MONROE GETS SECOND ENDORSEMENT FOR SENATE CAMPAIGN...AND A CLARIFICATION OR TWO

Early voting ends tomorrow, and as the primary is now only five days away those newspapers who have not yet offered their endorsements will likely be doing so between now and then.

The Bradenton Herald offers it's endorsements in the Cabinet races this morning, giving it's recommendation to Walter G. "Skip" Campbell, Jr. in the Democratic primary for Attorney General, and Tom Lee in the GOP primary for Chief Financial Officer. Earlier, the Herald endorsed:

--- Will McBride in the Republican U.S. Senate primary
--- Les Miller in the District 11 Democratic congressional primary
--- Nancy Detert in the District 13 Republican congressional primary
--- Jan Schneider in the District 13 Democratic congressional primary

Also today, the Daytona Beach News Journal weighs in on the Republican race to see who will be their sacrificial lamb to incumbant Democrat Bill Nelson in November. It's endorsement goes to Tampa area attorney and commercial real estate developer Peter Monroe, noting his experience working in government under the Bush Sr. administration as COO of the Federal Housing Administration and head of the Resolution Trust Corporation.

I should note here that I missed the South Florida Sun Sentinel's endorsement of Monroe recently.
