What should I know about Charlie Crist, running for gov. of Fla.
Several impressive ads out touting him as a real super hero but I bet there is another side to that story...
Since I live in the Keys, we have little truck with those meanland politicians, so I am in a need to know mode. :dunce:

1. Stop by when you have to evacuate for Chris and we'll talk
about it. Just kidding, haven't heard anything good about him.

6. I've had tickets for Disney World for six months because my
granddaughter is coming down for a visit, so conveniently I will be in Orlando all next week. Good planning, huh??? B-)

10. My daughter, her husband and children were stuck inside their
hotel in Orlando for two days during the storm in June. It was the Nickleodeon, so the kids hardly noticed, my daughter said it was like spending two days at Chuckie Cheese. Hope you do better.

13. OMG
:rofl: :rofl:

That is funny! But I bet it strained her sense of humor...

I have a time share condo at a large resort, so there is loads of stuff to do, even in inclement weather!

4. Yes, I do know.
I was a delegate to the Florida State Convention and I met both Jim Davis and Rod Smith and listened to the inspiring things they had to say in their speeches.

I tend to lean toward Smith, but like them both.

I know darn well who to vote for, but I need some ammunition when I'm asked who NOT to vote for! :)

16. Here In Florida... We're Screwed
Davis tracks better than Smith against Crist, but Crist Tracks better on the other side. And then we're stuck with B. Nelson! Not as bad as Lieberman, but not exactly my kind of Democrat.

But at the risk of lacking all Unity... what shall we do??

17. Davis is backed by all the big shots.
Bob Graham is running his campaign and Max Cleland is going around campaigning for him. But I haven't seen any Davis ads yet, Rod has a few out there.
Rod really blows Davis out of the water when you see and hear them side by side, but I think the money is riding on Davis. Oh well, it will be interesting.

Yes, Nelson needs someone to raise his bloodpressure a little, like Lamont is doing to Lieberman. Nelson should pay attention to what is going on over there!

18. Nelson Is Just Plain Lucky this Time Around....
For the life of me I don't know why someone didn't actually challenge him! I almost think he could have lost a Primary!

And yes, Davis almost has it sewed up from what I'm seeing. But then, I did say we really don't have a choice. Perhaps in the end, NONE of it matters.... we still have major election fraud issues!

Nothing has been fixed, at least not in my county!

12. Second time I've heard that. It's the hypocrisy that bothers me.

14. I agree. The hypocrisy sticks outs like a sore thumb.
I would never vote for Charlie Crist. I think he has been an absolute useless Attorney General too.

It's almost laughable that the Repugs don't have anyone better than Crist to run in Florida. I think out of the 3-4 Repugs trying to run, Crist is the most favorable of them all -- and that is just sad, IMO.

11. A while ago maybe six weeks or so
Edited on Wed Aug-02-06 05:56 PM by never_get_over_it
some right wing religous freak case announced that GOD wants Crist to be Governor - which is enough for me not to vote for him - not to mention he wants to continue on with Jeb's successful programs, that he is a repunk and I WILL NEVER vote for one of them and I'm sure a million other reasons to just say no to Charlie Crist.

On edit: back in end of May
