The democrats are a very weak party down here now. When I look at Crist, all I see is Mark Foley or Jim McGreevy from NJ. If that situation occurs here, all the hard work republicans have done in this state to build a strong conservative party will disintegrate.
The entire time he is in office I will be waiting for the other shoe to drop. He is already pro civil unions and is not a pro-life candidate. Also, low taxes are not his forte. Now this snub.
As far as the appointments go, you have given a valid reason to vote for republicans, but I have no guarantee that Crist won't try to sneak Souters into the SCoFLA or any where else. Also with democrats, when the next hurricane cycle hits, I believe the running in circles and screaming ala Blanco in La. will be their downfall.
I can't help but believe that Mr. Crist is the worst possible thing that could happen to the governorship. It's just a very hard thing for me to do. I'd say let the RINOs vote him in. I'm having a extremely difficult time supporting him with my vote.
Sadly, I agree.
