LC3
It looks like Lawton Chiles III will run. Note the headline in the Tallahassee Democrat: Chiles' son to run in 2006. Doesn't even use his name. And there is the problem. Nobody knows LC3 as anything other than his daddy's son.
For those who think homespun Florida-boy style, centrist instincts and general smarts make up for political inexperience, I have two words -- Bill McBride.
I'm sure LC3 is a good person, but he's a nostalgia candidate from a party that should at least go through the motions of looking forward. Personally, I think political dynasties are symptomatic of a democracy that's ailing.

Nope, Florida would never elect a political neophyte based solely on the fact that they have a famous last name....
Wait a minute. Never mind.
