Charlie Crist electrified the state when he ran, got to become governor, faced a few challenges he could not overcome, and instead of standing tall and working harder to fix those problems, he chose to bail out during his first term. He’s getting ready to leave a State that’s in much worse shape now than when he first came into office. He ran for governor promising to make our state better and he failed at upholding that promise. For personal political advantage alone, he has chosen to run for the US Senate instead of fulfilling the promise he made to the people of this state to serve as their governor. That makes him a fraud of a leader, a failure as a person, and a failure as a governor.

Forgive the suggestion, but it’s time that Florida starts measuring the caliber of our leaders well beyond them having a nice smile and a sharp suit. That’s not enough to make a great governor but that’s all that CC offers us; a nice smile and a sharp suit.

You must not be “P.(ing) Auphen” enough because it’s backing up and soaking your brain. Crist may very well win the Senate seat, but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s the most unaccomplished, self-centered, self-promoting, abject failure of a governor in modern history. Jeb Bush was a disaster for the state, but at least he had a brain and an agenda. Crist has neither. The scary part is that there are Republican sycophants like you out there that are in denial about it.

I’ll bet you also thought George W. Bush was a great president, didn’t you?

Was is anyone surprised?

The Republican party has thumbed it’s nose at the black community for decades…did you really expect anything different now?

Proud D, I agree with you. I also wonder why CC hasn’t removed Scott Rothstein from the 4th District JNC after Rothstein admitted what he did publicly AND asked for his own law license to be taken away because he broke the rules. What does it take for Charlie Crist to make a decision? I suspect he is afraid to piss just about anyone off. Sure not the makings of a Senator in my book.

I admire the support in this blog for Charlie and how concerned he is about making the right pick. But PLEASE, You’re joking RIGHT ??? He couldnt care LESS. Cares about one thing and one thing ONLY, getting into the Senate where he will be even less accountable as it is pretty hard to knock a sitting Senator out of office. NO Term limits, elections every 6 years. If only corporate boards could get these terms. If George would wake up and realize he is sitting in the catbird seat. C’mon George ???? Marco will understand.
