Man Scott must be scared. This is like the 5th time just today I have seen his attack ad

[kydo]

On Crist. Scott is such a douche! I can't wait to vote against him. Same with my Congress Critter Mica. I saw him yesterday too. Had to use all my will power to not tell him off. I was serving at a funeral and he showed up. People were fawning all over him. I think he heard me when I proudly proclaimed that I was going to do everything I could to make sure he is not re-elected. He kept staring at me with his beady eyes. He is really short BTW. I'm 5'3 and he was not much taller then me.

Nov 2014 can't happen fast enough.

1. Scott's Democratic opponent MUST keep hammering away on jobs and Scott's

poor handling of Wisconsin's economy. She hired two former Obama campaign operatives, one of which was head of logistics. She is doing an excellent job of going around the state meeting with small groups of voters, Elizabeth Warren took that route in her senate run. When 1014 comes, those small groups of voters will be powerful allies in their communities.

2. Rick Scott not Scott Walker

But I can't stand either

3. Was the funeral for someone on the school board.

Sad truth around here is that many of the politicians and community leaders think they're royalty.

[kydo]

4. yep

I am a Sacristan at the church where the funeral was held. I ended up mostly alter serving and setting everything up and putting everything back. There were more people like me that didn't take part in the fawning. We had a job to do. Congress Critter or not, he sat where we told him.

5. My folks still wonder how he won

Do you trust Crist?

[kydo]

6. yes actually

Not sure who I will vote for in the primary but I will volunteer to campaign for who ever us dems pick as the nominee. Crist would be a 100% improvement on the bald douche we have now.

Crist was more dem when he was elected and I'm surprised it took him so long to turn dem. I think it liberates him to be who he his rather then trying to tow the party line the baggers had him do. There were things he did I didn't like, but there are people I like who do things I don't like.

But toward the end of his time as Gov he did more things I liked then didn't like. If he didn't leave the bagger party, the bagger party would have kicked him out.

If he ends up being the next Gov of Fl he will do just fine

7. he won by spending 70 million dollars

of his own money.

that pencil necked asshole of a alien bought the governorship thanks to the Democratic party putting up a weak candidate in Alex Sink.

She is republican light and doesn't give a shit about the lower income people of the state of Florida and they are legion. Sadly they think that they are one lottery ticket away from greatness.

Charlie Crist, although he's for himself, has Florida at heart. Now that he's put his hat in the ring it's time for Democrats to show up at his appearances and get him to commit to something (yes, he is a hurricane weathervane) (hmmm, I'll have to copyright that)

Nan Rich won't stand a chance against him unless of course she meets a lot of people and actually puts a plan together to stop this republican bullshit that has overrun our state since Bob Graham.

There are no other viable candidates IMO.

8. Your description of "it" is way better then mine

that pencil necked asshole of a alien

[malaise]

11. Thanks for this info

[NightWatcher]

9. so we've 11 more months of that horrible ad?

The one with the prominent Dems calling Crist a flip flopper? I hate political ad season on tv down here. I'm not really thrilled about voting for Crist but I'd vote for anybody in the state above Scott. He severely fucked over Medicaid.

Question: If we get a sensible Governor, can they opt in to the federal funded Medicaid expansion, you know the one that Scott and the other Pukes refused to take?

[kydo]

10. I'm only voting for a person

that opts in to the federal funded Medicaid expansion if there are more then one with this stance then I will opt for the one which the crappiest nra rating.

Crist will opt us in.

13. The Legislature has to pass it first

I'm pretty sure it's not solely up to the Governor and with the R dominated House and Senate here that will be a tall order.

[kydo]

14. I still want a Gov that promises to do everything possible to pass expansion for medicaid

[madville]

12. It's not completely up to the governor

The Legislature has to pass legislation for it first (good luck here in R controlled FL) and then whoever the governor is could sign it or veto it.

My understanding is if they pass on the federal funding now it will not be available later. They could still opt in later but without the extra federal funding which would be a substantial hit.
