As he travels the state in the month leading up to the Sept. 5 primary, Davis highlights a clutch of hotter issues from his nearly 10 years in the House, often his leadership in the congressional battles over Terri Schiavo and offshore drilling.
His rival in the Democratic primary, state Sen. Rod Smith, paints Davis more as a patron of lost causes. Over Davis' objections, the House voted to send Schiavo's case to federal court and passed an offshore drilling bill in June that awaits final negotiations with the Senate.
Davis has diverse record from time at the Capitol

His rapid rise in the state Senate was not surprising given that Smith is bright -- he served as an adjunct professor at the University of Florida College of Law. As a glib-tongued trial lawyer, he starred in floor debates. And he arrived with the reputation of being one of the state's top prosecutors, having sent Gainesville serial killer Danny Rolling to Death Row.
Smith says working with GOP is key to success

Both also favor creating a paper trail for voters so they know their votes have been counted. They vow to increase stem cell research and talk about their efforts in fighting the Republicans who injected themselves into the Terri Schiavo controversy.
Many Dems still undecided on nominee for governor

I understood that he has no choice due to term limits.
Great news about the Greer hearing!!

"In addition, the (California) Legislature will have at least one bill, perhaps more, that addresses how we will deal with the health care costs of old people and the disabled. It is a unique solution for the United States. The last country to use this method was Nazi Germany. The current proposal in the Legislature is called the Compassionate Care Act and purports to help make it easier for the old and disabled to make end of life decisions. Where I come from, we say we are going to kill them off, but I guess I just understand the nuances of the English language.
Then theres single payer universal health care. Thats pretty speak for socialized medicine. Maybe we wont need a bill to help old people and the disabled kill themselves, well just enact universal health care and kill them off by not providing them with any health care. "
Adding to my previous post on a CA bill.
Here is more info and full text of the CA "Compassionate Choices Act" (official title) It's AB 651

bump for later
Yes even 'brain weight' Nelson said the only possible way to know if a patient is PVS is clinical, not autopsy. Thogmartin, on the other hand, seems oblivious to the effects of dehydration on the cortical cortex. It is the first to go when hydration or blood supply is generally lacking. This needs to be revisited by another examiner more competent in area of dehydration.
Remember, MANNER OF DEATH: UNKNOWN
Somebody in the FEC is sick of this b.s. I think Florida's getting weary of interstate and out of state calls and emails about this GOP Judge Greer. He made the Republican Party look like a party of death. It's no longer just a democratic nuance because he killed Terri with gusto!
There were so many coverups during his last term which I will remember more than the good that Jeb did.
I'm not just referring to Terri either.
Praying that Floridians will wake up and get rid of Crist, and that he will only be the beginning!

he could be kevorkian's nephew. Crist only eats once a day and he's a poor tipper.
Death by committee has arrived.
I still can't believe Florida did this to a human being. Florida is to blame.
At the press conference, the ME said death due to dehydration. Did his written report state "unknown"? The M.E. flip flopped.
