There is even more evidence that Crist and Heffley probably broke federal law
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 29th at 09:42 AM |
Within an hour last night of RedState tying the anti-Crist (no, not anti-Christ) Hitler video to Crist’s own campaign team in an effort to smear Marco Rubio, the website Crist’s team set up had been taken completely offline. It’s back up today thanking RedState for giving it exposure. It’s kind of hard for us to send traffic their way when they have to take the | Read More »
Did Charlie Crist and Rich Heffley Create the Charlie Crist Hitler Video?
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 28th at 08:46 PM |
UPDATE: Within an hour of posting this, the anti-Rubio site is now totally offline — server will not respond. ————————————- The plot thickens in Florida. A video popped up on YouTube on October 24, 2009, using the standard Hitler clip all the kids are using these days to mock Florida Governor Charlie Crist’s Senate campaign against conservative stalwart and Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio. Naturally, | Read More »
Rich Heffley and Charlie Crist Fail In Their Rubio Attack. Potentially Violate Federal Law. [UPDATED]
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 28th at 07:33 PM |
I’ve put the original post here below the fold. It needs to now be substantially updated and is worth rewriting. This morning, to great fanfare in Florida, an anonymous website called truthaboutrubio.com went live. The website was registered one day ago on October 27, 2009, but it purported to have content all the way back to 2007. RedState probed the source code of the website | Read More »
Charlie Crist Attacks Marco Rubio With a Fake (and poorly done) Website
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 28th at 02:39 PM |
Talk about desperation. Charlie Crist has set up a fake website to cover the “truth” about Marco Rubio.. Why do I call it a fake website? Well, the website’s domain registry shows this: Registered through: GoDaddy.com, Inc.

Well done. This is a great interview.
Relying on Alan Grayson Can Get You Tossed On the Street
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 27th at 09:48 AM |
Alan Grayson is the corpulent congressman from Florida who compared Republican health care policy to the holocaust, thinks the Anti-Defamation League is a “crazy racist hate group” and just yesterday called a female advisor to the Federal Reserve a “whore.” Today comes word of an even more damning story. A gay couple down in Florida was facing foreclosure. ACORN and Alan Grayson rallied to their | Read More »
Charlie Crist Delenda Est
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 21st at 09:35 AM |
Charlie Crist may be well tanned, but he cannot be well rested. After the Chamber of Commerce dropped a nuke into the race this past weekend by leaking polling results showing Rubio has cut significantly into Charlie Crist’s lead, we have a new public poll. Governor Charlie Crist of Florida, running in a Republican Primary against Florida’s former Speaker of the House, is looking to | Read More »
Armando Gutierrez for US Congress
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 20th at 07:06 PM |
Meet Armando Gutierrez. He will be challenging Alan Grayson in Florida’s 8th Congressional District. RedState endorsed Congressman Tom Rooney in his successful bid for FL-16 and now Tom Rooney is joining Congressman Gus Bilirakis in endorsing Armando Gutierrez. I’m not endorsing him yet, but I’m intrigued and glad we have a credible candidate. I’m certainly going to be looking at Gutierrez. A number of my | Read More »
Holy Cow! A Nuclear Bomb Goes Off in the Florida Senate Race
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 18th at 12:41 PM |
Only three months ago, Florida Governor Charlie Crist, declared by Barack Obama to be his favorite Republican, maintained a 30 point lead over Marco Rubio. The Chamber of Commerce this weekend released a new poll this weekend that has lots of people buzzing in Florida. Only days after Crist’s top supporters began to buzz that Crist might drop out of the race, the Chamber of | Read More »
Top Crist Supporters Openly Speculate Crist May Drop Out
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 16th at 01:52 PM |
It has gotten so bad for Obama’s favorite Republican, Florida Governor Charlie Crist, that Crist is on a state wide “I’m a conservative” tour. Unfortunately for Crist, he’s done himself no favors. Recently Crist attacked Rubio via a Miami political columnist. His argument was that Rubio is poorer than Crist and that Rubio supported massive state budgets. Rubio’s response? Crist’s original budgets were larger than | Read More »
Is Robert Wexler Under Criminal Investigation?
