OMG - Orlando Sentinel Endoreses Stuart (8)

[iamjoy]

Charlie Stuart is running for U.S. House District 8 against three term incumbent (and George W. Bush lapdog) Ric Keller.

Almost everyone my hometown paper has endorsed are Republicans - but now, this...

Mr. Stuart, an Orlando business consultant, offers a sensible, centrist approach on a range of issues critical to Florida and the nation. That explains his endorsements from some prominent local Republicans as well as Bob Graham and other moderate Democrats.

Voters in Central Florida usually don't get the chance to replace a congressional incumbent with a better challenger. This race is an exception. The Sentinel endorses Charlie Stuart in the 8th District.

HOORAY! Stuart is more conservative than I would like, but in careful analysis, I realized during the primary that he was the right fit for this distict (which is largely conservative). And he's such a gosh darn gregarious and sensible guy when you talk to him.

And I was pleasantly surprised.
