University of Florida President W. Kent Fuchs talks with reporters about Richard Spencer's planned speech on Thursday in his office in Gainesville, Fla. on Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2017.")
Winner of the week
Kent Fuchs. A white supremacist’s speech at the University of Florida was neither a victory for the First Amendment, for hate, for tolerance nor for the university. But UF president Fuchs handled a volatile predicament about as well as anyone could have.
Loser of the week
Andrew Gillum. Thanks to an FBI probe into Tallahassee City Hall, the Tallahassee mayor and Democratic candidate for governor has struggled for months to convince people that he remains a viable contender. Tallahassee faces a serious violent crime problem, including shootings last weekend that hospitalized six people. Leon County Commissioner Bill Proctor had a valid question: “Why is our mayor running for governor and our communities need our mayor right now? . . . Stop running for governor and just be our mayor for the next month or so.”
