I really don't like the look of the stuff that forms on one of the stainless steel liners of my sinks every two days. I am always cleaning it away, no way that I drink that stuff.

I expect Graham to win the democratic primary for Governor, I will vote for one of her challengers in the primary, but will be fully behind her after that. All in all, we have an impressive field of democrats.

Actually, I am glad to see Putnam blowing up. He does not have as many skeletons that can be exploited as DeSantis.

But, I think they are backing a beatable candidate. Putnam would be tougher to beat for us.

I will vote for the former Miami Beach Mayor in the primary, but I expect Graham to win it. Once she wins, I am behind her 100%.

My sense is Putnam would be tougher to beat than DeSantis, so extreme republicans blowing up their race is good for us. I hope that we can trim off maybe 2-4% of disaffected republicans in November. Democrats are being quiet, but we are locked, I can see that everywhere.

But will happily support our nominee! We have good ones.

Why do you think Graham is likely to win?

I plan to vote for Levine, I like his message and he is working hard for it. I think that either him or Graham would be formidable in November.

to build the Tampa Bay Rays a new stadium.

I am not sure how much they can draw by moving to Tampa. It is definitely a better location for the team than St. Petersburg. And a new stadium that isn't Tropicana Field will definitely help. Finally, the Tampa Bay Lightening does get good attendance.

On the other hand, I have heard it suggested that maybe Tampa Bay gets its fill during Spring training. And the Marlins, playing in a much bigger metro area, is having attendance struggles. They didn't draw that well in their opening season at the new park, even though their franchise has two World Series championships.

They could wind up moving to Charlotte or Montreal if they don't get a new stadium. But it seems like a lot of cities and states are finally reaching the point where they are ready to stop shelling out the money to built them for their sports teams.

they would vote against the candidate trump endorsed

Trump voters are identifying themselves with Trump instead of the Republican party. We've been making that connection for a while. Conservatives stopped having values or an ideology a long time ago. That's why the Russia probe doesn't matter to them. It's not just Trump's party, it's THE Trump Party.

arrivals/new residents post Hurricane Maria?

Have they gone to sleep down there?

Adam Putnam, for all his love affair with the NRA, is well known for bring someone who at least tries to be ethical. He went to bat for his constituents getting disability benefits when all the local GOP cranks were calling him weak and a few not very nice words (that would offend the LGBT very much.) He will make a hard bad guy to show, where desantis is selling himself as trummp's handpicked governor, one that will gladly open up florida to Louisiana style oil rigs.

And going against Trump is a death knell. Only post-9/11 Bush had a higher approval rating among Republicans at this point in his presidency.

Touts his endorsement by "the big man himself", complete with pics of him and Trump together.

Makes me want to puke when I see it.

The weather is great. The miles and miles of coast line are great. The politics effing suck. It's why our schools suck and our economy is based on crap service industry jobs that are extremely sensitive to downturns in the economy.

It will be worse than the space alien we have now. Local Dems are working hard we must win this one. 20 yrs of Republican rule coming to an end in November!
