High partisan stakes in Bogdanoff-Sachs Senate race
by George Bennett | May 21st, 2012
Bogdanoff
Florida Democratic Party Chairman Rod Smith and incoming Senate Democratic Leader Chris Smith plan to attend Sachs’ campaign kickoff event tonight at the South County Civic Center west of Delray Beach.
Florida Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater, one of the most popular Republicans in the state, announced his endorsement for Bogdanoff today.
Atwater used to represent a coastal Palm Beach-Broward Senate district that leaned Republican. But the new district where Bogdanoff and Sachs are running has a Democratic advantage.
Democrats have successfully cleared the field for Sachs, with former Rep. Kevin Rader dropping a Sachs primary challenge and running in another district instead. Bogdanoff, meanwhile, faces a challenge from the right by Mike Lameyer in the GOP primary.

finally we got ourselves a candidate to beat Ellyn- this’ll be the campaign of the year

Why is it high partisan? Maria is a Republican and Bogdanoff is going to pretend to be a Democrat like she did when she first ran.
Get outta here.

Ellyn Bogdanoff wins this race by no less than 12 points.

It hasn’t been reported but Sachs lost just about every single person she lied to in order to get their name on her one fundraising invitation ?

Bogdanoff loses by 12 points.

Ellyn Bogdanoff is a Rick Scott rubber stamp.
Anyone who votes for her needs to understand this.
She is NOT A MODERATE.
She is a party line Republican.
And she NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

It is notable that Sachs and not Bogdonoff attended the Broward League of Cities Dinner Friday night.

Sachs wins by 8-10 points. It is a Democratic seat! look at the numbers. The district is what it is. It’s like saying Steve Abrams will loose to a Democrat, it wont happen because it’s a republican district. Sachs is only vaulnerable in a democratic primary and now that is gone, Sachs is a lock & actualy a good candidate to beat a republican. It’s funy how Ellyn realeases her own poll having her up by 7. If Ellyn was sharp she would have said 1 or 2, 7 was overreaching just a bit

Atwater won the District by 14 or 15 points and Adam Putnam for the love of god won it as well. Yep, it’s a Democratic seat.

Who is going to help Maria out when she asked a question above middle school level ?

“Scott” is just another Republican who likes to belittle women.
When will Republicans outgrow 3rd grade?
Maria Sachs is going to be a GREAT senator.

Atwater & Putnam won Palm Beach County in 2010 which was the worst performance democratic year on record not to be repeted or even should be compared to a presidential turnout in 2012. Anyone with political sense knows this. The district will go D across the board. Show me a presidential turnout year that a republican won? You can’t. If Maria runs good election, she will win. It is hers to loose.

Jim Davis beat Crist in this seat!! LOL. It’s a suckers bet to think Bogdanoff can win.

Just like when Obama ran in 08 and state house and senate R’s in south Florida cruised to 30 point wins in 2-5 point seats. Indy’s swing this particular seat, not liberals out west Richard.

Maria may win but her and Bogdanoff may get busted in the process. They all come from the same place…and Joey from Blossom!

I am happy to see that the voters in District 34 have an independent minded conservative Republican, Mike Lameyer to run against State Senator Bogdanoff. If you want someone to stand against the FCAT, creeping Islam in our schools and judicial system, an even more business friendly climate with more manufacturing down here in FL, and no more taxpayer money for illegal undocumented aliens, then Mike Lameyer is the one you should support.

Nevin,
Maria Sachs is going to defeat whatever corrupt sock puppet you pathetic Republicans throw into the ring.

My daughter became a foster to “adoptable” dogs who were untrained, and she began to love pits through this experience. The last one she had was found wandering the streets. She claimed that he was very well behaved. She has a retriever mix and they got along well. Then a family took him in, but returned him three days later, saying that he lunged at one of them while eating dinner. She eagerly took him back, ate fries and a hamburger in front of him, and he sat down at her feet. But then she had to move and though she rented a pet friendly place, the landlord only allowed one dog. So mom and dad to the rescue. She called crying that he was the best dog ever, and if he was returned to the shelter he would be put down. Could we please take him in? We did, and for the first week, we had the pit version of Marley. He was horrible! But, not to us. He played rough, and we acquired numerous black and blue marks, mostly from his jumping on our laps! He constantly licked and chewed, but with patience and training, we decided to keep him. He is awesome. So smart. He listens, pays attention, occasionally jumps on a lap, sometimes grabs cushions off the sofa, rips stuffed animals and dog toys to pieces, but is amazing. He loves to meet new people and other dogs. And has no aggressive behavior at all, and he is nearly two years old. By the way we only have him six months. That’s how easy he was to train without a professional dog trainer. Love your dog, teach him well, and you’ll have a wonderful pet. (by the way, this dog has no, and I mean no food aggression at all!)

In 1989, Steve Earle and the MONTEREY HISTORIC RACES honored Aston Martin. They had a display pit recreated exactly like 1959 LeMans along with all the cars and people. I vividly remember that weekend as one of the best HISTORIC race weekends since 1974 when it all began. I had already met Carroll, but then met many of the others involved in that 1959 win. Great cars…..Great people. Wish I was in France this weekend.

Didn’t they pay Ohlandorf that much to rehab?
