This is so typical of Crist; however, this may prove the death of his Senate hopes. If LeMieux really votes as a “Charlie Crist Republican” I expect that Republicans will vote accordingly against Crist in the primary next year.

Rubio has won numerous straw polls of Republican county leadership. They will be the work horses against Crist.

Marco Rubio for Senate!

but I’m not even going to try and justify this one. Let’s just call this what it is–arrogance. As a friend just said to me, “never seen a guy where more things just go his way despite his best efforts.” I doubt this has any real influence on Charlie’s campaign, but it certainly doesn’t help.

Just another reason to vote for Rubio!

GO RUBIO!!!!!

…as soon as his true colors came out.

More importantly, we have a truly viable challenger in Marco Rubio. And lest this be taken wrong, this is NOT a case of cutting down Republicans; it’s a matter of supporting a BETTER Republican, a true conservative who can win in the general election.

I really look forward to Marco debating Charlie. Marco has a strong set of core principles plus the ability to articulate them well. Charlie won’t stand a chance in a true debate setting.

Once in, so many politicians just can’t seem to get off the power addiction. They’ll do what they have to do, just like a crack addict.

Here’s a rule I follow: Never trust a man who spends more time in a tanning booth than a bikini model. If they care that much about how they look it is because they spend hours admiring themselves in the mirror. I’ll bet if you lifted prints off the surface, you’d find lip marks.

Yuck.

it’s in St Augustine, nice yard, good schools, friendly neighborhood. What’s that? Yes, we’ll be FL residents by the time the primary comes around, why do you ask?

Its two seperate fights now. There is Crist – Rubio. There is Lemieux – Obama now. Whatever you think of Crist, we need Lemieux in our corner.

There is seventeen months until January 2011. Just as its sometimes unwise to focus on 2012. It is also unwise to focus on 2010.

Dont let anger with Crist conflate with Lemieux’s Office. What needs to happen is that the base should put pressure on Lemieux. He was appointed, IT is done. He was not responsible. Anyone offered that position probably would have taken it.

But he must know what the people are thinking. C&T and HB3200 are unacceptable.

I’d been intending to write up something about these stories but time got away from me. Here’s a story from a couple weeks ago about the Palm Beach County GOP failing to censure Charlie Crist on a 65-65 tie vote:

Here’s another article from around the same timeframe about how Charlie Crist realizes he’s in deep trouble with the party base in Florida:

It would have been nice if Jennifer Carroll had been appointed. She is an up and coming Republican from the Jax area. Former military and good person. Thank goodness for her that she doesn’t have to live with the CRIST CURSE.

I must say that I was never a Rubio fan. I don’t really trust the conservative label attached to him. I will keep my thoughts to myself however, since the alternative is so repulsive. As for the alternative, candidate I should say, and not lifestyle, although rumors have it… love that tan.

The CRIST CURSE — everything he touches falls apart!!!
