We're divided right now and it can't be fixed, sorry.

According to Fox 35, Charlie Crist is the winner of the Republican Primary for Governor.
Time for us to get behind him.

"I'd be willing to bet that some of the people posting about Crist being unmarried at 50, childless, and living in a house they don't own might be descriptive of some of the people who were poking at him for it.
"
Now that was a really badly-written sentence. Let me try it again:
I'd be willing to bet that some of the people posting about Crist being unmarried at 50, childless, and living in a house they down own might recognize something similar in their own lives.
There, that makes more sense. Sorry for the poor sentence. I try to write clearly.
I know all about switiching to Indy. My husband did it this year, broke my heart, but he could not take the excessive spending done by Reps. I could not factually argue with him about it since the spending has been atrocious!
I understand your point about not voting for CC, sticking by ones principals is something to admired.
Heh... I'm still waiting for a response on that issue. I doubt one will be forthcoming, though.
"I'm reaching out to the RNC even thought I have left them cold."
You have left them cold, floriduh voter. That's why they're no longer paying attention to you. When Crist becomes governor, they'll remember what you said about him. Trust me...they'll remember.
You might as well forget about working for any GOP campaigns in the future. They don't need folks who fling feces as a campaign strategy.
Crist is STILL not a murderer.
However, I don't think those who are being bashed for openly discussing rumors about Crist would be bashed if those rumors were about Democrats. If the rumor was about Democrats, many, many Freepers would be participating and seeking to spread the rumor.

Well, let's hope that some more supremes retire and the POTUS selects some conservative judges.
"However, I don't think those who are being bashed for openly discussing rumors about Crist would be bashed if those rumors were about Democrats. If the rumor was about Democrats, many, many Freepers would be participating and seeking to spread the rumor."
Living in a house you don't own or one that was given to you by your mom could apply to many freepers, I am sure. Inheritance can be a good thing...:)at least I thought it was...:)
But Gallagher also said in the first debate (something the know-nothings from out of state certainly don't know) is that he firmly believed Crist would be a better choice than either Davis or Smith.
So I'll vote for Crist in November; he'll be beholden to the Republican base of the state, and if/when he gets out of line there will be a constituency to answer to.
Crist will probably come out early for a McLame candidate for President--if not McLame himself, then a McLame wannabe. I will not cheer that moment. But there are other, more mundane things regarding the workings of government, where Crist ought to excel.
He'll have a lot of social issues to deal with, particularly if Castro kicks the bucket while he's governor. We'll see what this fellow is made of, and hopefully it'll be up to the task.
And one more thing: it is legitimate to look at a man's life experience to determine whether he is qualified to hold an office. Meeting the "requirements" of an office doesn't mean a candidate is "qualified". The academically challenged among us will make them the same. The wise man or woman will not.
Thanks for that insight. I among those know-nothings from out of state), but I readily admit it and am always looking for insight from those who actually live in the state and pay attention to what is going on.
It is encouraging to know that the Republican base, which I assume is conservative, will help keep Crist in line.
I'm in the 12th District...Putnam is my Rep...great guy...don't know who he's running against in November, but they're gonna get crushed! GO ADAM!!!
Is it an open primary? Dems will vote in a "R" primary for the most liberal candidate.
No open primaries here. No one who wasn't registered Republican voted on that ballot last night. I'd say we have no one to blame but ourselves, but I voted for Gallagher.
You're lucky. We have Congresman Young but he's going to retire someday.
the flinger is the nominee.
DAng. That sucks.
They may have been telling lies about Crist, but it was done in the name of Jesus, PRAISE DA LAWD!
CHARLIE CRIST LET MY DAUGHTER DIE:

Had that guy been governor in 2003, Terri Schiavo would have died back then.
