We had another Tom(Gallagher)running,(and I voted for him) but he lost big, so Feeney might not have made much of a difference. Is Davis really that bad? If so I may have to vote for Crist anyway, although my opinion of him and the Florida GOP in general is not high right now.
Gallagher's campaign was dreadful and was too tied to KH's flawed candidacy, which was why he would've been the worst (of the two) general election candidates. Feeney might've been a good "3rd choice" (and given that he's a Congressman like Davis, would've been on equal footing).
As for Davis, his ACU rating for 2004 & 2005 was a "4" (and he has been moving leftward every year he has been in office). His votes put him in the esteemed company of Congressman and Impeached former Federal Judge Alcee Hastings and he makes Kendrick Meek (who scored a 9) look like a right-winger. Even Nelson's ACU rating is a 20, so that gives you an idea of Davis's radical leftist moonbat voting record.
At the very least, Crist as Governor would have the opportunity to appoint more Republicans to the State Supreme Court, which currently only has 2 (out of 7) on it.
