I don't really care if you believe me or not on that.
Why don't you contact Cty Commissioner Ronnie Duncan and see who he's voting for. It's Tom Gallagher.

Crist would not support government involvement in end-of-life decisions, siding with the ACLU in criticizing Governor Bush's actions in the Terri Schiavo case
Dear Pro-Life Friends: I wanted to take a few minutes to explain why I am backing Tom Gallagher for Governor. Let me start by telling you that I was the Special Projects Coordinator for Concerned Women for America while I lived In Pinellas County. I used to chase Charlie Crist around, to try and get him to give me a straight answer regarding the sanctity of human life, he always said "I am personally opposed to abortion" I would call him on this and say that is not a pro-life answer. He would just smile and never directly answer my hard questions. This has gone on for years. I have been hosting the National Day of Prayer at our State Capitol for the past 12 years and moved to Tallahassee 7 years ago. I have had many occasions to talk with Charlie and with Tom. Tom was a wild, playboy, moderate pro-choice Republican for years and made everyone crazy. Then he met Laura Wilson, she lead him to Christ and they got married. He slowly began to change his life and his thinking. I have known Tom and Laura since 1999, Columba Bush introduced me to Laura. Laura is a born again Baptist and strongly pro-life. She became my prayer partner and I have been in their home many times and watched their lives...long before this campaign. I know Tom's priest and Tom has gone on men's retreats and has gotten into God's Word and I have watched how strong he has become on pro-life issues and his love for the Lord has grown since he married Laura (of course he still has a few rough edges). I stand by his conversion and his stand because it is real. Charlie, however has never given me a straight answer in all the years I have known him, although he is amazingly good at connecting with people and making them feel good. I am the National Area Leader for the National Day of Prayer Task Force and I am over the Southeast Region of the US.
I have refrained from having Charlie speak at the Capitol Rally due to his true stand on family issues. His office has called many times asking that he speak. Last year I finally asked him (after much pressure) to read the President's Proclamation at he rally, which he did. This year (again due to the fact that he would be the only cabinet member not praying and much pressure) I finally asked him to read Dr. Henry Blackaby's "Prayer for the Nation" ( a strong repentance prayer), he agreed. I introduced him as reading this prayer and much to my dismay, he stood up and didn't read this prayer and proceeded to read his own prayer. Next thing I know, a 527 group has his picture with the National Day of Prayer banner in the background behind Charlie with his head bowed in a campaign brochure. This was amazing to me, I was pressured to put him up there for a prayer photo op. I can't believe that he didn't do what he committed to do and did his own thing at a prayer rally for our state and nation. This is just one example of why I do not trust him. Dr. James Dobson doesn't endorse in primaries and this year he has endorsed a few candidates, Tom being one of them, because of the strong differences in the candidates regarding life, marriage and stem cell research.
Dr. Dobson is a strong advocate for the family and he stands with Tom. I hope you will stand with Tom as well. Tom will make a great governor and Laura a great first lady, who I believe will do the right thing for the right reason. Over 100 Christian leaders across our state are standing with Tom because of the real strong differences in the two men. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Tom's story of redemption through Jesus Christ is the real thing! >>> Blessings, >>> >>> Pam Olsen
