Sen. John McCain celebrated victory last night in the Potomac primary and guess who was sharing the stage with him? U.S. Sen. John Warner and you-know-who. (Photo: Getty Images)

I thought the kind of store Chuck would own was illegal.

2:40 - Agreed - except for one problem - McCain is 350 years old, and the only thing worse that Governor CC would be President CC.

Charlie Crist is neither conservative nor a true Republican (he is a Republican in name only). His insurance plan (putting more people into Citizens) will bankrupt the state should a hurricane hit, he is a social liberal, and his idea to raid state coffers (which is a one-time solution) for recurring expenditures is laughable. He will be a one term Governor.

Nonono… this would be a good thing. McAmnesty would let all the illegals into the country… and McFraud (aka: Chuck) would send them all to Florida because he doesn’t even know where it is, much less care about it!

Is John Mccain Gay too?

that photo looks like the three stages of sun damage

Crist makes me puke.

lol, 3:22... lo-freaking-l

When I want to know the opinion of the general public, I just take the opposite opinion of the consensus here. I love how the same people post multiple times and try and make it look like different people. They really need to put IP addresses on here.

3:38 - don't be irritable just cause your jean shorts are too tight today

BANG-O-RANG, 3:41!

Way to SNAP ol' Daisy Duke on-a-stick!

Don't worry about CC assuming the presidency. Skin cancer will probably knock him off in a couple of years anyway after all of that fake tanning and hair dyeing.

McAmnesty couldn’t ask for a lotto ticket without a teleprompter. No way in hell he makes through this. When Lil’ Johnny Napoleon blows a nut about mid-June… game over.

How great. The "BANG -O- RANG" morons are back. Remember these are the same vile idiots that were on this blog before CC won his election. They are never right and they are
mental midgets when you engage them in any real debate.
Just read their remarks. If that is the new "conservative" Republican, we are all in trouble.
Just read 3:17, he is proof of what the new toe tapping extremeist Republican is. Goldwater and Reagan must be turing in their graves over these b o o bs.

3:38: 3:59 is a perfect example of what you were talking about. This guy cuts and pastes the same post for every subject, every day for the past 2 weeks.

Does anyone know a place where adults can have real political discussion and debate? This one has been taken over by a couple of kids.

Why is it that every person who critiques the Governor is called a TG supporter?

I'm a registered Dem and would like nothing more than a changing of the guard at the White House. And I am disheartened to say that I firmly believe a McCain/Crist team would destroy Obama/whoever.. I bet McCain/Crist would have a solid lock on the crucial independents.

4:12 is a poop head

4:14 I agree with you.

4:12 You sound like such a smart Republican

4:15 Go get mommy to change your diaper now. Then later maybe she will give you a bubble bath.

Would it be too much to ask for Charlie Crist to be concerned about Florida and not worry about McCain. He seems to be interested more in McCain than governing the state of Florida. He's seems to derelict in his duties as Governor of Florida. Fortunately I didn't vote for him but unfortunately I'm stuck with him.

I wish we were all Republicans. Then, the terrorists would never attack us. At least that’s what those intelligent republicans who like to discuss politics say.

Right stephen?

4:42 I am so sure you voted for him. All Governors do the same thing. Jebbie did it. Thats part of what they do. Besides, if he made it to VP, Florida would be sitting pretty. Stop fretting you have the remarkable Florida legislature taking care of business.

McCain/Crist 2008
My vote goes towards John and Charlie.

I JUST HAVE ONE REQUEST:
IT IS GOING TO BE A TOUGH NAIL BITTER CAMPAIGN AGAINST HILLARY/OBAMA.

PLEASE RESIGN FROM THE SENATE AND GOVERNORSHIP RESPECTULLY TO DEVOTE FULL TIME TO BECOMMING THE VICTORS IN 2008.

YOUR CAMPAIGN WOULD BE ASSURED OF VICTORY IF THIS WAS DONE.

KEEPING YOUR CURRENT POSITIONS IN THE CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT LEAVES DOUBT AMONGST THE VOTERS AS TO YOUR TOTAL DEDICATION TO BECOMMING AMERICA'S LEADERS FOR THE NEXT GENERATION!

