Local delegates Alison Bereke Marano and Shannon Love said the Republican Party is doing a great service to Obama campaign by being ignorant.
Florida delegates attending the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., talked politics with South Carolina Patch Political Editor Shawn Drury on Monday. Last week, Ann Romney and Condoleezza Rice made an appeal to women voters during last week's Republican National Convention in Tampa. Alison Bereke Morano and Shannon Love talked about what President Barack Obama needs to do to reach out to women voters and to win their votes. "The Republicans are doing a great service by being so ignorant," Morano said. "And by showing their disregard for women and what they think we are actually about." Morano is the vice-chair of the Florida Democratic Party and lives in Pasco County. Love said that she didn't feel the gap in female voters …

With their Chicago-style pizza the Clearwater-Largo Road restaurant was the studio for a Chicago TV station recently.
For about 22 years Chicago natives Joanne and David Barnes have served Chicago-style pizza and other homemade Italian food to Largo area customers. Recently the local restaurant was transformed into a news studio for ABC Channel 7 news in Chicago for a news segment on Chicago natives now living in Florida. The news station was in the Tampa Bay area for the Republican National Convention. "It was kind of interesting. It was all very different. They had cameras everywhere in the restaurant," Joanne Barnes. "It was kind of neat to share our political views with them and they loved our food." As faithful Chicago sports fans, Joanne and David, go to Liberty Lanes to watch the Chicago Bears. The Chicago TV station found the Untouchables over …

Fed up with problems from RNC-provided buses, the Republican Party of Florida hired a charter bus company to transport its delegates.
The Republican Party of Florida is hoping delegates will have a smoother ride for the rest of the convention, now that the organization has chartered a bus company to provide transportation. On Tuesday, delegates were late to the opening day of the Republican National Convention because RNC-contracted buses were not sent to pick them up. Then the delegates were stuck on buses for hours Tuesday after the convention ended for the evening. "It was an absolute mess up," said Florida delegate Pat Fahey of Daytona Beach. Fahey did not arrive back to Palm Harbor's Innisbrook Resort & Golf Club until after 3 a.m. Wednesday. "Nobody knew where the buses were located when we came out of the convention. Everybody was sending us to a different place. …

They’ll have to make a 15-minute hike to the convention tomorrow.

Delegates were ready to go today at Palm Harbor’s Innisbrook Resort, but the buses didn’t arrive to take them into Tampa.
Florida’s Republicans are already in trouble with their party for holding the primary earlier than desired. They paid the price in the number of delegates allowed at this year's Republican National Convention. They may have also helped add fuel to a fire to enhance the penalties for states that host early primaries. Now it looks like might be paying more. According to the Tampa Bay Times, the buses meant to pick up the Florida delegation at Palm Harbor’s Innisbrook Resort today at noon never arrived to bring them into downtown. “The RNC forgot to send them,” the Times story said. "Well, that sucks," the Times reported Hillsborough County GOP chair Art Wood as saying. "I guess it won't be the first glitch." Do you agree with Wood? Was it a …
