Doesn't he sound more like Forest Gump or Pee Wee Herman than a strong leader? All his happy heart talk is quite unprofessional imo. He was repetitive too. I hope you can watch tonight. There's nothing on the Fla boards. I need to find a debate thread and see if they proclaim that happy heart won. IMO = Not!

DEBATE TEXT: TAMPA – Riding a wave of momentum in public polls that show the race "too close to call," Democratic nominee Jim Davis again bested Charlie Crist in a televised debate between the candidates for Florida governor. Davis won the debate the same way that he has attracted large groups of independent voters to his campaign: by driving home his commitment to changing Florida for the better. Crist, just as he has in the polls, stumbled during the debate as he struggled to defend the status quo.

"Florida families just can't afford to follow Charlie's advice to stay the course," said Davis. "I have a plan to bring changes that are important to Florida families like lowering property taxes, reducing insurance rates and overhauling the FCAT. By making these changes, we can keep our promise to Florida's families."

During the debate, Davis hammered away at what is emerging as the most significant difference between him and Crist. Davis has a plan to reduce hurricane insurance rates by 40 percent next year. Crist, on the other hand, has what Gov. Bush has described as "sounds good, but...won't work." Many observers have attributed Davis's surge in the polls to his ability to win the support of Floridians in both parties, particularly those who are concerned about rising insurance rates in Florida.

"Charlie Crist was silent while the insurance companies raised rates and denied claims," said Davis. "As governor, I will stand up to the insurance industry and reduce insurance rates by as much as 40 percent for many Floridians."

Now, be nice, Forrest Gump would be a great improvement over either candidate for governor.
