Among the more interesting pieces we got in the past week:
- Hillsborough County Commission candidate Brad Swanson asked Republican voters: Let me know if you think I went too far in my attacks on gays, lesbians and opponent Rose Ferlita. He included a tear-off postcard to get his answer.
- Florida Senate candidate Frank Farkas tells voters that "Frankly, Farkas is working hard for us." Strangely, the recap of his efforts on voters' behalf did not include a picture of himself getting off the plane in Toronto on the gambling industry junket.
Several brochures for Farkas' opponent, Kim Berfield, that confirm that she does, indeed, have the most beautiful blonde tresses in the race.
