John Kennedy at the Post on Politics blog has this story about the Florida Democrat House leadership. Click title for link. Following the results of last Tuesday's election some are not happy with Representative Mark Pafford's leadership:
A Volusia County lawmaker said Friday said that he is challenging West Palm Beach Rep. Mark Pafford for the post of House Democratic Leader following the defeat of six members of the caucus in Tuesday’s elections.
Rep. Dwayne Taylor of Daytona Beach said Pafford must shoulder much of the responsibility for the losses, which gave House Republicans a super-majority and diminish even further the policy-making influence of outnumbered Democrats in the state Legislature.
“He didn’t have a plan,” Taylor said of Pafford. “I went to him before the elections and said, ‘I think we’re going to lose as many as 10 seats.’ He said, ‘Don’t worry about it. We’ve got a plan. We’ll be fine.'”
“Well, where was the plan?” Taylor said. “We lost six seats. Some of them we should’ve won.”
