[...] Caetano is running for City Council district 7. He was scheduled to show at the TampaGold candidates forum this morning. He did not call, he did not show [...]

whoa — I think these are taking a turn towards entertainment rather than actual fact finding and such. (and I glop the many statements of glop made as of today regarding these forums together — maybe the guy was chicago-style poisoned — sheeeit maybe he was really sick) As well, I thought that I read that this was going to be done by League of Women Voters (maybe that’s the one I wanted to see) and then I read that Julie Brown was Pres. of league of voters but after checking a few local lowv sites I gave up … as to Tampa Gold I can see where panels and questions can be unfair and slippery and I can see that a man’s reputation might be trashed because he’s barfing and/or something came up. Last time it was Dingfelder’s fault when he was scheduled during a meeting. Maybe, just maybe these guys realize that this forum is not all that. AND, if it IS THEN PROVE IT BY STOPPING this display of partisanship IMMEDIATELY and also — immediately disclose the criteria for the panelists … or I’ll just go by whatever pushing rope has to say …

The quality and content of the Forums speak for themselves. Watch them and judge for yourself.
Or just stay with the 15 second soundbite that some editor you will never see or know controlled for you.
We stand by our hour long forum.
