    Hey Gringo, this is how we do politics in Florida!

    A dark money mystery in Florida state senate race http://a.msn.com/01/en-us/BB1biijR?ocid=se

    BTW...shitty reporting from CNN on this story. They use the picture including the back of her head, but won't credit the local reporter by name. Her name is Glenna Milberg from Local 10 here in Miami. Give the credit to person from which you merely just copied the story.

    The best part of it is...This is Not illegal.

    Yeah I saw that.

    Pretty clever.

    Fund some throwaway candidate with the same last name as opponent in a close election, count on idiots voting for the guy with the close name, hope that's the margin.

    Actually worked.

    I remember that movie with Eddie Murphy. This is different. In the movie, the Congressman died, and Eddie Murphy's character ran with the same name and many people didn't know the difference.

    In this scenario, the bogus candidate had the same last name (different first names) as the guy who lost (by 34 votes). The bogus candidate never did any campaigning and still got over 6300 votes. Somebody did some mailers for him and he got enough votes to flip the election. Miami politics at it's finest!

    Yeah yeah, we all know ARod was a talented person who, due to past mistakes, failed to garner enough votes to get to where he wants to go.

    What happened in this election tho?
