BRINGING IN THE BIG NAMES

This year's Florida gubernatorial race is important for both major political parties, so it's not surprising that both candidates will likely bring in nationally known names to help their efforts.

Democrat Jim Davis will have former North Carolina Senator and 2004 presidential candidate (potentially one for 2008 as well) John Edwards at a "community gathering" Friday evening in Miami to support his campaign.

No word on Republican Charlie Crist, for now, but you know he'll need to bring in a big name or two to help the war chest.
