I will sadly be voting Crist. Crist is that bad of a candidate. Fortunately for him he is going up against Scott. Crist is not a democrat and is exactly what is wrong with politics. Scott is just an all around shitty human being. Crist is also not a slick politician. Far from it. He has pulled the wool over very few peoples eyes. He is simply a little better than Scott and when we are talking about something so important of course the lesser of the two evils deserves the vote.
