GOP Gov Charlie Crist's approval ratings are very high, something like 65%+. (Same as Gov Jeb Bush when Jeb left office.) Gov Crist seems unfraid of doing things how he sees best. He's unafraid to lead -- and in that sense, I think he is very much like Gov Bush.

FYI. Peace. :)

What? He just proposed like a 10% raise to teachers. Milions to reduce class size. MIllions to 'global climate change' and you say the Dems hate him???

[jjw]

He's also unafraid to automatically restore felon voting rights.

Yeah, but are we headed toward the cliff? (not an easy item to find in Florida)

Good for Crist!
I wish NC had a better Governor.

...and the fact that Charlie drives the Terribots into apoplectic fits can only be a plus.

Nothing like Bush.

Bread and circuses, his policy is bread and circuses like the Roman empire. We the taxpayer will get the bill. You can't patronize people with money forever.

As far as the insurance crisis, close Citizens. Let insurance companies rate homes based on the conditions and the location. Some rates will go up, like houses on barrier islands or the shacks they mass produce in the giant walled communities like the Villages or that were in Goulds and Naranja in South Miami (obliterated by Andrew). Many will go down, like homes built well that have survived storms that are a not on waterfront.

The problem is that state insurance regulators can't control the companies after they allow them to charge based on the actual situation. You also can't get "relief" from a RINO like Crist.

"This simple fact reflects a challenge that we ignore at our own peril," Crist said. "I am persuaded that global climate change is one of the most important issues that we face this century."

Great. We elected Schwarzenegger. Anybody tried emailing him yet to see if he's accessible, like Jeb?

Just watch, Floridians. This guy will eventually propose ending the Save Our Homes law.

Correction: Gov. Crist is a political nightmare for Conservatives...my gay-dar also is pinging at the pics of Crist...is he a Log Cabin type of guy? What did he get elected to do? If he has already flipped this much, I see a severe case of remorse...Cadillac Deval meet Chrysler Crist.

Time to cut the ridiculously high property taxes.

[RockinRight]

Sounds like a RINO to me.

Congrats, Florida. You got a RINO loser Governor. What a shame.
