MIAMI — It's a late Friday night in a Little Havana restaurant when Luther "Luke" Campbell's campaign volunteer suggests announcing to the handful of other diners that a candidate for Miami-Dade County mayor is in their midst.

The former rapper nods in agreement, then jokingly reconsiders as the curly-haired volunteer walks away. Her short-shorts are demure by Miami standards, even practical on a humid night, but maybe the older couple she's approaching will get the idea that his campaign is about booty shaking.

"I'm a changed man!" Campbell says, laughing with three other male volunteers at his table.

The former 2 Live Crew frontman is best known for raunchy rap albums, mostly in the 1980s and 1990s, that were among the first to boast parental advisory stickers, as well as R- and X-rated videos. His legal battles defended freedom of speech, including a U.S. Supreme Court victory that secured an artist's right to parody others' material.

And don't forget about that other former Florida govenor that kind of help his older brother win the White House back in 2000.

Be as it may, I don't doubt that Florida politicians are over corrupt like Louisiana politicians. At least with Luke Campbell, you know exactly what you're getting.
