There's both an upside and downside to out of state contributions. Since they are public record, if Govan gets most of his support from out of state then that puts a cloud over his credibility with "duh voters." No bush (lowercase b) should be left unbeaten in Florida itself to fund this guy... it's important for his credibility.
If the high point of George Greer's time on the bench is how he's mishandled one guardianship in particular and snubbed Governor Bush in the process, he's being called "George of the Bungle."
How many guardianships and estates have been bungled in addition to Terri's guardianship file?
THAT IS MIND BOGGLING and I wouldn't be surprised if people who had been wronged by Greer's court will likely step forward with their personal HORROR STORIES and say "don't vote for Greer". I've heard of two others and there are probably MANY MORE.
