Crowley Political Report

Sam Oser is always a gentleman and he was very kind to Conchita Cruz.

Oser, the 80-plus, year-old president of the West Palm Beach Century Village Democratic Club, allowed Cruz to speak yesterday, on behalf of her boss CFO Alex Sink, to a gathering of club members.

When Cruz was done, Oser politely thanked her for speaking about Sink. But then Oser, still holding the micophone, gave Cruz a not-so-subtle warning for her to bring back to the Democrat candidate for governor.

"Alex Sink has not been here. Tell Alex for us we don't go down to Delray to see her. We don't go down to Boynton. We expect Alex to be here."

Thousands of Democrats live in Century Village and they all vote. And that not too gentle warning was a hint that they are getting impatient.
