As a Floridian (vs. Floridiot) I would suggest that Charlie "I have a Beard" Crist is more good news for the Democrats. I consider myself an independent and generally vote for a person-with-a-plan instead of a dysfunctional party-person. Once the press starts writing about Crist, with all due diligence assumed of course, the general public will discover that other than a marriage, his position has had no effect on the Florida economy or any other social aspect of life. He, Crist, has failed to meet, come close?, to addressing successfully a single pre-election "promise." He is all (not so much) show and very little go. I would suggest that the next Minnesota Dem Senator, Franken, is 100% more intelligent and capable than this George Hamilton wannabe. Good Luck pubs.

Crist is beloved by both Democrats and Independents here in Florida, I think he has a great shot at winning the Senate seat in 2010.

Linking Crist to a popular President, that will show him. Crist did what was right for the people who elected him regardless of party. Maybe Mr. Rubio thinks all the foreclosures and job losses will cure themselves. If Mr. Rubio is elected I guess he will not ask for funding during hurricane season. One more thing Mr. Rubio, Democrats aren't the only ones beholding tothe middle east. Just google any picture of 43 and his handholding buddy the Sheik. Typical Repub, don't let fact stand in the way of your point.

I have lived in Florida for many years. The insurance industry is totally out of control (They're probably funding Crists Senate bid) Taxes are also out of control. The local county governments were spending money like drunken sailors when the property values were up. Now they're all crying that their general funds are running dry. Funny how the taxes haven't dropped like the property values. Not funny how our insurance rates keep climbing. It's disgusting...

I voted for Crist because of his insurance stance. It turns out it was just political fodder... as usual from the Republicans. He really hasn't done much for this state. This is why many are leaving for the Carolinas and Georgia. They can't take it anymore. There are many other states much more accomodating to the citizens than Florida. Keep the sun!

Crist only looks more moderate because the rest of the government in Tallahassee is so far to the right, they make Rush look liberal – Crist is a political opportunist who really never has accomplished anything – just run his mouth and collected a check and paid off his political IOUs-- BTW, the state of Florida is broke and he didn't do anything to fix the problem.

Oh yes, lets connect Crist with a popular president. Seriously.

I love it when they eat their own. Instead of a nice comment welcoming another candidate to a lively debate about ideas, Mr. Rubio's instinct is to start slashing. I'm sure that's the kind of public official that we all want to have.

GWB and the republicans went on a drunken spending spree like we've never seen before in history and all the money went to a foreign country. President Obama is trying to fix this country and the rethugs cry foul??? Do they hate America???

Rubio, it was your fellow rethuglicans who gave GWB a blank check to invade and then REBUILD Iraq. Now President Obama is trying to undo that damage and then REBUILD AMERICA and you have a problem with that??????????????

The GOP keeps pushing themselves into irrelevance... they seem to have no realization that times are changing and the tide has turned against them. The "conservative litmus" test is exactly the thing that will make most moderate voters keep away from the GOP... but they just don't get it... I think the last 2 election cycles show how they just don't get it though. White male conservative Republicans are a dying breed...

Ohh wow, what a tough guy, watch out, George Bush imitator is coming through...

For the record, I bet he doesn't know when in the record books our economy has been messed up...last time I checked, poor people rioted in Philly back in the early 1720's, you tell me what debt we have? The people the Boss, what a joke...ohh yeah, I'm gonna teach you guys a lesson today, LOL!! Na'h, I'm playing...or am I? LOL!

the Republicans are the kings of borrowing from the Middle East and CHina. But not a peep from one of them while they were doing it. 11 trillion dollars in debt they left this country. now pipe down.

Wow... here we go. Republicans are already ATTACKING each other.
Nothing like eating your own.

Between Cheney and his delusional daughter Liz, STIR IN Rush Limbaugh and you truly have a recipe for a DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY VICTORY come 2010 and 2012!!!

Thank YOU Cheneys, THANK YOU Rushy and thanks to all you canible Republicans feeding on each other.

Rubio is trying to keep the GOP pure as the party of No.

Crist will win easily.

Only a Republican would mistake someone "opposing the stimulus but still taking the money as a leader."

Crist has the integrity to at least support bills that he intends to profit from.

Rubio said: "we do things a little bit differently here in Florida"

Like how you count/don't count votes. Thanks a ton.

Rubio needs to wake up and realize the harsh times that we're living in. If you're in opposition to the stimulus bill, you've pretty much ended your campaign before it even got off the ground Rube.

This is yet another way for the republicans to hit a so called political homerun. The problem is its aided by prefomance inhibiting durgs. They do not get it, you can not win anymore by the bringing in the big name hiters. Those days are old and gone, as long as the republicans keep in-fighting I for one think we are the better off.

I am a Florida resident and don't want either of these people in the senate. Rubio is a hard nosed republican who would continue their grip on Florida. It is about time we shed the republican hold on everything we do. Overall, Crist has been a better governor than I expected, but he bends back and forth trying to please both sides. One time you think he will do the right thing and the next he is giving in to the right wing. Over all, if he does get elected to the senate, I suppose he would be a better fit for Florida than Rubio, but I would rather have a democratic governor.

And who left the debt that needs to be paid off and managed the economy that is so fragile?

Our country is a mess because the Republicans are never satisfied.
This bickering among each doesn't set the example for our Country and children and this is why we had a change. In order to have other Countries respect the US is we all must pull together. I have been a Republican and have changed from their ugly mess.
McClain should retire, whenever he is around there seems to be bickering and the same for Chaney.

God Bless our Country from the evilness in the past.

Crist is the right candidate for the Republican Party if it wants to return to mainstream America.

Linking Crist to Obama is a sure-fire way to get him elected. The people trust Obama, and support him.
What a dope!

Rubio can stick a fork in it. He's so done.

Let the Tearing down and Fighting Begin! keep showing the Videos of Crist and Obama that will be a sure win for crist!
