When Democratic attorney general candidates Sen. Dave Aronberg and Sen.Dan Gelber hit a Pasco County fund-raiser tonight, County Commissioner Michael Cox will have already picked sides.

Cox backs Aronberg, who has helped the county Democrats raise money and gave time to Cox when Cox has gone to Tallahassee on insurance issues.

"Aronberg is an extremely sharp guy and he shows a lot of talents," Cox said, who quipped this about his own relevance in their contest: "I’m just a county commissioner. I’m nobody special."

The county Democrats have their Chiles-Graham Dinner at 7 p.m. tonight at Heritage Springs Country Club in Trinity.
