Sources[edit]

Looking through the article I saw that www.raulmartinez08.com was used as a source in the "Controversies" section. Now it does link to old articles of The Miami Herald but the website itself is clearly an anti-Martinez website and as such direct links to a non-biased site containing these articles would be of benefit to this article.--Jersey Devil (talk) 07:29, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct that the web page is clearly Anti-Martinez but I went and contacted the former Mayor family myself and asked them if they would like the site removed and they replied that there was no reason to remove it. That most of the articles were actually Pro-Martinez and that he has nothing to hide about his past. Callelinea (talk) 16:06, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Decided to remove the link based on Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons 3.2, 4.1, and 4.2. Where as the articles are factual many of the assumptions and photographs are misleading.Callelinea (talk) 15:36, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SURVEYUSA[edit]

According to Survey USA, "775 registered voters were interviewed by SurveyUSA 08/24/08 through 08/26/08, using Registration Based Sample purchased from Aristotle of Washington DC. Of the registered voters, 632 were determined by SurveyUSA to be likely to vote in November. Diaz-Balart ran unopposed in 1992, 1994, 1996, 2000, and 2002. In 2004 Diaz-Balart won with 73% of the vote. In 2006, Diaz-Balart won with 60% of the vote. "
