Maybe we're psychic...or maybe we just know how to pick great candidates. Either way, we are just thrilled that ALL of our Next Generation Florida endorsed candidates have successfully gotten past the primaries...our candidates who had contested primaries won by 2 to 1 margins or greater!
Congratulations to Chris Dorworth, Eric Eisnaugle, Andy Gardiner, Miker Horner, Bryan Nelson, Scott Plakon, and Steve Precourt! We look forward to celebrating victory with you again on November 4th!

Dan Webster Endorses Eric Eisnaugle!
BREAKING NEWS...
State Senator (District 9) Dan Webster has just announced today that he is endorsing Eric Eisnaugle for the District 40 House seat currently held by Andy Gardiner. Andy Gardiner, who is term-limited out of the District 40 seat and is running for State Senate, has endorsed Eric's candidacy as well.
These endorsements are in addition to earlier statements of support that Eric received from State Representatives David Simmons, Chris Dorworth, Bryan Nelson, Steve Precourt, and Frank Attkisson. Eric's widespread support among respected House leaders further illustrates that he is the true conservative candidate in this race and a worthwhile successor to follow Andy Gardiner's fine example in representing the people of District 40.
We here at Next Generation Florida have admired Dan Webster and Andy Gardiner for their dedication to conservative principles while avoiding the acrimonious bitterness that can infect partisian politics, and we've always thought that Eric Eisnaugle was definitely "from the same mold." Congratulations Eric on these latest endorsements. We are proud of the dedicated and ethical campaign that you and your wife Carrie have run, and we look forward to seeing you represent Central Florida in Tallahassee next year.

Thanks for all the support!
All of our Next Generation Florida candidates have been receiving so much great support from the community. Thanks to everyone who has volunteered their time...successful campaigns require grassroots organization, and your help is just priceless. Thought it would be fun to share some photos from recent precinct walks.
The first picture is a great group who came out on a very rainy Saturday on August 16th to walk for Eric Eisnaugle. A lot of the volunteers came from the area Young Republican and College Republican groups. Despite the weather, we all had a lot of fun and were thrilled to see firsthand just how much support Eric has in the local community. Many of the voters whose doors we knocked on had already met Eric or Carrie!
The second picture is from a "Megawalk" that the Scott Plakon campaign organized earlier this month. Scott reports that he had over 60 volunteers who helped him knock on over 2,000 doors! Way to go, Team Plakon!

That's Hot.
Never thought I'd say this...but I have a new respect for Paris Hilton. Seriously, I'm not kidding.
After the McCain campaign used her image in a recent TV spot, the celebutante put together a response. Watch and enjoy...and let me know what you think...she may have something with her energy policy idea!
UPDATE: on Hannity & Colmes tonight, they quoted McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds as saying, "It sounds like Paris Hilton supports John McCain's all of the above approach to America's energy crisis - including both alternatives and drilling. In reality, Paris Hilton may have a more substantive energy policy than Barack Obama."

Endorsements keep piling up for Eisnaugle!
In the "Well, That Sounds Familiar" department, Eric Eisnaugle, candidate for Florida State Representative District 40, just received some more great endorsements.
Both the Florida and Orange County Professional Fire Fighters announced this week that they were joining the long list of prominent organizations to endorse Eric's candidacy.
In a letter to Eric formalizing the endorsement, Florida Professional Firefighters President Bob Carver wrote, "We believe that you will honorably serve the citizens of Florida, and the interests of the men and women employed in the Fire and Emergency Medical Services, who have made the protection of life and property their life's work."
“Eric is the best candidate to tackle the public safety issues facing Central Florida today. He has the right qualifications and is the type of advocate Orlando needs,” said Lieutenant Bob Saunders.
"These brave men and women risk their lives for us every day, and I am honored to have their support”, said Eric. "I look forward to working with our fire fighters and emergency medical services personnel to make sure they have all that they need as they continue to keep our homes and families safe.”
Next Generation Florida is proud to endorse Eric Eisnaugle and congratulates him on this latest endorsement. We believe it is a testament to his strong leadership and ethics that so many diverse organizations and other leaders are supporting him.
If you are in District 40, please remember to support Eric in the primary election on August 26th. In the meantime, the campaign is walking the precinct every Saturday and many weekday evenings as well. Please contact Eric at Eric@ElectEric.org or 407-694-3554 if you have any time. Thanks!

McCain = Cool and Hip
Hmmm, someone should tell Senator McCain that popped collars don't look good on anyone. Or maybe he's trying to be ironic? Either way, we appreciate the laugh. :)

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..."
