DAVIS AND THE FDP ARE GETTING SOME HELP

The Florida Democratic Party and it's gubernatorial candidate, Congressman Jim Davis, will be getting some big name help after all. Former Virginia governor Mark Warner, one of several persons being hyped as a possible 2008 presidential candidate, will make two stops in Florida October 4 to raise money for the party's efforts.

Warner will first be in Tallahassee for a luncheon to benefit the state party. Then he flies to Tampa for a fundraising effort at the Tampa Club to help out the Hillsborough County Democratic Executive Committee.

Also, 2004 presidential nominee and Massachusetts U.S. Senator John Kerry will return to the Sunshine State to help Davis and the FDP. He'll be the featured speaker at a Miami fundraiser next Saturday (September 30). According to the Miami Herald political blog Naked Politics, Kerry will also traverse across Florida to rallies for four congressional contenders: Christine Jennings in Sarasota, Phyllis Busansky in Tampa, Tim Mahoney in Palm Beach Gardens (who is, BTW, the only Florida candidate so far endorsed by former NATO Supreme Commander Wesley Clark's WesPAC), and Ron Klein in Fort Lauderdale.
