Message To State Representative Evan Jenne

“The lady doth protest too much, methinks.”

You must read this story in the Sun-Sentinel. Apparently uber-lobbiyist and salami sandwich diva Judy Stern will spurn her BFFs, (Bonnie Prince) Johnny Rodstrom and Charlotte Rodstrom, to support State Rep Evan Jenne as he seeks a seat on the Broward County Commission. Stern is shocked(!) Rodstrom is running for the County Commission. Is Judy slipping? Every blog in town made mention that Charlotte would try for the Rodstrom seat if that pesky Supreme Court upheld the will of the people.

Could this all be for show? Stay tuned…

“Stern said she committed to Jenne months ago, when he indicated he’d run for Broward County Commission if term limits were upheld and John Rodstrom’s seat became open.

She worked on Charlotte Rodstrom’s just concluded City Commission campaign, and said she had no idea Charlotte Rodstrom would turn around and run for her husband’s seat on the County Commission. Friday, Charlotte Rodstrom opened a campaign account to run for the County Commission seat.

‘She’d told me she had no interest in the County Commission,’ Stern said. ‘I got back into town Monday. I was just, like, shocked.’

‘For as close as we are, I mean, I was surprised that she never raised it beforehand,’ Stern went on. ‘So I had no idea. … Right up to the Thursday before the election she still spoke to me about she was glad the election was winding up and she didn’t want to campaign anymore. The whole thing’s bizarre.'”

Broward Democrat Kristin Jacobs Kick Off Campaign For US Congress

Broward County Commisioner (and resident joke-teller) Kristin Jacobs (D-“Fair”) launched her campaign for US Congress at the old schoolhouse in Deerfield Beach. Jacobs was introduced by fellow commissioner, Bonny Prince Johnny Rodstrom.

A crowd of about 60 family members and Democrat activists listened as Jacobs gave a speech right out of the Clinton-era 1990s: “Save the oceans”, “build bridges” ” play by rules” and “livable wage”.

Funny thing, she didn’t mention President Barack Obama.

Jacobs played up her underdog role. Lois Frankel remains the Democrat frontrunner with more than a million dollars in the bank. The Democrat will face GOP candidate Adam Hasner who has the backing of the RNC, the NRCC, Congressman Allen West, and local GOPers State Senator Ellyn Bogdanoff and State Rep. George Moraitis.

Some notable Democrats in attendance: County Commisioner Lois Wexler, “Ethics” honcho Roy Rogers, BSO candidate Louis Granteed, School Board lobbyist and Rogers’ chum Lisa Maxwell, Allen West protest organizer Michael Rajner and Democrat operative Jack Shifrel.
