Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden endorsed Democrat Annette Taddeo in an effort to give a late boost to the Democrat’s candidacy against Republican state Rep. Jose Felix Diaz in the competitive race for Senate District 40 in Miami-Dade County. Victory for Taddeo on Tuesday would bring Democrats one step closer to their long-term goal of taking back control of the Florida Senate, where Republicans hold a 24-15 advantage. The seat became open last spring after then-Sen. Frank Artiles, R-Miami, was forced to resign in April over racist and insulting remarks he made to a pair of colleagues, and over revelations that he’d hired apparently unqualified young women — including a former Hooters “calendar girl” — as campaign consultants.

"Rob Kall has certainly acquired the firsthand experiences and knowledge gained through interviews to deliver some interesting insights about the "bottom-up" information revolution. Whereas the old 'top-down' systems created stove-pipes and excessive secrecy that blocked information sharing and led to the 'failure to connect the dots' before 9-11, the bottom-up approach should be the main fix. Kall's concept would seem to interface equally well with the founding fathers' idealism in setting forth their democratic theory of governance as with the realism that makes the multi-sourced, bottom-up Wikipedia work. As someone who shares my support of both government and corporate whistleblowing -- which is nothing more than encouraging greater horizontal sharing of information, I commend Rob Kall's important work on this topic."
