Davischair
Remember that eBay auction? The empty chair appears to have been bought by these Young Republicans, who waited outside a Cape Coral community center to heckle Jim Davis as he came and went.

Davis was unfazed, appearing before an enthusiastic crowd of at least 100. He continued his line of attack on Charlie Crist and outlined his own plans to lower property insurance premiums and cut property taxes by $1-billion. Former Gov. Bob Graham said Davis is clearly the man for the job but warned heavy turnout is a must. "Frankly friends, if we have 10 percent turnout (like the primary) Jim Davis is not going to be elected governor." He asked the audience to raise their right hands and commit to contacting 25 people, urging them to vote.
