April 29, 2010 - 6:00pm
Where was Jay Burmer when Charlie Crist needed him?
By all accounts, the governor's announcement that he was running for U.S. Senate as an independent lacked the energy and organization that fueled Crist's campaign events in the past.
Politico.com said the lightly attended St. Petersburg rally "had the feel of the haphazard move it was."

May 1, 2010 - 6:00pm
WASHINGTON -- When Bill Clinton said in 1992 that he wanted to make abortion safe, legal and rare, many Americans applauded. Even if one dismisses this as rhetoric, it is a sentiment shared by the large middle and provides nearly everyone a thread of hope.

Major demonstrations are to be held in 70 cities on May 1 to protest the new Arizona law to cope with an army of half a million illegal aliens now living there.

House Backs Mandatory Ultrasounds
April 29, 2010 - 6:00pm
On the last day of session, the House tackled a health-care measure passed by the Senate which included an amendment requiring that most pregnant women considering an abortion have an ultrasound in the first trimester. The House passed the amendment 72-46, almost mirroring party lines.
Both pro-life and pro-choice advocates maintain that ultrasounds are one of the chief reasons that abortions are on the decline in Florida, with 2009 seeing the lowest number of abortions since 1997.
