Melba has run a great campaign but she doesn’t have the name recognition. Rod has the name recognition but not the right last name. Mansfield is not going to survive. Only race I’m wondering about is Aponte v Tunis.
ReplyDeleteEarly returns....and it's MELBA MELBA MELBA
ReplyDeleteWorkers doing exit polls... people shouting MELBA and BLM!
In Hialeah I saw an impromptu rally with people chanting MELBA AMIGA! MIAMI CONTIGA!
In Aventura I saw two old Jewish ladies wearing masks holding Melba signs.
It's a groundswell. It may not be close. Time for a change.
Melba loves Miami. Miami loves Melba.
ReplyDeleteRump,
ReplyDeleteNo comment on The President pardoning Susan B. Anthony
that shows he cares about Criminal justice
I am sure she is thrilled- meanwhile thousands of low level trafficker mules sit rotting in federal prisons.
ReplyDeleteMiami Loves Melba
ReplyDeleteMelba loves Miami
OH KATHY CAN'T YOU SEE??
Miami Loves Melba Melba loves Miami
She will be state attorney on January 3....cha cha cha.
Honest to goodness
ReplyDeleteThe bars weren't open this morning
They must have been voting for new judges or something
Mrs. Trump, Do you have a quarter?
No she said, "I couldn't spare it"
Honest to goodness, the tears have been falling
All over this country's face
It was better before, before they voted for What's-His-Name
This was supposed to be the new world

I went to Vote and somebody had something from Aponte and handed it to me and I started laughing and they asked why and I said "if you saw what I saw her say you would laugh too" I said it in spanish and the woman responded "ay dios mio" I've heard people say that all day long.
ReplyDeleteI guess no election night party at the REN (an election venue) because 1- no Ren no more and 2- no parties no more.
ReplyDeleteAdebayo
ReplyDeleteVereen
Martinez-Scanziani
Ruiz
Aponte
Mansfield
Bandin
Melba by less than a point.
All we are saying
ReplyDeleteIs give Aponte a chance.
ALL we are saying
Is give Rosy a chance.
ReplyDeleteI vote Sean Spector as the cutest candidate
Enough people will vote against KFR.... some because they know her... others because they believe the establishment is corrupt....
ReplyDeleteBye dava. Won't miss you.
ReplyDeleteLessons:
ReplyDelete1) Don't Fuck with Joe Klock
2) Don't be a bully
Melba Toast
ReplyDeleteBullies gots to go!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteRebull and Tunis losing is a great thing

ReplyDeleteTHE CAPTAIN REPORTS:
PROPS TO 10:41 am
They hit seven of eight races with only Rebull looking like he will be defeated. Please identify yourself so we can send you your first place prize.
Thank you.
Captain Out .....
Cap, can Rebull or Tunis go senior and still sit?
ReplyDeleteSenior is only for the retired not the defeated.
ReplyDeleteNo A judge has to retire to sit senior status. Losing an election means in January they are out.
ReplyDeleteBTW I am wondering if 7:04's comment was about a female candidate if I would have received emails and comments criticizing my decision to allow a comment about a female's appearance. Because it was about a male...crickets. Silence.
ReplyDelete95% of the vote counted. There are thousands of Vote By Mail ballots currently being counter. And 40 precincts left to count out of 864. I don't believe those outstanding numbers will be enough to shift any of the three 51% - 49% elections.
It appears that three Incumbent judges are headed to defeat including:
Judge Rebull, Judge Tuns, and Judge Mansfield.
CAPTAIN OUT .......
ReplyDeleteBROWARD COUNTY IS THE REAL STORY TONIGHT.
After nearly 44 years in office Mike Satz will be out in January. His successor is not going to look anything like Satz. Harold Fernandez Pryor is not the automatic winner. He beat out seven other Dems running. He was an Assistant State Attorney in Broward from 2014-2017.
Now he faces one Republican candidate (Gregg Rossman) and one Independent candidate (Sheila Alu) in November. But with Broward being the largest Dem county in the State, Fernandez Pryor will certainly be the favorite. He has only been a lawyer for seven years. He is a black male. He beat the candidate supported by Satz, Sarahnell Murphy, whom we posted about yesterday.
Now Tunis can openly work as an employee of The Florida Bar which she has covertly been since she and I met. Jack Thompson, once and future attorney
ReplyDeleteDear Tuesday, August 18, 2020 4:51:00 PM,
ReplyDeleteThank you.
John Doe
Considering that voter turnout was a mere 28.23% (WTF? we are in deep caca on so many levels), I agree that the results were beyond disappointing. It's unbelievable that three incumbents lost their seats; good riddance to one of them (Tunis and Mansfield were really good judges.)
ReplyDeleteThe remaining races went south fast and stayed there. Wholeheartedly agree that the bench is greatly diminished, but it def wasn't at its apex on Monday.
Congrats to Kathy and all the other winners.
ReplyDeleteGood riddance to Tunis & Rebull. Karma sucks!
Sorry that Mansfield didn't pull it off. He has always been very fair.
Disappointed that Vereen and Adedayo didn't make it.
I see you made an exception for Thompson after you banned him from the blog. All good things must come an end I suppose.
ReplyDeleteMelba had no chance. Her campaign platform was little more than accusing KFR of not charging officers for bad shootings. She got her 15 minutes of fame mostly because of the BLM. The poll results her campaign posted repeatedly calling the race a deadlock at 39% was a joke as were most of her Facebook posts.
