In 2010, in a major political upset, Marco Rubio drove then-Gov. Charlie Crist out of the Republican Party and beat him in the U.S. Senate race by pointing out his support of President Barack Obamas federal stimulus. With Crist now a Democrat running against Gov. Rick Scott, the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) picked up the same attack on Monday.

Trey Radel to Resign from U.S. House of Representatives
Submitted by Anonymous on January 27, 2014 - 8:50am
U.S. Rep Trey Radel, R-Fla., will be resigning Monday morning, according to his chief of staff.
Radel has been at the center of controversy over the last few months after he was arrested for misdemeanor cocaine possession in October. Instead of resigning, Radel said he would take a leave of absence from the House of Representatives.
Many in Radel's own party, however, called for his resignation from his position.
A special election will be held to replace Radel, as Gov. Rick Scott cannot appoint officials to the U.S. House.

The document that the Constitutional Convention sent forth from Philadelphia for ratification in 1787 was just 4,543 words long, but this was 17 too many. America would be a sweeter place if the Framers had not included this laconic provision pertaining to the president: "He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union."

Unaccountable Hillary Clinton
January 24, 2014 - 6:00pm
CNN anchor Jake Tapper blandly admitted the obvious in a radio interview with conservative host Hugh Hewitt. The same reporters that insist their former Republican Party favorite Chris Christie is ruined for 2016 by traffic jams on a bridge are letting Hillary Clinton skate for embassy-security neglect that led to four dead government employees at Benghazi.
