TALLAHASSEE -- Republican Tom Gallagher is betting his political life on an appeal to Christian and social conservatives. And at least one of his supporters in those groups say their own future is at stake in Gallagher's quest to be governor.
Gallagher has earned the endorsement of Florida Right to Life, as well as vocal support of most social conservative leaders in the state. His goal: Win the hearts of Republicans most likely to get out and vote on Sept. 5.
I thought he was supposed to be fighting crime, not sneaking liberal groups like the AARP into the cabinet!
Crist is not a conservative. All we need is a little truthyness about Crist. He's a republican in name only.
Crist doesn't even know what an average Floridian is. He's out of touch because he's been pampered his entire life and socially promoted by handlers. I look forward to Tom Gallagher's new tv commercials. I hope they take it all the way. There's so much people don't know about Crist and I hope the gloves are off once and for all.
Go, get him, Gallagher!
Crist's football team from St. Pete High is VOTING FOR TOM GALLAGHER. Crist became the Captain of the football team only because his dad was on the school board. Dr. Crist ordered the school board to make Charlie Captain of St. Pete High's football team. The captain who was demoted is voting for Tom Gallagher and so are other players.
After Dr. Crist made his son football Captain, St. Pete High's Coach was so ticked off that he quit and went over to Dixie Hollins High and Dixie Hollins became the winningest team in the area.
Charlie's dad is still pampering him and so is his sister. I want a man to be governor who is a proven administrator, not a guy who doesn't even own real property. Crist says he's the poorest guy in the race. Well, I don't want someone like that to be governor. His dad does his finances for him (his allowance). If Charlie's that poor, he's got no business handling taxpayer's money. Poor Charlie, admitted he was poor. Remember Bill Clinton didn't own a home either. Put it altogether - he's not like real Floridians.
Adam Walsh, the son was murdered way before Crist oozed his way into our lives. John Walsh is the father unless Crist is getting endorsements from heaven which is highly unlikely.
your 7. Don't be overconfident. You don't want to have to eat your hat in November.
Or in September for that matter. St. Pete Times, the ultra-liberal rag endorsed Crist. They also endorsed Al Gore and John Kerry. They always endorse liberals. They know Crist's true colors.
Gallagher's got a new ad team. They're from California and right now, it's all good. Neither local newspaper covered Crist or Gallagher today. I guess the papers are runnin' out of material and Gallagher as underdog is helping him rather than hurting him.
Terri Schiavo breathed the air like you do. She was not a farce, she was a human being. Crist let her die worse than an animal. Are you for disabled people being exterminated? Charlie Crist is. Are you for protecting corrupt judges and law enforcement? Charlie Crist is.
When asked about it, Greer said in public, "I dunno."
A real fabulous orator the judge with the poison pen is. That Greer is a republican is the biggest grossout of all time.
I just know I don't want Crist protecting our borders. Crist already said in the first debate that he would "let the feds do it."
HOW SCARY IS THAT? Let the feds do it? The bureaucracy of the federal govt over leadership? No, no, no.
They also had millions praying for them, and those millions also vote.
Spin the political side and talk poll points all you want. Some of us recognize moral absolutes while others just recognize win/lose.
I hope to God for the sake of my fellow conservatives in FL that this Gallagher wins. Charlie Crist is a despicable man. Shame on Jeb for his support of him over the years.
Tom Gallagher has a shot at this.
Crist is conducting a poll. Well, well. They must be concerned if they have to measure their support now! All the talk of a slam dunk was just talk.
If Floridians including Jeb Bush don't vote for Tom Gallagher, all the good that Jeb did will go down the drain.
Crist wants to be governor but he doesn't know how to be governor or why. He just wants it.
I'm not really endorsing him, just stating what I think is pretty obvious. Charlie has the "granny appeal" that it takes to win in Florida. It's unfortunate, but you don't win in Florida without "granny appeal" and Gallagher doesn't have it.
I would be happy if he didn't endorse Crist. That speaks volumes.
The word unctuous just comes to mind when I watch and listen to him.
Regarding Charlie Crist & his right to die lobbyists/judges who Crist said were his heroes: Wait until granny is put in a nursing home and her kids want to give granny a morphine cocktail. She'll die way before her time of an overdose because Crist would never act like a leader, saving a life.
Pinellas County (Crist country) is Death Central, a destination for people who want to bump off their seniors.

If anyone does a post to me to "prove it", I say, do your own research. Finally, I am telling the truth about Charlie Crist's allies from the euthanasia movement.
Tom Gallagher is the only pro-life candidate for Governor, the only one.
He hasn't endorsed either Gallagher or Crist. Someone did a post at FR saying Jeb endorsed Crist. It was false.
...She said she had a couple questions.
The first one was ...who would I vote for...
...Crist or Gallagher
When I said Gallagher, she didn't bother to ask me the 2nd question, and hung up rather abruptly.
