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.

As I said, I am certain he as legitimate issues.
But the press releases by his team and supporting groups almost all center around Life.
It is the fault of he and his campaign that he is seen as a one trick pony.

The web site that had Charlie Crist's picture getting his AARP card this past July 2006, has deleted it for some off reason. No matter, I found it elsewhere.

I have a problem with Charlie and the AARP because he partnered with them in his Fla AG Office. They are a bunch of fifty something liberals.

Right click and save the AARP Crist photo before it disappears too.

Not at all. Gallagher is also the only candidate who can be trusted on spending. He's the only one who's fought ridiculous initiatives and Charlie's promise of $5,000 per child for adoptive couples is not only recklass, but also dishonest, as Charlie knows it would never pass.

Crist also supports gay adoptions.

Crist has dropped 10 points in one week. Papers in his own St. Petersburg have announced that a real race is on. Where's the coverage?

I agree with you. Christ is certainly the better candidate than Gallagher. And you are right about needing the votes of the elderly. A lot of seniors were pissed that Terri's law would require them to completely redo their living wills and' also that the law was retroactive. A lot of people I know in FL (and I'm less than a mile from the Hospice where Terri was) were also upset that the governor and legislature stepped into a family court matter. But that doesn't matter to many people here. Anyone running solely on a soild social conservative platform is unelectable as governor of FL. Moderates see it as pandering.
