Question about Post-Jeb Florida

[MissWaverly]

What does everyone think about POST-JEB Florida, give us the scoop, it looks like the
Republican Party is not having much luck managing Katherine Harris campaign for Senate,
what is your prediction about the state itself.

Here's some info on Rod Smith, I dug up on the internet

Favorable endorsement posted in Florida news blogspot

Seems to me he'd be the perfect choice for governor. Not because he has the best chance of winning a general election, even though he does. Not because he's a great speaker or because he's a great guy, even though he's both. He'd be an amazing Governor. That's what I get out of the article and what I've seen from him.

Campaign speech for Governor by Rod Smith

"I'm a Baptist and I'm a Democrat. I'm sure I'm an imperfect example of both. But I'm not switching from neither," Smith quipped to 100 Democrats gathered in former Attorney General Bob Butterworth's living room in Hollywood. "This race is going to be about who can win the whole state of Florida," he said, urging the crowd of mostly South Florida liberals to consider the importance of winning more rural Florida votes. "Throughout my life I have been able to convince the working families that the fight of the Democratic Party is the fight for their families. If we do that, we'll win again."
