Hopefully Bill Foster's GOP Allies Take No Offense To His Email

On Thursday, Bill Foster, who has done his absolute best to alienate many of those who would like see him re-elected, emailed his supporters to address the "growing partisan nature of the Mayor’s race."

The email accuses Democrat Rick Kriseman of making the mayoral race "the most partisan race in our city’s history."

That doesn't sit well with Foster, who says that he is "adamant in my belief that bringing the same partisan politics that are failing us in Tallahassee and Washington would be extremely detrimental to St. Petersburg city government."

Same partisan politics that are failing us in Tallahassee ... 

Are you reading that Senator Jeff Brandes? Aren't you one of Mayor Foster's most prominent supporters? Bet you didn't know that Hizzoner thinks you are "failing us" in Tallahassee. How about you Senator Jack Latvala? Do you think your "partisan politics" would be "extremely detrimental" to St. Pete?

Neither of you have to answer.

Just as he did with his "entourage" quote about former mayor Rick Baker, Foster, with this email, has gone out of his way to antagonize his allies and supporters. 

That's not the smartest strategy consider Foster may need these allies in a general election.
