A funny thing happened on the way to the Mitt Romney coronation last night - he was severely derailed in three states, getting absolutely annihilated by Rick Santorum in Missouri, and even falling in his supposed safe state of Colorado.
Speaking of Republican elections, although only Jim Norman and his attorney are calling his ethics commission hearing last Friday a success, the state Senator is still the odds-on favorite to win re-election to his seat this fall. But now he has a Republican challenger who says he will seriously make a run at the former Hillsborough County Commissioner.
And speaking of former County Commissioners, Ronda Storms is all over the news these days, including an appearance on Fox News yesterday touting her bill that would prevent those on food stamps in Florida from buying junk food.
Current Hillsborough Commissioners were among those discussing why the light rail measure went down to defeat in 2010, leading to discussions about pushing the Legislature to allow cities, and not just counties, to hold tax referendums.
