The Florida governor’s race; Close and Caustic. [View all]

[Fla Dem]

"FOR two white males approximately 60 years old, both of whom have been Republican governors of Florida for one term, Rick Scott and Charlie Crist are remarkably different. Mr Scott, the incumbent, does not appear to enjoy speaking in public, an unusual quality for a politician. At a campaign event held in a factory where the space shuttle was once maintained, he introduced other speakers and then stood with his hands glued to his sides, grinning. His own speech was put in the shade when the head of Orlando’s science museum took the floor. The following day, over on the state’s Gulf coast, the Democratic challenger did his thing. Mr Crist, who was until 2010 a Republican, met with teachers in Sarasota. He poured on charm as thick as suntan lotion. Before entering the room he stared straight into a television camera and told the lens, “I care about you.”"
