From Weapons of Mass Discussion:
I'll take every McCain vote in Florida that I can get, but this guy has a real problem. Meet John Labriola, a Broward County Democratic Party central committee member, and read about his crazy ideas in this Sun-Sentinel piece:
A Democratic precinct committeeman from Lauderhill plans to ask the county party tonight to support dumping House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.
John Labriola's complaint: despite the promises that got them elected, they've done nothing to end the war in Iraq, and have rolled over for President Bush in other ways.
All of this is to describe the environment in which a new candidate that we'll be following here on WMD is operating.
Now meet Dr. Marion Thorpe. Thorpe is running in Florida's 23rd District for the United States House of Representatives. This is Alcee Hastings' seat and the district went for Kerry over Bush to the score of 75% to 25% and it is a heavily Democratic district in terms of registered voters to the tune of 4-to-1.
But these are the types of races that we like to spend a little time on because few others will. The 527 media sure won't devote any resources to describing what a good candidate Dr. Thorpe is, so it's up to us. Check him out and learn more about his positions by clicking here.
About Me
- Raymond Smalley
- Technology consumes our everyday. Instant and text messages allow constant contact. Social networking expands our communities. Blogs model our opinions. The internet provides information. While the aforesaid are convenient, they are also problematic. They are independent. They are unpredictable. In politics, I transformed technology. For you, I will as well. I have worked and consulted in a presidential campaign, two gubernatorial campaigns, several congressional and statewide campaigns. Prior to this, I was a reporter. I understand new media. I understand technology. I am aggressive, comprehensive, and persistent. I can improve your company. Blogs, cellular technology, fundraising tools, instant messaging, text messaging, and social networking. We will channel them. You may not embrace technology. You may not respect technology. However, America’s alteration is permanent. Customer communication and interaction are vital. I anticipate your response.
