleazy.
It is by some Electioneering Communications Organization based in Venice, FL (!) called Citizens United For Future Leaders, represented by one Eric Robinson.
The mailer is clearly designed to create the impression that the University [...]

Endorsements in Coral Gables Commission Races?
Number of comments: 3I thought I would create a place for people to post information about endorsements in the Coral Gables Commission and Mayor races. I’m primarily interested here in organizational endorsements, not individual endorsements by local elected officials and worthies.

The Christian Family Coalition's Attack on Congresswoman Ilena Ros-Lehtinen. By Geniusofdespair
You have to hit on this press release to read it. It really should be read by every friggin' politican in Miami Dade County who goes to this group for an endorsement. You should be ashamed, Democrats and Republicans alike. This press release is a travesty.
Yeah, I really [...]

Early Campaigns: Some Work, Some Don’t
Number of comments: 3BY BUDDY NEVINS
Candidates should get into races early.
That’s a maxim of political experts. The earliest candidates, they say, get their hands on the donations first.  They sew up endorsements. All this serves to discourage opponents from challenging them.
Does the tactic work?
Sometimes yes. Sometimes no.
Early races often only benefit political consultants, [...]

Miami Herald Editoiral Board Weighs Into the Coral Gables Commission Election
Number of comments: 1The Miami Herald — which IMHO has very little credibility in Coral Gables elections given the weirdness of its endorsements two years ago (Renee Alvarez? Really?), has chosen to endorse Cason, Lago and Keon. As I’ve said previously, I’m a bit torn in the Mayorality race, think Hancock won [...]

Number of comments: 2
By Steph RogersJUPITER -- Ozzie Guillen’s endorsement of Wade LeBlanc as the ‘Cy Young of spring training’ didn’t earn him a spot in the Marlins rotation in 2012. He was sent packing for New Orleans to begin his season with the triple-A Zephyrs.

Interesting high-profile endorsement for Alan Clendenin in his bid to lead the Florida Democratic Party: Alex Sink, the 2010 and possibly 2014 candidate for governor. To date, Clendenin opponent Allison Tant has soaked up all the establishment help, namely Sen. Bill Nelson and Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. [...]
