Due Time We Change a Little Something
You can vote early starting today. These are my picks regarding the Pasco County primary. For all two of you.
Jim Davis - Governor
Obviously. Jim is a proven leader with strong ties to Florida and experience to improve health care, education and protect our environment.
Rick Penberthy - US Congress District 5
Both Rick and his challengers have similar views; however, I like Rick's experience as a teacher and his military background is impressive. He also picked a heck of a campaign song. (Come on, you've heard worse.) He's got what it takes to boot Brown-Waite out of office.
Walter "Skip" Campbell - Attorney General
Senator Campbell has done a great deal for Florida residents and I have no doubt that he will continue to fight for us in the AG's office.
Frank Parker - School Board District 5
*Sigh* Both candidates are Republican. How can they claim frustration with FCAT when their allegiance to the right helped FCAT grow into the monster it has become? Still, Parker seems more moderate so he gets my vote.
Patricia (Pat) Mulieri - County Commissioner District 2
A Republican who has done a great deal for this area, who knew? Mulieri deserves re-election.
Pat Siracusa - Circuit Judge, 6th Circuit, Group 32
This is the only candidate with a website and clearly articulated viewpoints. How can I choose anyone else?
Jack Day - Circuit Judge, 6th Circuit, Group 45
Another example of a candidate who took the time to create a site to inform voters. He's getting my vote, too.
Anne Wansboro - County Judge, Group 6
She's a former public defender who calls this the "people's court." 'Nuff said.
Candy VanDercar - County Judge, Group 7
I like this lady - redefining herself at age 57. She's got a lifetime of experience that will serve whoever appears before her bench.
Allen Altman - School Board, District 1
He has years of experience in this area and after visiting his site, I consider his candidacy most impressive.
Cathi Martin - School Board, District 3
With so many school board members leaving their posts, I agree that Cathi Martin's experience is needed. Teachers who work for Pasco County schools get paid more and seem more satisfied with their posts than teachers in Hillsborough or Pinellas. The board is doing something right and Martin is a part of it.
For what it's worth, those are my picks, peeps. Vote early!

Wow, times have changed. When I worked in Pasco (loved it) we were the lowest paid for brand new teachers than the other two local counties. That's good news.
You really are WAY into politics aren't you! Good for you. Someone ought to be. Just not me.
I look forward to your comments after the primaries. Can hardly wait.
Vandercar is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Rediscover herself. What a joke. She ran against Ken Littlefield a few years ago and went totally negative. Vandercar got crushed in the election. She's represented mostly criminals during her career. Scarry candidate. Though he's the youngest candidate in the same race, I like that Salzano guy.
I'm with the previous poster. Vandercar is way out there. Life experience? She was a shrink for children! How does that prepare someone to preside over court? There is no couch in the middle of the court room for you to be psychoanalyzed by a judge! Not to mention she dealt with kids. Wanting to be a judge because your private practice isn't going so well doesn't make the cut. Though I'm not crazy about her other two opponents, something I got in the mail said that Senator Mike Fasano was endorsing him. That's good enough for me. Make that two votes for Salzano.
All are good picks in my book, except for School Board, District 1. In that race you have to go for Willie Broner. He actually has 25 or 30 years as an educator in Pasco schools. Shouldn't we try to put some folks with classroom experience in charge of the schools?
Besides, he is the only Democratic Candidate in the race.
