A reader asked me the other day who I was going to support in the mayor's race. My answer was, "Anyone who can beat Greco." My vote counted and I got what I wanted. Greco went down for the count.
Now we are looking at a runoff between Ferlita and Buckhorn on March 22nd.
We at the Oracle have been torn between these two, but when I read last week that Scott had endorsed Buckhorn my initial reaction was to reject Buckhorn. After reading more of the article I realized that it was former mayoral candidate Tom Scott who threw his support behind Buckhorn. My first thought was, I would not and could not support anyone endorsed by Mr. Picklehead, the jerk who bought Florida. Tom Scott is a different matter.
That realization made the decision on who to vote for so much easier. While the Tampa mayor's office is supposed to be non-partisan, we do not feel that it will be in the best interests of the city to have another Republican in any kind of public office. There are too many of them running amuk (Malay word meaning "mad with uncontrollable rage") as it is.This sentiment may be unfair to Ferlita, but the Republicans seem to have one major agenda, and that is to embarrass or destroy that - that - African who has the effrontery to sit at the front of the proverbial bus.
We have a clearer picture of Buckhorn's agenda and feel that he will be the best choice for mayor even though we acknowledge that the Democrats are not always shining stars in the political heavens. It is also hoped that when the Republican Convention invades our fair city that Mayor Buckhorn will offer them a cordial welcome without kissing their uh, derrières.
As it is, I have already increased my stock holdings in ChapStick in anticipation of increased sales of that lip balm product during the convention.
