Tom has my vote, no doubt about it. The pro-choice issue alone is enough for me to discount Crist, although there are several others. He was great as our Insurance Commissioner, putting his foot down when after all the hurricanes, the insurance companies wanted to either pull our of FL entirely or escalate our premiums out of sight. He has also done well as our state CFO. I too wish Jeb could run for a third term.

For the last several weeks, all I've heard on the local radio stations is John Walsh (America's Most Wanted) stumping for Crist. Admittedly, I don't know a whole lot about this guy...but his commercials seem to be giving him quite a bit of visibility.

I'm voting for Gallagher, Crist would be a big step down from Jeb.

Dear GOPsupporterFL,

Please contact "davidosborne". He has a TOM GALLAGHER PING LIST. If you haven't already, please join davidosborne's ping list.

There are plenty of freepers here for Tom Gallagher. We just haven't all been properly introduced.

Charlie Crist isn't even a moderate and he's accepting big bucks from democrat fundraisers held for him.

The media is trying to portray Gallagher as far right which he isn't. CRIST IS FAR LEFT.

Gallagher is right where a conservative republican should be on the issues!

TOM GALLAGHER PING LIST contact "davidosborne". Get non-freepers on board too! (Hi, minutegal).

This is from an email NewsMax.com sends out. They're backing Charlie. So am I. --

Throughout his career Crist has been a fighter for innovative, positive change. As a state senator, Crist fought for and passed the STOP (Stop Turning Out Prisoners) legislation that required prisoners to serve at least 85 percent of their sentences.

He also co-sponsored legislation to implement the charter schools bill, which gives parents the freedom to pick the best schools for their children.

As commissioner of education, Crist supported early reading programs to better prepare children to read at grade level when they enter school.

As attorney general, Crist helped draft, and worked to pass, tougher price gouging and looting laws; supported stronger penalties for identity thieves; and spearheaded landmark legislation requiring prescription drugs to be tracked from the manufacturer to the pharmacy to ensure drug safety.

He also created an innovative program to aid victims of domestic violence, and was named the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence's 2005 Advocate of the Year.

He has vowed that as governor, he will promote business in Florida and appoint conservative, not activist, judges to the courts. Despite Gallagher's claims to the contrary, Crist is solidly pro-life and supports a constitutional amendment to define marriage< as being between a man and a woman.

If you need to hear more, go to NEWSMAX.com And for our second ammentdment supporters -- also from NewMax:

Crist has also won an impressive list of endorsements... the National Rifle Association, whose past President Marion Hammer said "no one has been stronger" than Crist in support of Second Amendment, self-defense, and anti-crime issues.

Crist is a establishment Republican and likes to be in the welcome list of liberal newspapers in Southflorida, unlike Gallagher who tries to appeal to ordinary Florida residents.
