Chairman Bense?

We're hearing a fair amount of Buzz that House Speaker Allan Bense is the most likely next state GOP Chairman. "I'd be happy to serve if the party wanted me,'' he told us the other day.

When we noted that he's never had a reputation for partisan gun slinging, Bense remarked that Floridians don't care for extremes and that he's a fellow who doesn't listen to Rush Limbaugh or Michael Moore.
