• Is Republican Cannibalism Afoot in Florida?

  Being a trafficker in rank speculation and flimsy rumors, I can't help but admire the science-based speculation and rumor creation available on FiveThirtyEight.com, which I checked approximately 642 times daily in October. The captain of this vessel is Nate Silver, who crunches poll numbers in a way that unlocks the Mysteries of the Universe. Any minute now he will tell us the winner of the 2016 Presidential Election. (So you know, Obama won reelection in 2012.)With his usual gusto, Silver tackl

And doesn't it just make you want him more?Yes, Jeb has always played hard to get with the Phallic State. Remember those post-hurricane press conferences? He wore his reading glasses and an attitude that implied our little hurricane problem has pulled him away from something important. And the 2000

• Wait... We Give Inmates Belts?

  We must, because according to a Miami Herald headline, the inmates are tightening them. Just ask D'Angelo from The Wire whether belts should be allowed in prison. Well...I guess we can't ask him now, can we? Then again, maybe the Herald's just being metaphorical. Florida is coping with the effects of a failed and expensive food-privatization venture of former Gov. Jeb Bush. In 2001, the state turned over most prison food operations to Aramark Corp., even after Ohio had scrapped a similar experim

That campaign would have taken time away from his superhero hobby, which will be on display this time next week.Bush is scheduled to appear on "special" edition Fox News' Hannity -- not to be confused with the show's previous incarnation Hannity and the Scarecrow -- April 9 for an episode modestly entitled, "Six Ideas to Save America."Does that sta

Because clearly, there's no path back to political relevance for the Republican Party that does not include winning back Florida. And yet the two figures who have the most credibility on that front, governors Jeb Bush and Charlie Crist, are being tossed aside by the radio personality turned voice of the party as well as by others on the party's far right.During a time when Limbaugh was preaching his

• Finally, a State Poll That's Relevant

  Flickr User: drewanteyeTill recently, every poll for the 2010 Florida election was filled with "ifs." If Crist runs for Senate will you vote for him? If Alex Sink runs for governor, will you vote for her? With the flurry of campaign announcements the last few weeks, the new poll from Mason-Dixon is a picture of the starting line in this 18-month marathon.The poll shows Crist getting 53 percent of the Republican vote against primary challenger Marco Rubio, who has an 18 percent that can safely be

• For Supreme Court, Two South Florida Judges Coulda Been Contenders

  Photo courtesy Official White House PhotostreamSotomayor and ObamaDuring the 2000 presidential campaign, Gov. George W. Bush vowed that if elected, he would nominate a Hispanic Supreme Court Justice. It certainly didn't hurt his popularity in Florida's Latin American community, and that was a race close enough where little things made a world of difference. Of course, he didn't follow through on that promise, among many others, and today Barack Obama made that milestone his own, nominating Judge

• Jeb Bush Presidential Bid Still Lacks Buzz

  ​As parents in the Palm Beach County School District tries to roll back Jeb Bush's shameful legacy of FCAT drilling, the former Florida governor is roaming around, looking to get his voice heard, apparently to gauge interest in a 2012 run for president (though he'd never admit that).Bush made a very brief -- and somewhat shocking -- appearance as an Obama booster in today's column in the New York Times by David Brooks -- apparently the ex-governor's a fan of what the president has done with na

• Spellbinding Jeb Bush Speech on Education Ruined by Reality-Based Journalist

  FlickrJeb Bush​Your former governor was in Atlanta recently, earnestly pretending to be a frontrunner for the 2012 Republican nomination for president. Or maybe he was testing a theory about mind control: that if you keep telling people something that's false, maybe they'll come to believe that it's true.If so, Jeb Bush should take a cue from those windowless, clockless casinos -- the key is to contain the encroaching forces of reality. That's what appeared to break the spell for an Atlanta co

• High-Ranking Jeb Bush Associate Offers Candid Critique of Crist

  Flickr: Linnette Alissa​The wild card in the race for the Republican nomination to U.S. Senate is the endorsement of Jeb Bush. To get a read on whether he's leaning toward Charlie Crist or Marco Rubio, I consulted a source who -- in exchange for his or her candor -- we will simply call a high-ranking Bush associate. My sense is that this source speaks for a great many Floridians who have fond memories of Bush's time in the governor's office and in whose eyes Crist's tenure has been very frustr
