Who will run for Governor in 2006?

Tom Gallager (Rebublican) will run. He has the hair for it.

Catherine

as in Harris?

She got promised something not to run for the Senate this year.

Tom Maddox former Tallahassee mayor and current FL Democratic Party chair

Jim Davis D-US Rep Tampa (my favorite)He's a moderate Democrat with a great voting record. He is also a very good speaker. I wish that he had tried last election but was defending his district against the gerrymandering by the Repub legislature.

Charlie Crist R-Attorney General (The only guy that can give George Hamilton a run for his money with his tan)

Who ever is left after the Democratic Senate primary may throw their hat in. If Alex Penelas loses in the primary, I'd bet he tries for Governor.

n/t

At least I didn't call him Lester. :D

I've heard speculation that he might.

I did like his message during the last campaign and he'd be a strong candidate. He'd run into trouble in N Florida, however, the racists in the pan handle would never vote for an African American. He'd also be great in some position in the Kerry Whitehouse. I'd like to see Kerry renominate him as Secretary of the Airforce.

I'm reasonably pretty sure that Scott Maddox and Jim Davis will run, though. I've been to some of the luncheons that Jim Davis hosts each quarter. In an earlier one, I asked him if he was considering running for Bob Graham's seat. He said something like he wasn't interested in staying in Washington but liked Tallahassee. The folks with me that know him personally said that he would try for the Democratic nomination for Governor.

A friend that was a delegate to the state convention, said that Scott Maddox had all but stated his intention to run. He was selling CDs as a fund raiser that had all the great Democratic speeches on it. FDR, Kennedy, Clinton, and, of course, himself. :D

can select another dullard/loser to bumble it up.

reno may not have won but at least she would have put up a fight.

i hate the state party for the crap they pulled and chunks they blew out last time.
maybe ill switch to the green party.

...he spoke with Hulk Hogan (yes, that Hulk Hogan) several times about Hogan's interest in running as an independent in 2006.

thank god for term limits.
