Forgot to add...Morgan hired Charlie Crist...
C’mon Joe, you KNEW this was going to happen when it won the court battle. I’m already on edge about losing Scott to Crist.
Crist has an agenda, and he WILL reverse Florida’s gains under Scott.
You can laugh at them because they do not know what they are praying for. Also you can cry for the Country because the Country knows what these sobs are doing to it.
Hopefully, dems will stay home....
