It sounded vaguely familiar when Republican gubernatorial candidate Paula Dockery announced today that she won the endorsement of fellow state Sen. Nancy Detert. Turns out that Detert has endorsed in the governor’s race, just another candidate.

In July, about four months before Dockery entered the race, Republican Bill McCollum announced that Detert, a Venice Republican and head of the Senate K-12 Committee, was part of his extensive “Statewide Campaign Leadership Team”.

A McCollum spokeswoman said Detert told the campaign about her intention to join Dockery’s effort in November, when she accompanied Dockery to the state elections office to file official campaign papers.
