Florida Governor and one-time leading Senatorial Candidate Charlie Crist is finding that coming out as bi-party is not the cakewalk that he was hoping for – his old friends feel betrayed and confused, his new friends are somewhat fickle, and his enemies are gleeful as he bends and twists to distance himself from the very …

Note: Every 2 years, Florida voters get a chance to literally edit the state constitution, as proposed changes to the actual text of the document are placed on the ballot. This post is part of a continuing series. Florida’s 2010 Amendment 3 can be seen as a legacy of sorts of former Florida House Speaker …

I give up – there’s really no reason to rally behind the only real Democrat in the Democratic primary race. No Party Charlie Crist is with us on everything except what he’s not with us on and that’s good enough for me, so the primary is officially moot. Look, I will always like Kendrick – …

“I’m as conservative as any governor. I’m chain gang Charlie. I’m pro-gun. I’m pro life,” That’s Charlie Crist way back in 2009 before he made a sincere and heartfelt decision to completely change. Charlie Crist recently became the darling of Florida’s teachers as he polished his indie cred by vetoing an absolutely horrible education bill. …
Charlie Crist is no progressive. “I’m as conservative as any governor. I’m chain gang Charlie. I’m pro-gun. I’m pro life,” There is a true progressive in the Florida Senate race, and he is being all but ignored by the progressive community. Kendrick Meek needs and deserves the support of everyone who is looking to put …
Nationwide, tea party primary winners are grabbing headlines as they seemingly try to outdo each other in a surreal political reality theater. Nevada’s Sharron Angle, Kentucky’s Rand Paul and Florida’s Marco Rubio are three of the not ready for post-primary time players who are battling it out on America’s Got Tea. Each of these far …
In the 3 way race that is expected to develop for Florida Senate, Kendrick Meek is perfectly positioned to benefit from scandals rocking the Florida GOP. No party Charlie Crist’s hand-picked head of the Florida Republicans was just arrested for… stealing from the Florida Republicans. Marco Rubio is also caught up in the scandal, as the IRS is investigating reports that he more or less lived off of a Florida Republican Party American Express Card for several years. Perhaps most importantly, Crist’s and Rubio’s problems are indicative of a GOP brand in Florida that is heavily tainted by rampant corruption.
