Buzz: Baby Gaetz could have worthy competition for Daddy Gaetz’s senate seat

Our sources are telling us that former State Sen. Durell Peaden is considering a run for Senate President Don Gaetz’s seat next year. The senate president terms out of office in 2014.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fort Walton Beach) has announced that he is running for his father’s seat and has, so far, successfully frightened away any competitors.

Peaden is a different story. He is the darling of the NRA and has huge name recognition in the district.

This one will be fun to watch.
