I would like to know why the voters who disapprove of Scott are unhappy.

I think he is doing a great job, especially with his jobs and training agenda. There is now a surplus in the State treasury, a fact which aggravates the progressive mind set. Speeches are made each day in the well, urging the Governor to spend the surplus on some cockamamie liberal "need". They went nuts when he and the legislators rolled back Charlie Chris' hike on auto registration fees, and the 15% annual increase in school tuition.

Like the ad says, "Charlie Chris, good politician, lousy Governor".

Scott is also planning great things for the cruise ship facilities in Cocoa and titusville.

Typical of other good Republicans, Scott is a good manager first. Something about which Charlie Chris would know nothing.

No Scott fan here, but he’s done a number of good things. He’s been much more fiscally responsible than either of his predecessors. He cleaned up the mess left during the recession with an economy that was really in a bad place and he’s done a number of things to make it more business friendly. The results are there to see. I also dislike a number of things that he’s done and don’t have a particularly high regard for him, however, he’s by far the best option.

I remember Gov. Charlie Christ loving Obama when he came down to announce the Florida High Speed Rail in January 2010. Here was the $2Billion to build from Tampa to Orlando with plans to extend to the east coast and then to Miami. When Rick Scott became Governor, he cancelled the whole thing and had to fight to keep it dead.

The proponents still say it would be built by now, and be self-supporting. The experience with California would appear to argue otherwise!

Now the RINOs will say it was Rick Scott’s support for in-state tuition for illegals that narrowed the gap. Lovely

The government is relying on us to have to make those decisions.

This is why noting ever changes other than to get worse.

This is why I have reached a point where if a person has done nothing to earn or deserve my vote, they won’t get it.

Being not as bad as the other guy no longer merits consideration to me.

They are both bad.

And FL is already full of moonbats.

It’s time to learn or crash into the wall. Really, I’ve had it.

Crist sounds like a reason to vote for Scott. An abstention is a vote for Crist.

Yes, that was unfortunate choice of phrase, given Charlie's companionship choices..

But there is good news, too. Mrs. Crist is taking beard lessons from Michelle, and Charlie may be able to get this behind him.

Also in Charlie's defense, he does not use Man-Tan to achieve that marvelous over-all colour. It's Cabot's Colonial Maple Stain #4, available at Home depot.

Hey if Crist blows this one he will be very rare political animal indeed, one that has lost a major election running as a Republican, then as an independent, and finally as a democrat!

And it's one...two...three strikes you're out...

For those of you still up North, Morgan and Morgan would be practicing somewhere near Court St. NYC. We are bombarded with their advertisements here in FLA..

No, Crist isn’t a reason to vote for Scott.

I’m not playing this game anymore.

If Scott can’t provide me a reason to vote for Scott, then I’m not voting for Scott.

If Scott loses to Crist because Scott sucks, oh well.

If the GOP loses to the democrats because the GOP sucks, oh well.

Time to stop sucking or lose.

Simple as that.

You just go ahead and sit home and play with yourself.
Someone else will take up your slack.

Your mocking me isn’t going to make me vote for your guy.

He either earns my vote, or he doesn’t, and so far he hasn’t done a damn thing.

It’s up to him, not you, so shut up.

Make many converts with that technique?

Because I see and hear more and more folks say they won't vote for liberal republicans.
