Lawton Chiles III poised to run for Fla gov

Because Florida's election year is not crazy enough already....

Lawton "Bud" Chiles III, the 57-year-old son of the late governor, is seriously looking at running against Democrat Alex Sink for governor. He has been talking to friends and family across the state.

"He's got some very strong convictions and a yearning for a Florida that was simpler and more about solving its problems than what we see today,'' said his wife, Kitty Chiles.

A Tallahassee resident, Chiles has been walking across Florida promoting children's issues, vocally and bluntly criticizing Florida's leadership and the direction the state is heading.

3. The country has changed since the late Chiles walked across Florida

He was a favourite of mine! Chiles was folksy and unpretentious.

Our country has gotten a lot meaner since those days!
