State Sen. Dan Gelber may not have the knack for raising big money as do fellow U.S. Senate prospects Allen Boyd or Ron Klein, or the geographic base and statewide network of Alex Sink. But Gelber has Steve Schale, Florida's hottest Democratic consultant. From Schale's Facebook page:

"Dan's life values and his experience working across the aisle to get things done will suit him well in Washington and serve the state well. He understands the political and ideological nuances of Florida and was the most successful house caucus leader in terms of election wins that our party has ever seen, proving he knows how to win elections. But moreover, if the race is one against Jeb Bush (a man that once said that Dan would make a good Governor), Dan is uniquely capable to carry the torch. A skilled prosecutor and uncannily prepared on the issues, there is no one better prepared to go toe to toe with Jeb Bush, who has proven in previous elections to be one of the best, if not the best political debater in the nation."

Btw, anyone else noticing the growing number of Facebook groups for Florida pols and/or their admirers? We see Jeb Bush for Senate, Draft Dave Aronberg, Draft Alex Sink for governor, Marco Rubio for Senate. What else is out there?