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 14th at 03:04 PM |
Yesterday, unexpectedly, Robert Wexler (D-FL) resigned from Congress. No one saw it coming. One of the suggestions is that he may be up for the ambassadorship to Israel. But it makes little sense for him to resign before confirmation, let alone the nomination. Based on a Charlie Crist campaign manuever, I’m wondering if Wexler might actually be facing an indictment and trying to get out | Read More »
When Charlie Crist Attacks It Means He is Running Scared
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 3rd at 06:56 PM |
Charlie Crist is starting to feel the heat from Marco Rubio. Crist, Florida’s Republican Governor, has not yet won a Republican straw poll. Consequently, he has taken to use Beth Reinhard, a Miami political columnist, to claim Rubio is not a real conservative. Never mind the humor of a liberal trying to claim Rubio is not a conservative. It’s very Wizard of Oz with Crist, | Read More »
Alan Grayson Calls Health Care Situation a “Holocaust” and Thinks the Anti-Defamation League is a “Crazy Racist Institution”
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 30th at 05:04 PM |
Continuing his descent into insanity, Alan Grayson went back to the floor of the House of Representatives today to apologize for saying Republicans want people to die — oblivious to his own support for euthanasia and abortion on demand. Instead of apologizing, Grayson said he wanted to apologize to Americans for this “holocaust” in health care. Grayson, who thinks the Anti-Defamation League is “a crazy | Read More »
Don’t Get Sick or Die Quick
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 29th at 10:31 PM |
[UPDATED by Erick:] The best way to defeat Alan Grayson is to contribute to the NRCC. Alan Grayson is the Democrat representing Florida’s 8th Congressional District — a Republican district. Alan Grayson sees the writing on the wall. He knows he is going to be out of Congress after 2010, so he’s letting it all ahng out. Alan Grayson believes the Anti-Defamation League is “a | Read More »
Charlie Crist not buying GOP’s ACORN-ophobia
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 17th at 11:25 AM |
That headline is not mine. That is from the St. Petersburg Times in Florida. Of course, it is from last year, but it is indicative of Governor Charlie Crist’s problem. Charlie Crist got in bed with ACORN a while back and he’s turned a blind eye to all their shenanigans. Back in 2008, the Republican Party was laying out the evidence of ACORN organized voter | Read More »
What Charlie Crist Hath Wrought on America
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 10th at 11:59 PM |
Behold Florida’s new Senator. He is Charlie Crist’s errand boy. George LeMieux is undecided on government run healthcare and he supports Barack Obama’s stimulus plan. He has taken his first act as a Senator: he blocked a plan to allow drilling off the Florida coast. Charlie Crist’s errand boy continues doing Charlie’s errands. Do we want LeMieux’s keeper in the Senate? Heck no. Support Rubio.
On the NRSC Memo: What About Florida and Texas. And Fiorina?
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 8th at 11:28 PM |
I don’t know a single Republican leaning blog that got tipped off about Senator John Cornyn’s memo to the Senate Republican Conference. Brian Walsh from the NRSC just emailed to let me know he had, in fact, emailed me earlier today with a copy of the email. For reasons unbeknownst to either of us, I got one responding to the Devore press release, but no | Read More »
BREAKING: Charlie Crist Serves His Own Interests, Not Florida’s In Picking George LeMieux
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 28th at 11:03 AM |
Good grief. A state lawmaker says Gov. Charlie Crist is picking his former chief of staff George LeMieux to replace Republican Sen. Mel Martinez, who is resigning. State Rep. Jennifer Carroll, who was considered for the position, said Crist told her he is choosing LeMieux. By choosing LeMieux, Crist picked the candidate he trusts most to fill out the term that expires in January 2011. | Read More »
Charlie Crist’s Florida Shrinks. People Fleeing the Crist Economy
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 17th at 11:04 PM |
Whodathunkit? People are fleeing Florida because of the recession. It used to be the sunshine state. Unfortunately, under Charlie Crist, the Sunshine State is now the Sunset State. Crist, who has pushed a host of liberal economic initiatives in Florida and then tax increases to pay for it all, is running for the United States Senate as a Republican. But Crist supported Barack Obama’s economic | Read More »

By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 17th at 10:23 AM |
Alan Grayson, who has been hiding from his constituents, decided to do a last minute townhall tonight at a union hall. He waited until the last minute to announce it to anyone other than the unions. You can get the details here. The meeting will be at 7:45 p.m. Monday at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 606 Union Hall at 820 Virginia Drive, | Read More »
