Talk:Rod Smith (politician)

Untitled
Why have the editors taken off all negative comments from this page that were sourced? Also, Wikipedia staff left all the positive unsourced statements, and then locked out all editability. Apparently a Wikipedia staff member has violated the Wikipedia mission in locking this page in as a political advertisement.grakoth 31 May 2006

I was going to add a section discussing Rod Smith's platform similar to what I did for Jim Davis, Tom Gallagher, and Charlie Crist, but was unable to find enough information on his stances. Does anyone have more information on his plans as Governor? Quberoot

I merged the polling section with the campaign section and I removed the controversy section as it did not list any citations. Doctor-of-fostat 17:29, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Endorsements
Does anyone else feel that the endorsement section is superfluous? Much of the page being taken up by minor supporters seems non-encyclopedic and a bit POV to me. I'm considering deleting it but wanted to see other people's views first. Againstxmatt 16:06, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

This page currently is one big political advertisement for the Rod Smith campaign. I have added the material on Lisa King, Smith's most famous case, and the campaign staff keeps taking it off. A movie called "Raw Deal" was made about this case and it is part of Mr. Smith's history and who he is as a politician, so really, it seems to me that the people who keep taking off any mention of Lisa King should lose their right to edit the page because they are censoring the page and the truth. Rod Smith is a Democrat, and many Democrats feel he is soft on rape, and that is just the way it is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.210.70.212 (talk • contribs) 16:54, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

The issue is not opposing Rod Smith, the issue with Lisa King is to present the facts. Once again, all mention of Lisa King was removed, even though it was sourced. And now edit ability seems to have been removed from the page. Here is the sourced info that needs to stay on this page to make it relevant in Wikipedia as a sourced document:

In 1992, and again in 1996, Smith was elected State Attorney for the Eighth Judicial Circuit, in the Gainesville area, which led to both successes and failures. Among the successes were the creation of the circuit's first special prosecutions unit to crack down on crimes against women and children.
