Tom Gallagher, man of leisure

Tom Gallagher seems a man with few concerns.

The former CFO and Republican gubernatorial candidate has been seen all over Tallahassee in recent days, sporting a wide smile and a new beard (think Al Gore, only not fat). He appears happy, even if unemployed.

Thursday morning Gallagher was at the corner of Monroe and College, wearing a blue polo, khakis, white tennis shoes and a Bluetooth earpiece. He opened the door to a brand-new silver Mercedes CLK 320 Cabriolet, dropped paperwork onto the seat, then popped a coin in the meter and walked off into the sunshine.

"I'm enjoying life," Gallagher told the Buzz. "I'm just enjoying life."
