Former State Democratic Party Chair, Leon DEC Chair, and Mayor of Tallahassee, Scott Maddox, has formally dropped out of the race for Governor. Many of our members have worked closely with the former Chairman over the last few years and have a great deal of respect for him.
The Tallahassee Democrat reports:
"Former Tallahassee Mayor Scott Maddox dropped out of the race for governor today and endorsed U.S. Rep. Jim Davis of Tampa for the Democratic nomination.
Maddox said the controversy surrounding his handling of Democratic Party finances when he was state chairman has not badly wounded his campaign, and his fund-raising for the past quarter was adequate. But, he said, the Democrats can't compete with the Republicans unless they unite and concentrate what money they have on winning next year."

Even though I believe he's dropping out mainly b/c of the previous problems, we Democrats should follow his lead and unite (for once) and win our state back.
Great point Josh, Maddox isn't going away. He'll be a great force in 2006 and beyond. Right now we need to get Jim Davis elected Governor, keep Bill Nelson as our voice in Washington, and support our cabinet nominees.
