Even though I am supporting Crist, I would prefer for Gallagher to stay in. Having a primary opponent will cause the press to pay attention to the GOP primary, rather than simply focusing on the contested Democratic race.

I won't support Crist.

Today's Tampa Tribune, Metro Section August 9, 2006: Charlie Crist's dad handles Charlie's checkbook. I don't know any fifty year old whose parent handles their checkbook and finances. What kind of 50 year old does that? Same article: Charlie Crist sunbathes on the top of the roof at his St. Pete condo to get tan. What a narcissist. No wonder he looks older than Gallagher.

Seen dating Katie Pemble a banker. LOL Maybe Katie can show Charlie how to write a check or how to bank on line. Charlie's dad shouldn't be handling Charlie's finances. A fifty year old man doesn't even handle his own money and he doesn't own a home.

Bill Clinton didn't own a home either.

What kind of fifty year old who's supposed to be governor material doesn't handle their own finances? He's not a grownup unless his stops sunbathing and takes care of his own finances. I certainly don't want him delving into matters of finance when his daddy still handles his finances for him? Taxpayer dollars in the hands of a guy who has no home and doesn't take care of his own finances. Daddy does it!

People, wake up. Crist is not yet a man. His daddy and his teacher's union sister are his ENABLERS. Is that where Florida wants to go????

Daddy handles his finances and sis whispers sweet nothings in his ear straight from the teachers' union bosses.

Gallagher is the better choice for Governor. Crist has RINO characteristics.

This is VERY strange news. Almost sounds like a feeler to Crist camp.

With Crist's possible "lifestyle" problems, what the heck is going on here?

Gallaghers' dream is a crock

Tom Gallaghers' latest TV ad includes "Tom Gallagher won't let offshore insurance companies hold your home hostage. Tom Gallagher, fighting for the American dream."

Tom Gallagher is being economical with the truth.

He looks after insurers at the expense of Floridians;

Insurance insiders know that for three years he and his Department of Financial Services danced with White Mountains Insurance Group Ltd, a Bermuda-based financial services holding company with major interests in the reinsurance market, and even today Gallagher refuses to enforce the law against these offshore pirates who seem to think they are immune from prosecution as they blatantly violate Florida's statutes every day.

Sirius International, a White Mountains subsidiary reinsurer is unlicensed in Florida yet has underwritten unlawful medical insurance plans in Florida for more than 5 years. The DFS investigated them for 3 years before deciding the company was acting unlawfully, but apparently chose not to fine them when their illegal activities were exposed

Steven Fass (photo left) is President of White Mountains. He knows Sirius is unlawful in Florida yet refuses to instruct them to stop writing there. His lawyers have met several times with DFS officials and finally they withdrew their application for a license in Florida in March '06, but even that acknowledgment they have no authority didn't stop them underwriting.

Despite clear violations of Florida's Insurance Code and Statutes by Sirius International Gallagher has not allowed his staff to force them to stop doing business in Florida, take any regulatory against them, or levy any monetary penalties.

Gallagher is cozying up to this offshore insurer and letting them get away with stealing taxes from Florida and writing millions of dollars worth of illegal insurance - is that his vision of fighting for the American dream?

Gallagher should be impeached and removed from the post of Treasurer for his massive wrongdoings with White Mountains.

It's clear that Gallagher is definitely not Governor material.

It wasn't clear in your post, did you say Crist's father handles his finances?

Like Sen. Connie Mack and Rep. Allan Bense? The NRA? The Florida Medical Association?

In other words, Crist thinks gay marriages should be recognized. He probably also thinks gays reproduce, don't spread disease, and should adopt children to abuse.
