FYI~ I have lived in the northend of the county for well over 60 years…all my life. I have seen lots of things I didn’t like…and some of the things, politically speaking, were not what they promised nor what they said, but the undercurrents behind these ’so-called’ leaders. Sometimes we just have to choose the lesser of the two evils and pray for the best. Regardless to their promises, in my opinion, if they are not Godly people, none of the rest really matters…on their own, without God’s guidance, they will not make good decisions for the people or this country..
Some of you defend Crist~ he never did anything for me…matter of fact, while he was governor, I addressed an important/urgent personal matter with him and asked for his help and/or advise and he disregarded it as tho’ it meant nothing to him…it was a life or death situation concerning a friend and because of his unconcern, my friend died… yes, he could have made a huge difference, but he chose not to. So, for those of you who choose him for your next governor and he wins, I hope you get what you are asking for….Yes, I know I’m just ‘one’ person, but no one is more or less important than the other…Just saying~

Harrison seems to believe we are too stupid to know to vote for Crist.
I bet Crist wouldn’t approve such open disdain for potential voters.
Who wants to side with the elitist?

I think a good place to start is voting out ALL retread politicians….does anyone doubt Crist is out for himself? He’s just a shameless, self motivated politician. I don’t doubt what the nay sayers say about Scott but don’t let Crist make a fool out of you….

Charlie has views on some things that I can not support. And will never support.
I don’t agree with all Scott has done. But from what I can see, has tried to do what he campaigned on. It looks as if a vote for Charlie might be a vote for Obama’s agenda. That I can not support.

@Suzette ~ I don’t know what plan your daughter is on, but you better look before you praise Obamacare too much. According to The Washington Times, the “Bronze Plan” premiums are expected to increase by 14% next year. The other plans will follow, I’m sure. If you want to verify this, check the following site:

Know your candidates. Know your issues. Don’t follow blindly because they are “your” party or because they are the incumbents.

Yes, Scott says he is for jobs, Charile goes further, he’s for the people. We retired folks don’t see the job thing as a problem. We see being micro-managed by this secretive gov. as being a big problem.
I have changed my mind on things dozens of times, why can’t people in government? Pam Bondi was Democrat and changed and she’s polished – makes my skin crawl.
As far as Obama, well more folks voted him in, so I guess if you say Crist like Obama, great! Our daughter is paying $100 less a month on Obamacare than on BCBS. Should she not love that? I’m so glad it’s called Obamacare cause people will always remember throughout history, that he gets the praise for that.

Charlie will do well amongst those incapable of thinking for themselves.

Rick Scott frankly looked petty and foolish in the last debate. He never answered questions directly, seemed evasive at times, and babbled incoherently when trying to explain why he did not step up on the stage. It has been just reported that Scott is now going to personally fund 22 million dollars of adds, the last weeks of his campaign. It seems the republican donations are starting to dry up after his recent performance. Many Republicans privately admit that 2nd debate just cost Rick Scott the election, and are beginning to hedge their bet. Crist is a native Floridian, not another outsider, and cares about the affects of climate warning and the people living here. Denying a couple million people health care and livable wage is not going over big with the struggling voters, many of whom lost their homes during the recession. Rick will need more than money, Rick needs a new Rick, to late for Scott to turn things around. The turnout will be epic, not because folks love Crist, they just hate Scott.
