Florida State GOP Candidates Avoid President

PINELLAS PARK - With President Bush arriving in Pensacola today to campaign for Florida Republican candidates, late Sunday those candidates appeared to be about to deliver a startling snub.

Of the five GOP candidates for statewide office in Florida, only one - Senate candidate Katherine Harris - definitely planned to appear with Bush, while three - Charlie Crist, Agriculture Commissioner Charles Bronson, and attorney general candidate Bill McCollum - definitely won't attend the Panhandle rally.

Chief financial officer candidate Tom Lee had not decided as of Sunday afternoon, a spokesman said.
