The original Political Hurricane article body is missing from our recovered database. This page preserves the historical title, date and URL and reconstructs only what can be verified from surviving contemporary coverage.

The Political Hurricane’s original headline records that the publication endorsed Alan Clendenin for chair of the Florida Democratic Party in December 2012.

Contemporary reporting from Creative Loafing Tampa described The Political Hurricane as one of Clendenin’s most vocal supporters during the contest against Allison Tant. That coverage identified Clendenin as a longtime Hillsborough County Democratic activist and DNC member and noted that his campaign emphasized strengthening local Democratic organizations and rebuilding party infrastructure after the 2012 election.

This archival page does not recreate the missing endorsement argument or treat its historical judgment as a current recommendation. It records that the endorsement existed and preserves the original URL for the public record.
