Hold on, I'm getting some clarification from the dedicated 40 person Riptide newsroom. Ok. Apparently, it's not that Charles Bronson, it's only our agriculture commissioner. I think he's the guy whose signature you see on stickers at the gas pump. Yeah, that one.

Bronson, a Republican, is preparing for a governors run should Crist vacate the office, despite being not that well known.

"Everybody says that, but I got more votes than

Charlie Crist. My name recognition is pretty high, and

that's a big part of it. My name is on licenses for 44,000 gas pumps," Bronson tells the Tallahassee Democrat.

"Charles Bronson - My name is on gas pumps," should make an excellent campaign slogan.
