Democrat Hillary Clinton has officially conceded the presidential race to Donald Trump. "Never stop believing that fighting for what's right is worth it," she said. Clinton's loss was, of course, shock to many. Perhaps as catharsis — or gallows humor, really — a user on the social media sharing site reddit posted a photo on…

Pinellas County Commissioner Charlie Justice, a Democrat was up against some big money in 2012 when he ran for the seat (after having been a Democratic State Senator and State Representative) . He was also up against some big money in 2016 against Republican Mike Mikurak for the countywide seat the night the county went…
The Rolling Stones weighed in, too.
After those 2016 presidential election results, you’re gonna need a drink.
The race to represent Florida's 13th Congressional District has had many twists and turns in the past year and a half or so, and Donald Trump was certainly a huge factor. Trump bumped Marco Rubio from the GOP presidential primary back into running for his U.S. Senate seat. Rubio then bumped the likes of U.S. Rep.…
Tampa City Councilwoman Lisa Montelione will not be making her way to the Florida House of Representatives — not this year, anyway. Heading into Election Night, many Democrats had a sunny disposition — one that continued as early returns came in. Things were looking good for Montelione in her quest to unseat her opponent, Republican…
The commissioner-to-be celebrates at the Italian Club.
In a steamy room, with a shoulder-to-shoulder crowd affixed to the television bars, Kathy Castor was feeling good about her chances in the race to remain U.S. Representative for Florida’s 14th District. Addressing a group of supporters gathered at Seminole Heights restaurant Fodder & Shine, she thanked friends and family who’ve supported her not just…
Early on Election Night, LGBT voters were optimistic but nervous.
Many times, readers stumble upon reviews like this one because they're checking out something they missed (regret chasers). Michael M Sinclair did a good job behind the lens when Crowbar in Ybor City, Florida on November 5, 2016 (see the photos), but he also dropped off some thoughts on cuts from this Hiphopalooza 4 mixtape…

Hello. I'm back, just in time for the end of humanity's most destructive election cycle ever, and America's newest serial killer. The news! It never stops.

Spaced out, running on wine fumes and wondering whether this will be worth it. Of course it will be. It's Donald Trump's final Tampa rally, we think, before Tuesday's election. It's taking place at one of the smaller buildings at the Florida State Fairgrounds — on Guy Fawkes day, somewhat fittingly. We're not even supposed…

With four days to go in this exhausting election cycle that's making us drink copiously, the candidates and their best known backers are pummeling the Sunshine State in an effort to saturate its media markets, thereby, they hope, swinging the election in their respective party's direction. And we, the press, are happy to be subjected…
Raise your hand if you want the weekend off from the election.
At the risk of this sounding like a hot take, I have to say that Donald Trump might actually have a chance. Halloween may be over, but this election is a nightmare we can’t wake up from. The group For Florida’s Future has spent the last two weeks on the USF campus for its final…
Stevie Nicks has nothing to prove. The famed 68-year old free spirited chanteuse has been singing professionally for most of her life and has deservedly earned the distinction of being one of the most successful female artists of the rock n’ roll era.

As Election Day approaches, fans of expanding solar power are hoping to debunk myths about Florida's Amendment 1, a ballot proposal that would hold constraints on the industry in place. On Thursday, Mayor Rick Kriseman and leaders of several national organizations teamed up to speak out against Amendment 1 in downtown St. Petersburg. National leaders…

In all her glory, the domestic goddess said, “Oh, shit.”
The idea that the 2016 presidential election is about voting for the lesser of two evils is false. It’s been perpetuated by a few factors. Chief among them is the right’s decades-long crusade against Hillary Clinton; they saw her coming from that far away. Remember in the ’90s, when then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s mother called…
U.S. Congress, District 13 (Middle & Southern Pinellas) No contest better epitomizes the seismic shifts that have occurred in local and national politics than this one. Had there been no tea party wave, former Governor Charlie Crist very well might be a sitting U.S. Senator right now. Or governor. And maybe even still a Republican.…
Dear voters who like Trump because he’s “honest,” We have some bad news. You are probably not going to like or even believe this, but Trump may have told a fib or two in his time. Okay, hundreds, probably. I know, right? This whole time he’s been accusing everyone else of lying, but it’s really…
I love you guys, but really?
A smooth, attractive, likable candidate is a favorite in a primary for higher office… until the far right pushes him out, forcing him back to seek lower office. Sound familiar? It sure was fascinating to watch U.S. Senator from Florida Marco Rubio have done to him exactly what he and his tea-party backers did to…
Dear Jill Stein voter, I met you in July at the Democratic National Convention. You wore a Cinderella-esque ball gown. You told me you were dressing for the event you wish you were attending, i.e. Sen.

So many judges, so little time… welcome to the most mystifying section of the ballot. It’s not all that mystifying, really. According to the Florida Bar, state law requires FL Supreme Court justices and appeals court judges to be placed on the ballot in nonpartisan elections every six years, “so voters can determine whether the…
U.S. Congress, District 14 (Downtown Tampa, East Tampa, South Hillsborough) Democratic incumbent Kathy Castor faces a less-than-daunting challenge from newcomer Christine Quinn. It’s a wonder Republicans even bothered to run anyone in this easily Democratic seat, especially given Castor’s popularity and outspokenness on issues that matter to the district (even if it does have a…
