The nasty campaign rhetoric began to bubble up even before Martinez formally announced his candidacy a week ago — with several well-aimed jabs at Díaz-Balart. The day before, while campaigning for John McCain, Díaz Balart called Martinez a guy with a bad rep and a potty mouth to boot. ”His record is not only of corruption,” Díaz-Balart fumed (one of his two preferred rhetorical modes; the other is indignant), ”but also vulgarity.” Martinez vulgar? No me diga. That charge, however, doesn’t wash in Hialeah where a mayor who gets pot-holes fixed can talk any darned way he pleases.
The 21st congressional district, which runs from far Southwest Broward down through West Miami-Dade, is solidly middle-class, mostly Republican and about 70 percent Hispanic. There are about 20,000 more registered Republicans than Democrats, but also a growing number of independents. Díaz-Balart has represented the district, in one shape or another, since 1992 and by most lights done a pretty good job. In recent years he has faced only write-in candidates whom he has trounced.”*
