United Front in Florida

Democratic gubernatorial candidate has dropped out and endorsed Congressman Jim Davis for the nomination. I consider this effort to united the Dems behind one candidate is either an attempt by Maddox to gain brownie points for a future political run or an attempt to get the Lt. Governor's spot on the ticket. I expect the only other viable challenger to Davis' nomination, Rod Smith, will also dropout in the coming weeks.

This could be a problem for the GOP, since they are going to have a bloody two way primary contest. Davis could beat either Crist or Gallagher.
