oh, goodie, another next of kin.

Not that my state has grounds to talk — assuming the primaries go as expected, our governor’s race this year is going to be a Mario Cuomo’s son vs. Richard Nixon’s grandson.

Wow! What’s Tricky Dick’s grandson like?

I think you mentioned the nepotism before heh. I don’t have a problem with it if it’s the right person for the job.

It’s a personal thing with me and the Meeks. Carrie Meek helped me out of two jams before, one with the IRS (they never sent my refund) and another with my mail which all of a sudden stopped coming. She resolved each problem within days. It’s one of those things, you need your Congresspeople and if they’re there for you, you become a fan.

My problem with Crist running as an Indie is I’m afraid he’ll take votes away from Kendrick and Rubio will end up winning because of it. I know Kendrick isn’t well known, but he is in S. Florida, that’s why he’s spending his money elsewhere.
