The Barack Obama campaign volunteers in Pinellas County were overjoyed by the fact that their hard work for the presidential run paid off.
When the election was called in favor of President Barack Obama, the celebration started at the campaign office in St. Petersburg. "We won Pinellas County and we won the entire country. It's just amazing," said Mallory Stewart Robison, an Obama campaign volunteer. Obama's re-election didn't come as a given for any of the campaign workers, who put in months of hard work promoting Obama's mission, Stewart Robison said. "I've been (at the campaign office) so much, and it's hard to believe that it's actually over," Steward Robison said. NBC News called the presidential election for Obama around 11:15 EST. Florida votes were still too close to call Tuesday night, but Obama won the majority of votes in Pinellas County.

Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri easily defeated challenger Scott Swope on Tuesday. With 299 of 299 Precincts Reporting, Gualtieiri won 59.24 percent to 40.45 percent.

Democratic challenger Scott Swope called Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri and left a message telling him to "do good for these next four years."
Democratic challenger for Pinellas County Sheriff Scott Swope thanked volunteers, supporters and friends at the VFW in Dunedin shortly after conceding to incumbent Bob Gualtieri in Tuesday's election. Swope called Gualtieri and left a message telling him to "do good for these next four years." Swope made the call after 85 percent of the vote was in favor of the incumbent. This is "the end of a 14-month journey that has been very, very strenuous, time consuming and expensive," he said. Swope received more than 205,000 votes but trailed Gualtieri by more than 20,000 votes with nearly all precincts reporting. Swope called the campaign a "David vs Goliath" battle from the beginning and is proud of the votes he earned. "I am rejuvenated in my …

Clearwater voters gave their OK to changes to the city employee pension plan and to exempting some businesses from paying ad valorem taxes at the polls Tuesday.
Clearwater voters gave their OK to changes to the city employee pension plan and to exempting some businesses from paying ad valorem taxes at the polls Tuesday. Mayor George N. Cretekos called the passing of both referendums “fantastic.” Modifications to the city’s pension plan could save the city $4.5 million the first year and more than $400 million over 30 years through pension benefit level reductions. “It is going to have a significant impact on our budget, on our services and on our tax rate,” Cretekos said Tuesday night. Clearwater voters gave overwhelming support to the referendum to allow the business tax exemptions, approving it with 56 percent of the vote. Voting “yes” to create Economic Development Ad Valorem Tax Exemptions …

Voting is a family affair for the Alonsos. Theresa Alonso, 28, went to the polls at precinct 521 the Salvation Army, 1625 N. Belcher Rd., with her husband and 20-month old son Tuesday afternoon. “He lives here too,” Alonso said.

She was not the only parent who brought their children to the polls Tuesday.

A disagreement over campaign signs caused a back-and-forth exchange between a campaign volunteer and Clearwater Mayor George Cretekos, who served as a poll worker Tuesday at a Dunedin church.
Two campaign signs. Two swaths of grass. Two reactions. A First Presbyterian Church of Dunedin maintenance official removed a "Bob Hackworth for Mayor" yard sign planted on a vacant swath of prime campaign real estate. A sign for incumbant Dave Eggers rested against a tree nearby. The swath of grass belongs to the church and borders its parking lot, where voters parked to cast their vote at precinct 537 on Tuesday. Another grass patch, which runs a stretch of Highland Avenue and is divided by a public sidewalk, is considered public right of way. Campaign signs are allowed there. It was cluttered with a rainbow of signs, with no visual breathing room. Campaigner Bill McElligott, who'd been standing on the corner much of the day, returned …

While the owner of Clearwater's Two Buks Saloon makes sure to vote, the daughter who tends bar does not.
It is widely known not to mix politics and alcohol. However, being a bartender is not the reason why Taryn Harrison doesn’t vote. Harrison, 30, has worked on and off at Two Buks Saloon for the last 10 years. She just does not know enough about the election process to feel comfortable registering. And since she doesn’t vote, she doesn’t complain, she said. “I deal with it as it comes along,” said Harrison, a Palm Harbor resident. However, her ambivalence does stir the political pot with mom, Deb Sherbuk, who owns the bar and attached liquor store where Harrison works. “(Deb) hates the fact that I’m not a registered voter,” Harrison said. Deb proudly wore her “I Voted” sticker after spending more than two hours waiting in line at her …

Comint is indeed a type of Sigint, and I meant to say Elint (also a type of Sigint). And yes, there are multiple types of intel, but my point was that there are often conflicts in information that is coming in in real time and I was giving examples. In the Benghazi situation, I'd professionally wager that the best source will be Humint, supplemented by Comint. And, as multiple echelons were … more ›
