Few Floridians pay close attention to what goes on in Tallahassee, except: 1) maybe, when the Legislature is in regular session; 2) if there's a gubernatorial election on the horizon; or 3) if Florida's governor is doing something stupid.
It would not be a stretch to say most Floridians cannot name the current Senate president or the House speaker, much less the governor. And surely, you would be hard pressed to find anyone, except his family members, who could name the state's lieutenant governor.
But Florida Speaker-to-be Richard Corcoran, a Republican from Pasco County, shook the Tallahassee and media trees last week when he delivered his acceptance speech as the speaker designate.
