A twenty-one FAU junior is running against State Rep. George Moraitis for a seat in the Florida House. Douglas Morgan Oberman, a Democrat, is running for the District 93 seat. Like most 21 year old college kids, Oberman details his life experience on social media.

Originally from Illinois, Oberman enrolled at FAU three years ago. Under “work,” Oberman lists “candidate for Florida House of Representatives.” According to his Facebook page, Oberman adopted a cat last year.

When Oberman posted a picture of his campaign flyer, a Facebook friend asked, “is this a joke?”

"is this a joke?"

“is this a joke?”

Oberman is huge Bernie Sanders fan. He took to Facebook after somebody scribbled a four-letter word on his Bernie Sanders bumper sticker. Oberman wrote, “I’m not mad at you for having your opinions against Bernie. I’m not mad at you for being most likely a conservative. But I’m disappointed in you.” (sniff)

In a University Press story from September, Oberman explained his fondness for Bernie Sanders. “I believe that if we want change, and if we want to send a message to Washington and say that they cannot mess with our rights as individuals to express ourselves and our full political and social potential, it’s time to send Bernie Sanders,” Oberman said. “If we want to say ‘no’ to big businesses taking away our rights, and ‘no’ to a corrupt campaign and finance system that allows billionaires to buy elections: Bernie Sanders.”

No word if Oberman will transfer to FSU if elected.

Moraitis Opponent Uses Son To Shill For Obamacare

Gee, political novice Gerri Ann Capotosto sure is lucky. First, she gets to tell President Barack Obama (to his face) that he saved her from being homeless:

“Gerri Ann Capotosto, a small businesswoman, introduced Obama, telling a story about facing homelessness during the recession. She credited Obama with helping her family get through the ordeal.”

Then, last week the local NBC news affiliate picked her out of millions of south Floridians to shill for Obamacare.

“Looking at 17-year-old Patrick Capotosto, you would never know he has a pre-existing condition, but he has cholesteatoma – a cyst in his middle ear. The cyst damages everything around it, and the only solution is surgery. Capotosto required three. ‘When an insurance company looks at pre-existing conditions and they’ve seen that there’s been prior surgeries, without this legislation, he would have been denied. And at the time when he needed it, I would not have been able to write the $10,000 check,’ said his mother, Gerri Ann.”

According to the Capotosto Facebook page, Gerri Ann and son appeared on WSVN Channel 7 too.

Wow, we’re worried all Broward Democrat candidates get this treatment. What? They don’t get this PR? What makes Gerri Ann so special? Perhaps Gerri Ann will explain everything on her website.

Er, never mind.

Maybe disgruntled (and publicity-starved) Democrats should email Ashley?

Just remember Dems, “Under React”
