Last night the republicans debated at the Ronald Reagan Library, holy grounds for the GOP. Ronald Reagan’s name was mentioned a lot, perhaps 20 times by Mitt Romney. In fact, when each candidate was asked whether Ronald Reagan would endorse them, Mitt Romney confidently said “absolutely.” This despite the fact that just about every key player in the GOP has endorsed John McCain.
McCain came across with very little energy though and acted as if he had already locked up the nomination. In the beginning I was thinking jesus, somebody hand that guy a Red Bull! He also seemed to have a big …read more

Florida is over and two more presidential candidates have bitten the dust. John Edwards, who is from South Carolina, was really officially done after finishing third there. But he decided to stick around through Florida and its meaningless democratic delegates.
Giuliani was really done after running one of the worst presidential campaigns in history. He skipped the early states and ran an arrogant and largely one issue campaign in Florida. While only about 10% of voters said terrorism was the biggest issue on the agenda, Giuliani just couldn’t resist repeating 9/11 over and over again and running horrible fear mongering ads all …read more

Florida has spoken early and they’ve spoken loudly (well, for the votes that counted anyways). The good news-the most qualified republican nailed a critical victory; the bad news-he’s also the most boring republican left (hence why I’ve written about him the least).
Giuliani suffered a hilariously crushing loss in Rudy Country and after spending over $35 million is now out of the race. Mike Huckabee was in southern Missouri tonight and told his audience to encourage fellow supporters to vote on Super Tuesday and to keep those who aren’t indoors (ah, good ole’ voter intimidation suggestions from that funny Huckster).
Because Florida moved its primaries before Super Tuesday, …read more

Yesterday I didn’t just show up to “support” Rudy 9/11’s rally, but I also did so for Mike Huckabee (good friend of The Colbert Report). There was a John McCain rally in downtown Tampa in between but I was unable to make that one. Like Rudy, Huckabee also held his rally in an airplane hanger, except his was at Tampa International Airport. And again, there was no security before walking out on the tarmac. Aren’t these guys supposed to be tough on terror?
Anyways, since Mike Huckabee is a social conservative and former baptist minister, I felt I owned no better t-shirt to wear …read more

Rudy ‘9/11′ Giuliani is in the last throws of his presidential campaign so I figured I would go check him out at today’s Clearwater/St. Petersburg airport rally. It’s ironic that Rudy “tough on terror” Giuliani would hold this important rally in an airplane hanger where there was no absolutely zero security to enter. I thought my laptop bag might get checked but nope-all clear!
There was a surprise appearance by actor Jon Voight, who despite meeting Rudy for the first time last Tuesday is a very big supporter. Thank goodness Rudy has the Jon Voight endorsement since he did not land the endorsements of Florida republican senator Mel Martinez, Governor …read more

Here’s Florida Senators Bill Nelson (D) and Mel Martinez (R) standing side by side doing this odd political thing called bipartisanship. Their joint venture here is to encourage voter turnout from all Floriduh voters. Mel Martinez says “don’t be fooled that your vote won’t count.” Umm, actually…if you’re a registered democrat your vote truly will not count towards the democratic nominee.
The voices of Florida and Michigan democrats were stripped because their states chose to move up their primaries. So while you can vote for the democratic candidates and have your votes shown on television, they do not actually count. …read more

Tonight the republicans will hold their final debate before the Florida primaries on January 29th at Florida Atlantic University. It’s unclear whether FAU was bestowed this honor due to the crazy fact that they were the only Florida university to win a college football bowl game this year (they beat Memphis 44-27 in the New Orleans Bowl). FAU won a bowl game before my alma mater UCF! Are you kidding me?
Anyways, as a reward, those lucky FAU bastards get to hold the biggest republican debate in Florida, or “Rudy Country” as 9/11 Giuliani has called it. Rudy Country isn’t looking so good though as he is …read more

He did it! ‘Slick Willy’ slides by again! Sirened is projecting Bill Clinton as the next president of the United States based on delegates, polls, dirty campaign tactics, a lack of enthusiasm on the republican aisle and the fact that he will surely grab the helm from his figurehead wife that will be elected.
Many high profile democrats and others have been scratching their heads at the unprecedented campaign tactics of a former president. Sure they otherwise would be, but when you are campaigning to be president of the United States all morals must go out the window.
Anyways, congratulations to Bill …read more

If you’re a Florida voter, chances are you have something in common with this man, you’re old and confused. Coincidentally, this man is also on the republican ballot and you can vote for him. He holds some belief about going back to the olden’ days where people traded in gold rather than deflated US dollars.
Anyways, both the democrats and republicans are holding primaries in Florida on January 29th. But if that date doesn’t suit you, you should consider voting early, which is what I did.
As long as you’re in the county you are registered to vote in, you can swing by …read more
