Dude too soon

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Nelson is starting to pickup his hispanic outreach a bit appearing more on local tv, good. Nelson is about to get serious about campaigning soon (hopefully). Labor day is like just over a week away and he has been saving all his money for a final push. Nice to see his website now has an easy to use Spanish version as well, and a lot more of his outreach and communication involves Spanish now, so he has modernized his campaign a bit.

The next thing I would like to see from Nelson is a substantial amount of his final push cash dedicated to ads on local Spanish radio channels.

This story isn't going to be in the news in two and a half weeks, much less two and a half months.

Translation (assuming my rusty Spanish is accurate): For me public service is gaining public confidence. I am grateful for the confidence that the people of Florida have given me, they are and always will be my priority.

Decent messaging, and it's good to see Nelson bring out that oh-so-necessary Hispanic outreach.

Yeah, hopefully he can reintroduce the negatives of Scott to the Floridian electorate once labor day is over, oh and reintroduce himself lol.

That translation seems accurate to me (though I'm not a native Spanish speaker), though I hope people realize that "Latino outreach" is more than just speaking Spanish.

Indeed, but is a reassuring improvement for us Nelson fans, and a definite good start.

[Use Your Illusion]

And suddenly, Illusion's blood pressure started to drop back to normal levels. For the love of God Bill, fight back and fight hard. Just don't forget about the Bay Area...

I don't think "siempre" has an accent at the end. That doesn't look right.

Very much this.

It was reported today by the Tampa Bay Times that up to $62 million of Rick Scott's wealth may be stored in Cayman Islands-registered hedge funds:

^If they didn't care about his $1.7 billion in Medicare fraud, they won't care about this.

Probably not, but I just wanted to make sure we had new stuff to add to our personal "Rick Scott is trash" files.

[UncleSam]

Sorry what’s wrong with storing some of your fortune in the Cayman Islands? I must have missed the memo on why fiduciary responsibility was bad

Is his income from those funds taxable in the U.S.?

That file cabinet has long been stuffed to the brim for me, lol.

Rick Scott sounds like the perfect working class hero that economically anxious Americans need, so clearly he understands what these people are going through.

[Donerail]

not really a good barometer for this race to watch tomorrow, but Gillum winning will help Nelson's chances significantly. Graham probably hurts him a bit, not really enough to be meaningful, Levine is the neutral outcome.

[Fuzzy Bear]

I consider Scott a very small fave at this point.  I base this solely on Scott's stronger, more authoritative image, coupled with the welcoming, reassuring, optimistic tone he is able to project.

That's a lot of puffery, and he'll need it all when they start showing the deposition videos of Scott taking the Fifth Amendment.

Why does Graham hurt?

Wasn't Gillum subject to a criminal investigation? Or was that a nothingburger?

Why does Graham hurt?

Gillum focuses on turning out D base voters who may not otherwise vote (and who will vote for Nelson), Graham focuses on flipping high-turnout voters who will turn out regardless and who may still vote for Scott.

Wasn't Gillum subject to a criminal investigation? Or was that a nothingburger?

Hasn't amounted to anything yet, doubtful that it will — it seems focused on local lobbyist Adam Corey and city commissioner Scott Maddox. Gillum had been swept up in it b/c he was Mayor at the time, but doesn't appear to be the subject of the investigation.

Thoughts on Nelson's first tv ad?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TFz7WQJdhM

FYI: Scott has now spent $47M on TV ads with $35M of that on negatives against Nelson. Despite that, the race remains close. Make of that what you will.

Nelson has reserved $18M in TV ads with Senate Majority reserving another $23M.
