Chiles considering run for Florida Governor
It worked for Florida Democrats before, so why not again?

Chiles for governor.

Lawton "Bud" Chiles, the eldest son of the late governor, is considering running for governor in 2006. The 51-year-old Orlando developer has called Democrats across the state to talk about running to succeed Jeb Bush. He told the St. Petersburg Times he expects to make a decision by mid January.

3. Sorry buddy...
I loved your father as governer and I would vote for you, there's only one problem. There's a bush in that chair and that means the game is automatically rigged. Get wise to it and work to stop it before you even entertain about running.

5. Jeb is out in 2006
8 year term limit. Bye Bye Jebbie Boy.

I absolutely loved Lawton Chiles. If he is anything like his father he would have my vote for sure!

6. That's right, I forgot.
See? 24 year olds don't know everything. :)

It's still rigged though.
