The Florida Squeeze 
I would encourage a last minute endorsement of Daniella Levine Cava for Miami-Dade County Commissioner, District 8 (South Dade) who is challenging tea-bagger incumbent Lynda Bell who squeaked in by a couple hundred votes over Democrat Gene Flinn, Jr. back in ’10. It was considered a major upset as Flinn was the popular mayor of Palmetto Bay, while Bell had been voted out of office as Homestead mayor after a single term. She turned the November runoff into a partisan affair (non-partisan race) riding a wave of tea party support. Once on the Commission, Bell aligned herself with Natacha Milan Sejas, the acerbic and controversial commissioner later voted out in a recall election. The previous commissioner was the great Katy Sorensen, a champion of the environment for 16 years.

I will readily admit I know less about local politics in Miami-Dade than I do in any other major Florida County. I was comfortable with the landscape in every other major urban county for us to make endorsements with some advise from others (nothing stood out in Duval or Pinellas this time) but just don’t have the feel for Dade that I would like. I LOVED Katy Sorenson though. We should have looked more closely at this one. Feel free to guide us on Dade in the future…Thanks!

Good list. Thank you.

Seems squeamish to make no endorsement in the Democratic primary for governor. Major media throughout the state have done so, after all.

Beach Peanuts a liberal blog endorsed Crist for having the courage to take on Republicans and talked about Nan Rich’s alliance with the Republicans.
