Davis' list includes:
David H. Bludworth, Former Fifteenth Judicial Circuit State Attorney and Crist supporter for the 2002 attorney general's race.
Alvin R. "Pete" Carpenter, retired CEO of CSX, who raised $100,000 for President Bush's 2000 election but opposed him in 2004. Carpenter served on Gov. Jeb Bush's workers compensation commission and on the advisory council for military base closings. In 2004, Carpenter told the St. Petersburg Times he was voting for John Kerry because "when I look at these deficits that seem to have no end and the handling of Iraq - everything from the pre-attack intelligence gathering to the post-invasion handling of Iraq - this administration is either sophomoric, or inept, or something awful."
