Busted!
Mama always said, if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything...
...so we won't say anything about Joe Mantilla here, and just link to this from the Orlando Sentinel.
Friends, the moral of the story here is that the Florida Statutes require candidate endorsements to be in writing for a reason.
Next Generation Florida would like to congratulate Eric Eisnaugle on the principled and ethical campaign he has run. Of course, when you rack up as many endorsements as Eric has, you never have to make them up!

NY Times Magazine article about Gov. Crist
NY Times Magazine has given Charlie Crist the GQ treatment (seriously, check out the picture), and runs through a series of somewhat-humorous Q-and-As.
Check it out here.
Some highlights:
Where were you during the Florida recount of 2000? I was on the ballot in 2000. I ran for education commissioner that year. And won. No recount!
The novelist Carl Hiaasen has publicly asked that you excuse yourself from the vice-presidential sweepstakes, since you have been governor for only 17 months and haven’t accomplished much, in his estimation. I appreciate his counsel.
If you became vice president, he wrote in The Miami Herald, you would be better remembered for your tan than for your leadership. I hear that too. And that’s also very flattering.
I trust you use self-tanning lotion and stay out of the sun. No. It’s the sun. And it’s my heritage. I’m of Greek descent.

Crazy Dictator Obama Fan Club
Well, looks like Obama now has the trifecta of crazy dictator endorsements...
Kim Jong Il, the nutty tyrant of North Korea perhaps most fondly remembered for his role as a singing puppet in that movie by the South Park guys, has apparently allowed his government to make an official statement announcing a preference for Obama over McCain.
This announcement follows just weeks after Castro and Quaddafi also expressed their support for the junior senator from Illinois.
File this one under "Things that make you go hmmm..."

Great Endorsement for Scott Plakon
Scott Plakon, who is running for the District 37 State House seat, has been endorsed by the National Federation of Independent Business. (View the press release here).
The NFIB is the nation's leading small-business advocacy association. Founded in 1943, the NFIB gives small and independent business owners a voice in shaping the public policy issues that affect their businesses. This is an endorsement that is particularly important to Scott because he has been a small business owner for most of his career and has seen firsthand many of the opportunities and challenges that small business owners face on a daily basis.
As we approach the August 26th Republican Primary, the Plakon team is refocusing their fundraising efforts now that Scott has a Republican opponent. Please help if you can - donations in any amount will be greatly appreciated (maximum allowed by Florida law is $500 per person or business entity). To contribute, please go to www.scottplakon.com/contribute or call 407-792-8190.
Next Generation Florida is proud to endorse Scott Plakon for the District 37 seat and congratulates him on this excellent endorsement.
