State District House Kaye Nets Local Endorsements

Kaye Nets Local Endorsements

– Grassroots progressive and Democratic candidate for Florida State District House 86, Carole Kaye, recently earned three endorsements in her bid for the seat. “I’m very grateful for these endorsements. They reflect my own values and demonstrate my commitment to social justice and grassroots democracy,” Kaye said.

Among the endorsers are the Palm Beach County Human Rights Council, Democracy for America’s Palm Beach County affiliate, and the United Haitian American Democratic Club.

Kaye, a District 86 resident for over five years, is contesting the primary against Lori Berman. Berman was originally running in the neighboring District 87 race where she lives, but switched for reasons yet to be understood. As no other candidates from other party affiliations qualified for the ballot, the August 24th Democratic primary is open to all District 86 voters regardless of party affiliation.

Florida State House District 86 includes parts of Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Boynton Beach.

The 2010 College Football season will open with Alabama sitting ranked in the number one position of the USA Today Coaches Poll. Alabama defends it number one ranking finish in 2009 after beating Texas in the NCAA National Championship game.

The final poll results had the Crimson Tide getting 55 first-place votes out the possible 59 votes available from the American Football Coaches Association panel.

The four remaining first-place votes went to the number 2 ranking team Ohio State Buckeyes. The first-place votes push the Buckeyes ahead in the rankings of Florida at No. 3 and No. 4 Texas.

There are some interesting notes for this years rankings and opening games. No. 5 ranked Boise State will open the 2010 season playing the No. 6 team Virgina Tech.

With TCU getting the No. 7 ranking and the No. 5 ranked Boise State, they hold the highest preseason rankings for conference schools who do not recieve automatic bids to the BCS games. The first time ever since the Bowl Championship Series system was put into place in 1998. Prior to this years poll, no such school had opened the season ranked higher than 16th.

The Crimson Tide face a tough schedule even with the returning running back Heisman Trophey winner Mark Ingram. Alabama is scheduled to play Penn State ranked No. 14, Arkansas ranked No. 19 and the No. 4 Florida Gators all within the first five weeks.

It should be noted that Southern California is ineligible for the poll due to the banning from bowl games this season from NCAA sanctions.
