See the Fla. Politics post comparing coverage.
The Buzz gives the right pronunciation of her name and lists some of her conservative movement bona fides.

Positioning the right appointees may seem ominous, but perhaps it'll be the extent of it -- i.e., that will fulfill Jeb's obligation to his far-right support base.
That's not just blind optimism on my part; although there'll probably be a high-profile debate, I think there are cogent reasons why Florida is unlikely to adopt an ID agenda.
