Welcome to The Dean's List -- an Ed Dean-style look at who Florida's political achievers were (and weren't) in the last seven days. What you see here is strictly my opinion, not necessarily the editor's or the rest of the staff at Sunshine State News.
THOSE WHO MADE THE LIST
WMEL, the flagship station of the Ed Dean Radio Show -- top political radio talk-show host focused on Florida politics -- has moved frequencies from 1300AM to 1060 AM, boosting its range as it goes from 5, 000 watts to 50,000 watts.
John Harper, owner of Broadcast House LLC, and operator of WMEL purchased WIXC and earlier this month expanded the range of his station, including Dean’s show.
Central Florida might be as hot as Tatooine and as swampy as Dagobah but apparently the Force is strong at Walt Disney World. On Saturday, the Walt Disney Co. doubled down on its commitment to the "Star Wars" universe, announcing the largest themed-land expansion at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Disney World and the Disneyland park in California.
Trying to catch businessman Donald Trump in the polls, former Gov. Jeb Bush, R-Fla., is increasingly relying on U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, the longest serving Republican in the U.S. Senate, for help to rally the GOP faithful.
Michael Howson, former operations director of the Democratic Executive Committee of Broward County, has told party insiders he is days away from filing a race discrimination lawsuit against the DEC for firing him because he is black. News of Howson's situation late last week widened the rift between Broward's black community and the party. And now Howson's response -- his decision to fight back -- is spreading quickly through the county.
In the Cleveland debate, Donald Trump refused to commit to support whomever the Republican Party nominates in 2016.
The Republicans running for Marco Rubio’s seat should be prepared to spend another six months in political limbo as the presidential race eclipses them.
The GOP presidential contest is dominating the attention of activists and primary voters, even more so with Donald Trump commanding center stage. Add in Florida-based candidates like Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio, a surging Carly Fiorina, conservative favorites like Ted Cruz and Ben Carson, making it harder for the Senate candidates to get much notice.
Hillary Clinton was in Iowa Saturday and took the time to reflect on her most recent social media venture, Snapchat. Snapchat, a popular messaging tool, allows its users to "snap" photos and videos. After 24 hours, the snaps disappear forever.
