With all of Obamas executive orders coming after the midterm elections, the last thing you need is a flip-flopping shill like Crist to endorse and promote those socialist policies. You Floridians have no idea what's coming once the employer mandate takes effect in Jan. 2015.... No idea....

And the loons who were running it at first- anyone remember $10K of state money spent on Star Wars sculpture? (I'm actually pro-public art, but if the statues were legit, they wouldn't have been called 'office furniture' in official documents and accounting records.) The original director of the project hiring his two sons at above market rates?

The reason Scott voted for it was because he's so corrupt himself that hiring your own kids for sham jobs is a perfectly normal way of doing business in his view.

Well, Goodman is doing special things in Collier county these days. It's amazing how some people are afforded opportunity after opportunity.

Those are my thoughts exactly.

As for Charlie Crist, he was good as the state's Attorney General, so-so as a governor, but after his trans-political party change into a card carrying, left-wing talking point spouting Democrat, who needs him?

And the last thing we need is another Obama administration yes man, and IMO Crist has shown himself to be more than happy to do this as a "Democrat".

I think I do. I am choosing not to vote for any of the three running, as they are all very poor choices, IMO.

I simply cannot do the vote for the lesser of three evil thing. Bring me someone worthwhile, then we will talk.

If they did, would they be in politics? It's hardly a Florida phenomena. The real question is, do we have any common sense for voting them in? I'm all in favor of a place on the ballots for "None of the Above". Sadly, most politicians really are representative of the people who vote them in.

Socialist policies? Gee, I haven't seen any of those. I and everyone else I know is doing fine under this president (with the most worthless Congress in history). All I know is we were all worried, scratch that, scared to death that we would lose everything under the previous administration, if you could call it that. Those Bush years were a disaster! Honestly, could socialist policies be any worse than what has existed here in Florida for decades? I'm just playing here, there will never be any socialist policies w/ all these right wing retirees in the state.

Look, these guys are politicians, what does anyone expect? The whole system is very, very broken. Remember folks, the governor is just one person. Please vote those idiots out of the state capital.

I am sure people from up north which comprise many will love your statement. I hope yours improves also
