Mayor Juan Carlos Bermudez is Running for Miami Dade County Mayor. By Geniusofdespair

The field is getting crowded. Don't know much about this guy but he has to be better than Hialeah Julio Robaina.

Meanwhile photogenic, former State Representative Marcelo Llorente is raking in the dough. He has $301,504. In December he took money from the Wren Group, Carlos Salman Realty, Manuel Alfonso-Poch, Ramon Rasco and CCS Strategies among others. A Chris Korge in Gainesville gave him $25? What is that about? And, why is he giving himself a $7,500 loan when he has all that dough?

Manny Luis, the guy I found holding up a fish on facebook, has withdrawn from the race. So now we have Bermudez, Llorente, Darrin Ellis (not a serious candidate), County Commissioner Carlos Gimenez, Lazaro R. Gonzalez (led the first recall against Carlos Alvarez, doesn't speak English well, can't win and he hung up on me when I asked him to support charter change), Joshua Larose (the nutty guy with a penchant for Political Action Committees) and Hialeah Julio. Speaking of Robaina, he is in the news again, see Miami New Times.

I know my pick,,,remember Alvarez won from a field of 11... all these people are so sure Alvarez will lose the recall?

Prediction: the Mayor's recall will be tossed out by a judge. You read it here first.

Well to my Anon friend above, Mayor Bermudez has always stated that "Politics doesn't make strange bedfellows, marriage does."

Mayor Alvarez has got to go. Miami needs a change in leadership and it begins with recalling the mayor.

Llorente received money from Rasco? That means that Rodney, Marquito Sergio US Century et al have picked their horse. Guess he just lost my vote. Down to Gimenez and Bermudez. Know both personally. Gimenez gets the vote.
