Republicans inside Pensacola city limits abandoned Hofberger for Vinson

The Escambia County Commission District 4 race is the perfect example of every vote making a difference , as the race may come down to the very last vote when overseas ballots are counted on Nov. 13.

A closer look at the results as they stood after the final recount on Nov. 7 when non-party affiliated candidate Joe Vinson pulled ahead by 14 votes, show that many voters in the city of Pensacola who otherwise voted Republican opted for Vinson over Hofberger. A precinct-level analysis also shows Vinson could’ve secured a stronger lead, but many voters who otherwise supported Democrats skipped voting in the race, especially those in the more racially diverse precincts of District 4.

All-you-can-eat spaghetti, with soup or salad on the side. That deal alone made me sit up a little straighter. The menu doesn’t stop at pasta, either. Stuffed grouper, fried ravioli, manicotti, and a build-your-own combo plate all share the same lineup. Most entrees come with soup or salad plus garlic bread.
