Yoo-Hoo, Annette Taddeo: Dwight Bullard Is the Wrong Man to Toy With

Dwight Bullard isn't about to be used by anybody, even the woman gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist chose as his running mate before the primary.

Sources close to the Miami-Dade Democratic Executive Committee claim Annette Taddeo wants the state senator from Miami to replace her as chair of the county party. It's a "peace offering" for the African-American community, they say, because Taddeo knows Bullard is "beloved by the community."

But, wait! He shouldn't get too comfortable.

If Charlie doesn't win, Taddeo wants her old job back and it's "take a hike, Dwight."

Read Leslie Wimes' revealingWednesday Women on the Move column, "Annette Taddeo Tries To Appease African-Americans By Pushing Dwight Bullard As A Place Holder?"

Bullard could have the job, apparently, as long as Taddeo can "waltz back in" if she and Charlie don't go all the way to Tallahassee in November.

So much for the importance of the black community.

Wimes asked Bullard if he could accept the position as a maybe-temporary, place-holder job. Here's what he told her:

"My commitment to the party goes beyond just the primary. Any leadership position I take on is going to be 100 percent me. Im not a mouthpiece for any particular candidate. I have core principles and values and those will be reflected in my leadership. That being said, I still stand by my support of Sen. Nan Rich."

Say what you want about Sen. Dwight Bullard, just don't ever question his principles or commitment.
