Last night on Fox, Charlie Crist said Marco Rubio’s ~$100.00 bill at a Florida salon could have been for back waxing. I don’t know if he was trying to make a racial statement, which would be keeping with what his campaign has done all along in trying to make Marco Rubio as hispanic as possible, or if he was gay baiting. I do know straight | Read More »
At a time the GOP is pushing the Democrats to scrap their health care plan and start over — a view shared by the majority of Americans — Charlie Crist says he’d keep the Democrats’ plan.

I don’t know who Steve Rothaus is, but he is clearly an idiot. In a column for the Miami Herald, Rothaus writes A recent tweet from Erick Erickson of Redstate.com criticized a hiring decision by the Crist campaign as “birds of a feather,” a sly reference to Charlie Crist’s sexuality. Here is the tweet in question. It reads, “Charlie Crist hires a Mitch McConnell staffer. | Read More »
The Crist campaign says it is not true, but the writing is on the wall. Again and again the media turns against Crist. Another blow to the Crist campaign came today as the Republican National Committee’s War Room sent out this unflattering story about the failures of the Crist campaign. The RNC did that. [UPDATE: Todd Herman at the RNC tells me this afternoon (1/12/2010) | Read More »
Something tells me Charlie Crist is incapable of doing anything like this. We have got to get Marco Rubio in the Senate.
When Charlie Crist is losing even the establishment he is in serious trouble. Congressmen Lincoln and Mario Diaz-Balart have withdrawn their endorsements of Charlie Crist. Lincoln offered few details as to why, just that Crist had “left us no alternative and he knows why.” Diaz-Balart said the withdrawal has nothing to do with Crist’s slumping poll numbers, and in fact, the decision was made weeks | Read More »

Charlie Crist had in 2006: education, lawsuit limits, property insurance and property taxes.” | Read More »

The people in the room for Rubio were the same people who blew up NY-23, helping Doug Hoffman and crushing the chances | Read More »
It is called projection. The big spending, tax-hiking cover of the Florida accuses his opponent who has always been committed to cutting spending and taxes as being a big spending tax hiker. Come on, Charlie. Even the media is calling you out for your lies. “When you hear people out there on the campaign trail talking about what they’re going to do, look at what | Read More »
“Charlie Crist’s actions prove him to be anti-family, anti-life, anti-gun, and very much in favor of taxes” Last week, Charlie Crist decided to attack conservatives by telling reporters that “It’s hard to be more conservative than I am on issues — there’s different ways stylistically to communicate that — I’m pro-life, I’m pro-gun, I’m pro-family, and I’m anti-tax,” then went on to say he guessed | Read More »
Charlie Crist just hurts himself more and more every time he opens his mouth. In January, when he decides to quit the Senate primary (you heard it hear first) and get back in the Florida Governor’s race, he’s going to be doing some scrambling to douse the flames on all the bridges he is burning. In the latest rant against Marco Rubio Crist attacks Rubio | Read More »
Well, we knew Crist was desperate, but pulling the race card seems really low even for him, given all the videos circulating out there about Crist’s personal life. Good grief.

The video shows Marco Rubio | Read More »

It is almost an admission by the Crist campaign that his campaign is garbage. Governor Crist’s long time communications director is out. After a run of bad publicity, Gov.

Crist’s office confirmed Wednesday he is parting ways with longtime communications | Read More »
