Freshman Miami Congressman Carlos “Cry Baby” Curbelo is on a roll in Washington, D.C. The former Miami-Dade School Board member whose rise to Capitol Hill was planned and developed years ago by and with his mentors, Lincoln and Mario Diaz-Balart, has done a rather good job of making himself relevant in the short time he’s […]
Our returned weekly feature is heavy today with political photos from the field on the Super Bowl for politicians and political beings alike: Election Day. Blessed with some beautiful weather, thousands of people voted on Tuesday, adding to absentee ballots and early voters that cast a total of 529,867 ballots — which is a whopping […]
Our only relief is that he’ll be a one-term congressman. Carlos “Crubaby” Curbelo‘s predictable defeat of Congressman Joe Garcia Tuesday night in one of the ugliest and most expensive campaigns in Florida history is not the huge accomplishment that he’s going to boast it is. After all, the numbers were there for whoever went against […]
Miami-Dade School Board Member Carlos Curbelo seems to have an excuse for everything. He hides his lobbying firm under his wife’s name, giving him a legal (if illegitimate) out from having to disclose his client list, and he whines about how he had to transfer his company to Cecilia Curbelo after he went to work […]
Legendary crooner Pat Boone, who is now an advocate for the senior citizen agenda, has sent Congressional candidate Carlos “Crybaby” Curbelo a Love Letter in the Sound, of sorts. Yes, all-American Pat Freaking Boone is getting involved in this heated race. Boone on Thursday recorded a message to voters on behalf of Curbelo’s campaign to […]

Democrat Congressman Joe Garcia is going to have to do a lot better than photo ops with Charlie Crist and a questionable endorsement from a Cuban dissident who may or may not have been taken advantage of (more on that later) if he wants to be something other than a one-term legislator. As much as […]
A little more than a year ago, when Doral Mayor Luigi Boria was facing a media storm about his relationship with Juan Carlos Tovar — a wealthy developer whose uncle is vice president or something of the national bank in Venezuela and who was arrested for filing a false police report — a reporter spoke […]
It may be just one. But it’s a doozy. Congressional candidate Carlos “Crybaby” Curbelo — the Miami-Dade School Board member and GOP establishment favorite who won the August primary — had to admit finally to the identity of one of his clients. It’s not that he wanted to, mind you. Or even that he felt […]
When Daniella Levine Cava was running for a county commission seat, she got a little help and moral support from her friendly neighborhood Democrat Congressman, Joe Garcia. Now she wants to return the favor. Levine Cava, whose grassroots campaign beat Miami-Dade Commisioner Lynda Bell Aug. 26, appealed to her supporters Wednesday in a last call for […]
