| Description | NAPLES - Plenty of smart people think Jim Davis is a shoo-in to win the Democratic gubernatorial nomination.
But they weren't in Naples last week to see all the yawning and watch-checking among 500 Democrats listening to the Tampa congressman's stump speech.
"My campaign for governor is a campaign about restoring respect," Davis said. "Respect for the voices of all Floridians. Respect for the God-given potential of our children. Respect for the freedom and dignity of our seniors, our disabled and those in need. Respect for those who work hard and play by the rules."
As Davis continued amid sporadic, polite applause, people throughout the hotel ballroom resumed conversations. A few decided it was a good time to hit the john.
The response to Davis' likely rival, state Democratic chairman Scott Maddox, could hardly have been more different. People rose to their feet cheering. |
