Norman Braman's Pac: Vote for a New Miami-Dade, Inc. By Geniusofdespair

Braman is helping his selected candidates with phone calls. The only problem is, with people switching from home phones to cell phones you don't reach everyone.  I am a 5 voter but elections doesn't have my new number.  Thank God for that. No robocalls.

The bulk of the $107,500 Braman raised ($73,268) was used for calling voters. I hope he has a better strategy for the future. With absentee ballots going out JULY 17th, everyone had better step up their game.

The second PAC Braman put together is is called "Change Miami-Dade Now!". In this one Braman and a few of his friends (Martin Margulies) plunked down $362,000. This is a media PAC, running  adds on radio and TV. There are even ads in The Miami Herald and the Miami Times. By the payments, looks like Dario Moreno and Vanessa Brito are working hard for Change Miami-Dade Now! Inc.

Between the two PAC's he can spend a half a million. That is more than $100,000 for the good of each candidate's campaign.

At his core, Braman is a cheapskate. If he had just spent $10 thousand for some petitioners in 2010, we could have recalled a bunch of these losers.

Where was your contribution to that cause Kevin?

I was laid off in the fall of 2010. I don't have Braman's billions.

Do you only call out bigotry when you feel like it?

Braman may not know the ins and outs of doing an absentee ballot campaign. Maybe he should retain Jose Luis Castillo.

Hey Genius, I repect your blog and I am an avid reader of it. Nonetheless, Keon Hardemon is getting a lot of money from somewhere and I think as one of the best political bloggers in Miami politics you should research it. FYI- Braman is a pretty slick guy....

Hardemon name had long been around in the Black community. I am sure the guy and his family know where a lot of bodies are buried...translating into money and power. By the way--Don't bait me.

Hardemon is getting help from the two crooks, Spence-Jones and Dorrin Role.

In your opinion on both counts. I don't like calling politicians Crooks. Ethically challenged unless they are convicted.

Hey Genius, with just graduating law school this year do you think Keon Hardemon is ready/ the right choice to be County Commissioner?

Geniusofdespair said...

I don't like the candidate for a number of reasons.
