When all is said and done, like it or not, that is the ultimate question the new FDP chair is going to be asked by Democrats in this state.

Now that Amendment 2 on medical pot has been approved by Florida voters, the hard work of creating a fair but flexible regulatory scheme to oversee the implementation is critically important.

Looking back on 2016, a turbulent year for sure in politics, we often saw the biggest rivalries and the loudest pundits take center stage.

Why so much fright about Dwight? This morning I had an email with a column from The Florida Squeeze about the Florida Democratic Party chair's race. This article was particularly interesting because it focused on me just as much as it focused on the candidates and the race for chair. It also mainly trashed Dwight Bullard, no other candidate.

As everyone knows, the fiasco that took place in Miami-Dade County on Dec. 20 has given us Stephen Bittel as Miami-Dade's committeeman. Not fairly, mind you. Not as the will of the people, mind you.

Running for office statewide in Florida is a daunting task.  The state is 361 miles wide and 447 miles long and is in two time zones.  Florida has 67 counties, 282 cities, 119 towns and 19 villages.  In short, Florida is big and campaigning in the entire state is hard work.

There are few Jewish journalists I like and respect as much as Samuel Freedman,‭ ‬a distinguished‭ ‬professor at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and Pulitzer-prize nominee,‭ ‬which is why if he criticizes me I take it seriously.

Let's face it. There is a certain faction of the Jewish community that will never, ever, ever, ever, ever accept Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison as Democratic National Committee Chair, no matter what he does, or how he does it.
