Corrine Brown exploring senate race

U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown, D-Jacksonville, confirms that she is launching an exploratory campaign for U.S. Senate, and said an internal statewide poll shows her comfortably ahead of any Democratic contender including Kendrick Meek.

"Experience,'' she said, when asked why the 17-year U.S. House member would be a stronger candidate than Meek. "I like Kendrick and I love his mother but this is about making sure we have someone at the table when we're talking about energy, we're talking about education, we're talking about jobs, we're talking about health care."

And likely Republican nominee Charlie Crist? "I just think the state needs more than someone who's there to talk a great game, smile and take pictures. The key is to deliver for the people of Florida."

She expects to make a decision within a few weeks.

[Gelber for Senate]

This is great news for Dan Gelber!

[Not a Corrine Brown fan]

Anything that gets Corrine Brown out of a position of public trust is a good thing. And I have no doubt a run for the U.S. Senate by her will be the last we have to hear of her.

Ethics involving daughter

On June 9, 1998, the Congressional Accountability Project filed an ethics complaint against Brown.
One of the complaints was that Brown's daughter Shantrel, a lawyer who worked for the Environmental Protection Agency in Washington, had received a $50,000 Lexus LS 400 automobile as a gift from an agent of a Gambian millionaire named Foutanga Sissoko. Sissoko, a friend of Congresswoman Brown, had been imprisoned in Miami after pleading guilty to charges of bribing a customs officer. Brown had worked to secure his release, pressuring U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno to deport Sissoko back to his homeland as an alternative to continued incarceration.n June 2007, Citizens for Ethics released a report reporting Brown's daughter Shantrel Brown-Fields as a congressional lobbyist; the organization maintains that Congressional relatives working as lobbyists for special interests are a conflict of interest for lawmakers. Brown-Fields is employed by Alcalde & Fayte, with clients including ITERAIn 2006, Brown's campaign committee paid her daughter's husband, Tyree Fields, $5,500 for political consulting work. Rep. Brown has earmarked millions of dollars in federal funding for her daughter's client Edward Waters College.On Friday, August 22 2008, during the height of Tropical Storm Faye, which was pounding the North Florida area with heavy rain and winds, Ms. Brown called the City of Jacksonville to request pumps and sandbags be brought to her house along the Trout River because it was flooding. According to Brown, she made several phone calls to Jacksonville's Public Works Office, FEMA and the US Army Corps of Engineers, Home Depot to find free sandbags, before she finally reached Adam Hollingsworth, chief of staff for Jacksonville Mayor John Peyton, on Friday, .According to her neighbor, Joe Deloach, he asked for the same help from the crew of inmates sandbagging Ms. Brown's property, but was denied and laughed at by the crew working on the project.On November 3, 2008, while attending a Barack Obama rally in Jacksonville, Florida, Brown was momentarily heckled concerning her sandbag controversy, but did not acknowledge her accusers

[What goes around...]

Amen to 5:50!

You've made your bed, Charlie. Now you must lay in it...with your "wife," of course.

[Northside Mom]

O. M. G. The woman is insane. I live in her district. I can tell you just how much Corrine has "delivered". Oh, wait, she had sandbags "delivered" to her house during the tropical storm - maybe that's what she means?!

[Marco can beat him]

....

"And likely Republican nominee Charlie Crist?"

I just think the state needs more than someone who's there to talk a great game, smile and take pictures. The key is to deliver for the people of Florida."

Right. So the likely nominee is this man:

Fairwell to the status quo, hello substance and leadership.

Go Marco.

[Mabel]

We need a woman in the Senate.

Rep. Corrine Brown will beat Gov. Crist for Martinez' Senate seat.

[Sweet Jesus!!!!!!]

Is this a nightmare? Or a comedy show?

Queen Corrine running for US Senate?

[!]

HAHHHAHAHAHHHAHAH!!!!!11!!!

[Urine Brown? haha]

Mabel below is either on crack or works for her and get a check from her.

[gatah]

Maybe Corch Urban Meyer and Percy Harvey will endorse her in exchange for her shoutout on the floor.

[sean]

Corrine's internal poll only involves asking her daughter, mother, and staff ! LOL

[capitolgator]

please please run...What fun could we have with all the youtubes of Corrine's campaign's speeches? Actually what she said about Charlie might be the first insightful thing I've ever heard her say.

[OMG...Please, please Run!!!]

As long as Corr-ine will work to help Freedonia, I may even send her a contribution! Run, girlfrind, run! Just don't forget to put that mercedes in Park before you get out...

[decent into propaganda]

11:00 The fact russia would love the US to fail tells why they really hoped that we would stay the course set by bush and his minions,failure was assured.they figured if so many citizens buy into fox news they would give a try.If successful the propaganda will take us back to the
course of failure.

[Thomas]

Yeah, she's a real heavyweight. She really brought down the thunder with the CSX deal.......NOTTTTTTTTT

[MoPed]

Corrine delivers! Uh, actually it's more like Corrine gets stuff delivered to her. Like sandbags during a tropical storm at her private home.

[Just Sayin]

A true sign of the apocalypse

Next we will hear:

"A Black woman will reach a much better decision than a white man because he has not lived such a life"

Or something similar...

[CAB]

What a choice that would be for conservatives-

Charlie Christ - Arlen Spector with a tanning bed

VS

Corrine Brown - A person devoid of not only an intellect but intellectual honesty.

Lets save money on the general election and let them both run in the democrat primary.

[John]

Corrine is not seriously considering running. She just want free publicity for a few weeks.

How did she ever get elected? You want me to believe she reads and understands the bills before voting for her constituents? She is an embarrassment for Florida & the United States of America.
