Back here in Tampa, Hillary Clinton […]

Give Tim Kaine credit for at least attempting Florida A&M University‘s “Strike, Strike, and Strike Again” chant. The Democratic vice-presidential candidate and U.S. senator from Virginia stopped by the campus of Tallahassee’s historically black university Friday afternoon. He greeted several hundred students, donning a green FAMU cap and giving his best approximation of the Rattler Strike, […]
