Crist is first Republican into the Gubernatorial Race

Charlie Crist, or Chain Gang Charlie become the 'first' Republican to announce a bid for the Governor’s office. Yesterday he had his papers filed by John Walsh, of America's Most Wanted fame. He joins the race where Congressman Jim Davis and Senator Rod Smith are currently representing the Democratic Party.

I will point out that there are other candidacy running as Democrats and as Republicans but they aren't receiving any coverage from the media. The state division of elections list all qualified state level candidates and I would recommend checking it out every now and again over the next 14 months as we wait to see everyone who qualifies for office.

Also note that we are waiting to see what the under estimated Lt. Governor Toni Jennings does along with State CFO Tom Gallagher, and we are waiting to see who decides to run against Senator Nelson.
