I'm always interested in metaphors or pop culture references used as framing devices for political campaigns. Recently I've been thinking about what would be the best way for Gov. Crist to package himself in his race for the US Senate, especially now that he has started his move to run as an independent.

I sent an op-ed piece to my local paper here in Tallahassee, but I haven't heard back from them, which usually means they're not going to print it. They recently published their own editorial on the same subject, so I don't blame them for opting out.

But, since mine is a little more pointed then theirs, I would like to post it here and over at FlaPolitics.com.

Why let only Tea Partiers have all the fun?

[While collecting the links for this piece I found out that Route66 has previously posted on this based on a quick piece I did in FlaPolitics.com right after attending the hearing. Since this piece is a call to action and not meant just to be informative, I hope you will tolerate the repetition]

I don't usually read David Brooks' columns in the NY Times, but the title of a recent one, What Independents Want, caught my eye because that's something I've been writing about.

The other night I went to hear State Senator Dan Gelber, candidate for the Democratic nomination for Attorney General here in Florida. I'd heard his stump speech before, so the content was a bit boring, but I liked the way he presented himself.

He acted like a front runner and had a coherent, viable approach to marketing himself over the next year. After thinking about it, I've decided to back Sen. Gelber in the primary.

The first thing to remember is that anything that happens this far out is pretty meaningless and is NOT a trend.

Remember how everyone said the Democrats were doomed in Florida after the presidential primary debacle of 2008?

So much for Conventional Wisdom.

But there are some nuts and bolts type issues that should get looked at.

In a recent post discussing the Republican side of Florida's 2010 US Senate race Kos made the comment that "the other side is weak" and implied that Democratic Representative Kendrick Meek could not even defeat Marco Rubio in a general election.

This is ridiculous and needs some serious correcting.

A while back I wrote a piece on how Democrats in Florida running for statewide office need to more effectively market themselves. Let's have some fun with this concept to get a better idea of how it might work.

My wife and I recently went to see the movie "Julie/Julia". It's the story of how a feminine icon inspires and empowers a young admirer thru the example of her life's accomplishments.

No, I'm not making a joke or being sarcastic. This is real. Let me explain.

I don’t believe it. Scott Maddox, of all people, is thinking about running for Commissioner of Agriculture here in Florida!

What do we have to do to kill this political hack?

The Orlando Sentinel website had a piece on a poll taken about the Republican candidates for Florida's Commissioner of Agriculture.

A piece by Paul Flemming in my Tallahassee newspaper caught my eye this morning.
