Mitch Perry Report 9.27.11

If the Tampa Bay Rays can win their last two games (not a gimme by any stretch against the New York Yankees), worst case scenario means they would host a special playoff game in St. Pete on Thursday. But they must sweep the Yankees - still a tough bet.

Pretty darned exciting. A little less exciting meeting takes place this morning on the USF campus, where Hillsborough County state legislators will discuss bills they intend to introduce in Tallahassee regarding Tampa/Hilllsborough later this year.

Although everyone's down on Rick Perry, what's Mitt Romney's excuse for continuing to remain behind Perry in national polls?

We bumped into former St. Pete Mayor Rick Baker the other day- even though he backed Romney in '08, he's keeping his options open this time around.
