Larry Biddle Member of Darden Rice's Team

The Alex Sink campaign used the internet better than any Florida local or state campaign. The reason for that is Larry Biddle. Pinellas County Commission candidate Darden Rice has hired Biddle to increase her internet presence.

This is a sign that Rice is serious. I scoffed at serial candidate Joe Redner for hiring Kelly Benjamin. Canidates are not going to get elected by hiring a former (and arrested) pirate radio operator. Rice received the endorsements of Rick Kriseman and Darryl Rouson because she is running a credible campaign.

Rice will face Republican Nancy Bostock in the general election. Rice's currently is the Southeast project manager of the Sierra Club.
