Alex Sink’s Sellout to Ponzi Schemer Rothstein

As the Florida electorate begins to focus on the November general election, there is no doubt that the political skeletons of a few candidates will start to creep out of their closets. Democrat Gubernatorial candidate Alex Sink is one of the candidates that may want to put a couple of dead-bolt locks on her closet door. Early in 2009, Sink courted famed Ponzi-schemeing jailbird Scott Rothstein with phone calls and personal meetings to get him to jump on board her campaign to become Florida’s next governor. Rothstein and his partners donated thousands of dollars to Alex Sink, along with the $200,000 he donated to the Florida Democrat Party. … Continue Reading

Rick Scott’s Brilliant Pick for LG- State Rep. Jennifer Carroll

Before Rick Scott picked Representative Jennifer Carroll as his running mate for Lieutenant Governor, many politicos and pundits, including yours truly, El Sharko, were speculating that the pick would be someone of Hispanic descent and come from  Miami-Dade County.

Scott’s selection of Representative Carroll may come as a bit of a surprise, but it is a fantastic pick.  Over the course of her legislative career, Carroll has proven herself to be nothing less than a solid conservative in the State House, and her voting record demonstrates that clearly. … Continue Reading

Rick Scott Vows to Help all GOP Candidates Statewide (VIDEO)

by Javier Manjarres

GOP Gubernatorial nominee Rick Scott is vowing to unify the state Republican Party as well as lean on them to support all Republican candidates running in both Congressional and  State races. The state GOP has long been accused of meddling in contested Republican primaries, as well as not supporting all Republican candidates. In the 2008 election cycle, I, as well as many other well connected people were told that RPOF resources would only be expended on ‘races that the party thought were winnable’. So what the party was telling us back in 2008 was that a candidate the caliber of Allen West was not a “viable candidate” and the it RPOF was the final judge as to would win or lose any race.   Fast forward 2 years-  and the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) is broke, but Scott’s vow to help all candidates is good news for all candidates statewide.  Is it fair to assume that Rick Scott is now holding the purse strings at the RPOF? … Continue Reading

Florida GOP’s Call for Unity Could Fall on Some Deaf Ears

by Javier Manjarres

After handing a devastating defeat to the Florida GOP Establishment, the State GOP almost immediately called for “unity” with conservative outsider and businessman Rick Scott.  Those same politicos who were adamantly hoping for Scott’s demise had not even finished their first serving of ‘baked crow’ before looking to make amends with Scott and offer their support to this candidacy, but such is politics.  As we reported a few days ago, RPOF Chairman Thrasher visited Scott and several other McCollum supporters, including Adam Hasner, Mike Haridopolous and Dean Cannon, who all  extended their warm congratulations and support to the winner.  The RPOF, as well as all down the ballot Republican candidates will need Scott’s help because of the fact that the state party is near broke and will not be able to offer the usual support  to both state and federal candidates without a little ‘help’ from Mr. Scott. … Continue Reading