4:25 your probably right. Why would the terrorist want to mess with toe tapping hypocrites who hang out in mens bathrooms drooling and soliciting sex from strangers? The terrorists would never bother. Great idea for the new homeland security. Have everybody register Republican. Would cost us far less too.

AMENDED:

CRIST: PLEASE RESIGN THE GOVERNORSHIP. I REALLY DON"T CARE WHAT YOU DO AFTER THAT.

4:35 I bet you never had the n u t s to say that to Jeb when he did the same things. I guess you think its not good for Florida to have their Governor be VP? Or I guess it suddenly bothers you that all politicians in both parties always lend a hand in other elections.

? IF CHARLIE BECOMES THE THE NEW VICE PRESIDENT{BACHELOR}. WHEN HE GOES ON A DATE WILL HIS DATES ENTER THROUGH THE BACKDOOR??????

4:37 Please move to another state because most people here support our Governor.

I thought CC was focused on Florida's issues?

Some candidates appear to be eager for the job — Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, who was at last night"s party, makes no bones about his openness to the slot.

ricco,

what's it matter? Neither one does their job anyway.

Did nothing Senator and a Do nothing Governor!

McAmnesty/McFraud 08!

4:39 now just because thats your style, don't push it on others. Not thats theres anything wrong with that.

4:39, you cleary are already in another state because most people here regret making "The People's Mistake"

4:37: The people in this state are naive and foolish. I wonder if Chuck's ratings would be so high if people knew that he was...

4:41 How awesome. Our Governor could actually be the next VP. How great for Florida and the majority of people who voted for this very popular Governor. Way to go Charlie. We are here for you.

4:42 I hardly think that you a your two others selfs who continually post here constitute the majority of people. The majority of us who have been there for this governor are still there for him.

I'm hoping mc cain chooses christ as his running partner then we can get someone that cares about being governor of the state of florida not out chasing his next job.

Well in Charlie's defense he accomplished his one major campaign promise. "Property Tax reform." Time to take the next three years off I guess? *sigh*

4:43 You know what they say, if you don't like it here. Get out.
And on the, ..."if they knew what he was" stuff, me thinks thou protest too much. Meaning you are describing yourself perhaps?

4:47 I hardly think that McCain can get Christ. I hear God doesn't like him to be involved in campaigns. But Crist may be interested.

4:46 I hardly think that you and your three other cubicle mates who continually post here constitute the majority of people. The majority of us who have been there for this governor have realized what a HUGE mistake that was.

GET BACK TO WORK STEALING MY TAXES, STAFFERS!

4:43 (or better known as Charlie): It's the year 2008; why can't you come out of the closet? It's not like Gov. McGreavey in NJ, who had a wife and kids. Just let everyone knew who they voted for.

4:43 Hey Huckelberry, you guys tried that stuff during Charlies campaign, the people did not care then nor do they care now. You holyier than thou types scare the c r a p out of the people more then any gay person could. And how would you know if charlies gay? Have you been there?

4:52 you even have to stael my lines. You are so lame. As afr as me being a cubicle mate, you wish you could kiss my cubicle shoes.

As a voting Republican and African American, we cannot sit idly by and allow Clinton or Obama to ascend to the running of this country! Sure, Senator McCain and Governor Crist is not the party favorites right now, think of Clinton and Obama running anything! As for Clinton and Obama being called leaders, well let me say this, "they could lead a pack of rats to a block of cheese"! I'll go even further and say this, they are a helluva lot better than Clinton and Obama will ever BE! I have a differing opinion of Clinton's leadership or Obama's motives. Food for thought, "why did Romney drop out all of a sudden?" It is eerily similar to Ross Perot's failed bid. They (McCain and Crist) provide more honesty than the 2 genuine untruthful fellows that now occupy the White House! It is a sure bet that McCain will win our nomination, he hasn't said WHO he is selecting as a Vice Presidential running mate, so we are way ahead of ourselves. Please keep in mind, that when George H.W. Bush ran for President, his son then, Governor in waiting George W. Bush acted as a traveling advisor on issues relevant to immigration and oh yes he even screened potential running mates for his dad. McCain's son is in Iraq, so he cannot perform the same task for his dad!

COULD SOMEONE PLEASE FIND US A GOVERNOR!

Love,

Florida
