They're both crooked as hades. But at least Scott stands for something. Even if it is a petty as abiding by a no electronics rule at a debate. He's a principled crook. Crist will break a rule, just to see what he can get away with. That's what I took away from the whole "fan thing".

Crist just does what he wants, the way he wants. As it has been said, which way the wind blows, is the way Charlie goes.

Scott, the lesser of two evils.

Sure wish I had a better choice, tho.......

CN.......

I wonder why this is...
When did Florida switch back to a former winner?

Well this is the next year I will return home to Arizona. Frankly being away for 7 years I am not pleased way things are here. Its both Candidates, They are flawed by beyond words and have less than a shining public service record.

So do you support the Republican Charlie, the Democratic Charlie, or the now-today-Independent Charlie?

Frankly the Scott fraud case was decided by the court, I am not going to be up Scott for what was probably done in middle management. (usual is)

Justice was served. We can not go on retrying people just because some disagree with the outcome.

Not really much of a supporter of either Charlie, if I was in Florida this would be a hold my nose vote. Just would rather him over Medicare Fraud Ricky.

I didn't phrase it well… one or the other will be a former winner this election.

I was thinking about Alan Grayson, who wins, loses, and comes back with another win. At least his district seems to be comfortable switching back and forth. Other districts in Florida may not be as comfortable.

It seems very close still and very interesting. You voted based on the debates, our daughter and son is law voted based on them as well, plus concerns they have about Christ and voted for Scott. This shows how close it will be and how people think.

Grayson won this time in Osceola County. Previously he won, then lost in Orange County. I'm not sure without looking it up but the district may have been redrawn?
