Crist had already been at the podium for 7 minutes. Either Scott is totally incompetent at thinking on his feet in order to give a better answer (which may be why he avoids reporters and interviews), or he has the worst campaign handlers ever. Either way, he did not help himself at all.

I think even more than impressing the public with his pettiness, Scott raised a question as to how bad his judgment is. I would say the majority of those who have weighed in pretty much agree with Joe Scarborough. Thought it was funny that Joe also said he wished he had thought of campaigning in Florida with a fan as it was a smart thing to do.

Could be worse. We could have Rick Perry for governor, who just got back from a European tour to scream bloody murder about a travel ban on the citizens of his own state. Not, mind you, a travel ban on people like Duncan from the affected region of Africa. Yeesus. I'll go ya one better, there should have been a travel ban on Perry.

It's an undeniable fact that Charlie Crist cheated and broke the rules, of this there is no debate.

He felt he had a compelling reason, because children always sang to him "Liar, liar, pants on fire!"

Too late for me. I sent in my ballot a week or more ago......but these two clowns are typical of what we're facing on a national level with the Senate and Congress....these idiots are so trivial and refuse to cooperate with each other - you have to wonder if the obstructionalists will ever give way....

I'd like to read up on that story,, got a link?

Scott also has some skeletons in his closet that would give me cause for concern.
