Not Helping my Mood to Improve
The St. Petersburg Times endorsed Jim Davis' opponent today. Their arguments for such a lousy decision are laughable and proves that the editorial board is deluded and out of touch with mainstream voters.
They purport to tell Democrats the way to get to the Governor’s Mansion by recommending a little-known senator from Alachua. This is a ridiculous proposition considering Rod’s record on the environment and his allegiance to both the NRA and Big Sugar. Allegiances most Democrats would find alarming. By the Times' own account, Jim Davis is an ethical man. The recent attack on such a noble legislator from Big Sugar on behalf of the above mentioned senator shows that Rod Smith is neither thoughtful nor ethical. Floridians deserve better than that.
This endorsement is clearly not a reflection of our voice. Jim has led every poll for over a year. He has led seven out of seven financial quarters and is the only candidate for governor who does not have an A rating from the NRA. That matters to more Democrats than the misguided vision of an out-of-touch newspaper. Even more, Jim has never lost an election and this will not be the first. On September 5th, Jim Davis will be our nominee for Governor, proving The St. Petersburg Times irrelevant at the same time.

Jim is the moderate candidate. Douche bag.
The Palm Beach Post, Lakeland Ledger and Daytona Beach News Journal also have endorsed Smith. I don't think that means much, though. The key to that race is winning the support of the large number of undecideds, and the type of person who is undecided just a few weeks before the primary probably doesn't pay much attention to editorials.
big sugar? who cares?
Big Sugar is one of Florida's biggest polluters. Jim fought to stop them from dumping runoff into the Everglades and that's why they are backing Rod.
I care. Genius.
Give me some sugar, baby!
It's a trick. Get an ax.
What's a douche bag??????
I am sure you won't say that the St. Pete Times is out of touch with the mainstream if Jim Davis wins the primary (that is a BIG if) and is endorsed over Charlie Crist.
GO ROD GO!!

Who cares about the NRA's grading system???
I own a gun and I am a Democrat. I am not a member of the NRA and don't give a crap about what the NRA thinks. What is the big deal???
Stop being a whining liberal. People like you are the reason we have only one remaining Democrat who holds a statewide office. Bill Nelson.
