His campaign slogan:

‘Third time’s a charm for Charlie’

OMG - Christ as my Congress-critter - woe is moi! This shows how RINOs like David Jolly are elected, they are still far better than the alternative. Since he, Jolly, is now running for Rubio’s US Senate seat [futile in my opinion!], we have the problem of redistricting and name recognition.

There is a very large Afro-American population center at the southern tip of the Pinellas County / Saint Petersburg. It was formerly included in Kathy Castor’s (D) CD14 but due to a Florida Supreme Court ruling that this was gerrymandering, it will almost certainly make the CD13 far more ‘D’ friendly.

Add to that mix that Sunshine Charlie is a former mayor of St.Pete and has name recognition and a deep desire to ‘serve the people’ and it will be difficult to defeat him (but not impossible!) Pray for us, please!

Did Crispy find some leftist hell hole of a District with the incumbent retiring? Probably right next door to Wack job Graysons district.

Charlie “I’m OK with slavery reparations” Crist.

Anyone who votes for this a-hole is a blithering idiot.

Presidential election year also, so the Gimmedats in Pinellas County will be bused to the polls. If Biden runs and gets the Obama get-out-the-vote machine, this seat is a goner.

People don’t understand how much Florida has changed demographically. I swear half of Puerto Rico is in Osceola, eastern Polk and St. Lucie counties.

Boy , back a few years ago I don't think DRats were allowed at the Key Club.
Things have changed since half of the Boca Raton NY crowd invaded Sarasota !

If the Republican in Congress don’t do a dramatic turnaround very soon and start vigorously fighting Leviathan, don’t worry about Crist, He will win along with a lot of other Democrats in a Congressional sweep that will be as big as the Republican sweep last time.

Maybe he’s running for Congress to be closer to Lindsey.
