Crist goes where the money and wind takes him, former Republican and a failed Independent Senate run. It's a shame that's the best that came out of the primary.

Maybe he will finally disappear if he can't even beat Scott after losing twice to Rubio.

The FL House and Senate will still be solid Republican whatever happens, so it would be fun to see Charlie veto every bill they pass for 4 years like he did his last 6 months as governor the last time and burnt all his bridges.

The GOP in Ohio is so confident in their ability to stay in office, they are not even making any attempts at hiding the corruption. The charter school thefts of public funds is massive. The corruption in stealing the government employees pension funds is rampant and unchecked. I expect that if Kasich is reelected then state pension funds will be hit with a massive "crisis" to make sure our pensions are slashed and handed over to the corrupt bankers including the Wolfe family who also happen to own most of the news media outlets in Central Ohio.

The 2016 presidential election will be stolen for the GOP just like 2000 and 2004 were in Ohio. John Husted is not called the Secretary of Suppression for no reason. Remember KKKarl Rove's famous meltdown on TV? Husted double crossed Karl. Husted was too chicken to try what ever crooked thing they had planned, since it looked like Obama was going to win without Ohio. Husted will not make that mistake in 2016.

Ohio is an absolute mess. Property taxes have gone through the roof, because Kasich slashed income taxes for the wealthy and has taken all the local and municipal shares of the state taxes, so he could spend that money instead. Local property taxes have skyrocketed thanks to that. Kasich is handing money out to all his campaign contributors like a drunken sailor. Firemen, police and teachers are loosing jobs left and right. The homested property tax exemption to protect senior citizens was gutted.

...baffling. I'm no biblical scholar or scripture quoter, but the "none so blind as those who will not see" certainly seems to fit.

not sure if my one vote could swing the poll but i can promise I won't be voting for Rick Scott.

Even while I am thoroughly disappointed in my only other choice. I didn't like Crist his first time around but even then it was better than Scott has been.

They are nonstop and I mean nonstop plaing a commercial that says when Christ became Governor unemployment was 3 percent, when Governor Christ left to find a job in Washington. DC. The unemployment was 11 percent. 1 million jobs lost under Governor Christ. The only job Christ cares for is his own." It is brutal and has not been challenged and is played every other show break at least. So frustrating!!!!!
