Election 2014: Ladra predicts picks already made via ABs

While people are just getting up to go vote today in one congressional and several county, judicial and state races, it looks like the winners have already been chosen.

Win or lose: Carlos Curbelo’s hidden biz will haunt him

Win or lose: Carlos Curbelo’s hidden biz will haunt him

If it doesn’t cost him this primary today, the fact that Miami-Dade School Board Member Carlos “Crybaby” Curbelo is hiding his client list under his wife’s skirt will cost him the general election in November. And it should. It’s sort of scary to think of sending someone to Washington who might be using his elected […]

10 reasons to vote for Ed MacDougall for Congress

This congressional primary is one of the most important votes that Republicans in District 26 can make. Because this November is the best chance the GOP has to topple Democrat U.S. Rep.

Dems, opponents push back on the Mitt and Carlos show

Former Republican Party Presidential nominee Mitt Romney will likely be photographed later today sipping cafe cubano in front of scores of rolling TV cameras and news people to prove that (1) he loves us Latins after all, even though we pretty much cost him the 2012 election and (2) Miami-Dade School Board Carlos Curbelo is […]

Latin love grows for gringo in FL26, Ed MacDougall

Who would have thunk it? Three Cuban American women on Wednesday held a fundraiser for the only non-Cuban candidate in the congressional Republican primary for District 26. Because to them, and to a number of other Latino voters, Cutler Bay Mayor Ed “Big Mac Daddy” MacDougall is just the best man for the job. The […]

Carlos Curbelo ups primary heat, mainly vs Ed MacDougall

Up until recently, it seemed that Miami-Dade School Board Member Carlos Curbelo was campaigning just against Congressman Joe Garcia, who he hopes to face in November.
