Crist: Florida up for grabs

Don't count Gov. Charlie Crist among those Republicans predicting Florida is a lock for John McCain: "I think it’s going to be tight," he told Buzz. "These are two strong candidates and I don’t know which way it goes."

"These are two strong candidates and I don’t know which way it goes."

Chuckism Translation: "It's too early for the polls to give me my opinion."

[Hattori Hanzo]

Sounds like the Governor might be in the running to be Obama's veep, too.

1:55, yours is an incorrect assertion on Crist reading polls to determine his support, otherwise, Mitt Romney would be the nominee. Mitt led McCain by several points in polling Crist read that Saturday in St. Petersburg.
Incorrect.

1:55: quit kissing Cristi's butt...unless that is, you are under his butt and can't get out

[2:26]

uh, i meant 2:09

What CC is really saying is "Florida isn't a lock, unless you pick me as VP, then Florida will be a lock."

2:09 Romney is a cultist. Evangelicals would stay away in droves. Get over it.

2:27 that's exactly what he is saying.

Mitt Romney is by far the most qualified VP candidate and would win many battleground states including Colorado, FL and Michigan.

Christians who don't live their faith & practice it are far worse 2:09. And they are hypocrites to boot in their unjust criticisms. Get over the bigotry and read First Corinthans 13.

There are LOTS of folks closer to the Devil than Mormons, and majority of them are LIBERALS! Baptists won’t go out and vote against a Mormon Vice President in favor of a pro-choice, pro-gay-marriage, anti-gun LIBERAL from CHICAGO. DUH!

exactly 3:07 and 2:27!

Dear 3:07 p.m.,

I am a Christian (Baptist), a Liberal, and I am far from being the devil. Your comments are insulting and are far from the truth. May God love you and forgive you for your hatred and intolerance. I will try as well.

2:26 Go retake the FCAT comprehension. Crist endorsed McCain when McCain was behind in the polling.
That was all I was saying, dckhead.

[Donald Lance Armstrong]

226 has fewer testicalia than me.

4:02: Cristi had originally planned on endorsing Giuliani, as late as November. When he saw the polls turning against Rudy, he jumped ship. He was never going to endorse Romney, due to the fact that Jebbie was quietly supporting Romney. So, don't come up here on your high horse, spouting "facts." Go back to your mom's basement and shut up. I'm the political expert here, not you.

4:00.. I too am a Christian Democrat. And I too will pray for God to love and forgive 3:07 (and all of that ilk) for thier hatred and intolerance.

I too will try as well.

May God Bless!

[407 Cannot Read]

Sorry 407, McCain was losing on Saturday and Crist endorsed him, so your theory is wrong in this case, which is all that was said, supergeniuspoliticalman.
And that is a fact, but go ahead and put on the Proactiv, it will clear up something before your date with your palm tommorrow night.

4:12 is my palm! And he's very good too!

[Bryan]

Oh please.. who cares who endorsed whom first! Romney as VP would be the ultimate hypocrisy on McCain's part. I watched the Republican debate at the Reagan Library and poor clueless Huckabee and dim bulb Ron Paul coule hardly get a word in because of McCain and Romney fighting back and forth. These are two men who absolutely despised each other just three months ago and now Romney is practically begging to be on the ticket. McCain really only has one choice. Tim Pawlenty. He could pull just enough votes out of MN that it might swing to the R column. There is no one else that offers that to McCain. Charlie is becoming less and less popular in Florida every day. Even this Everglades buy out of US Sugar is turning out to bite him. Romney certainly won't pull Massachusetts. Hutchison is useless since most Texans would vote for a serial killer as long as he had an R after his name. No one has ever heard of Firoina. Rice is too tied to Bush and has overseen one of the worst periods of foreign policy in US history. Sanford is happy where he is. Anyone have any other ideas?

McCain/Perot '08!

"What the hell; two crazies and a chart!"

4:12: How can you tell me to put on the Proactiv when you're obviosuly the 40-year old loser watching Babylon 5 j'ing to a Cheryl Tiegs poster.

I think Cheryl Tiegs is hot!

The Farrah Fawcett poster was way better

No doubt, I could hang my keys on those!

I've got them side-by-side with Kirby Puckett.

Let's see how long till the Gov see's this campaign Tanking and tell's Greer or Lemeiux to take it over.

America loving Cubans remember well that Fidel Castro was not a communist either when he was up in the Sierra Madres with Che Guevera. The Cuban people who accepted Castro as their rock star hero soon ended up dead, in prisons, or fleeing the country. Check out Obama, his associates, his background and his wife Michelle. He is another Fidel Castro. Don't believe for a minute that it can't happen here.

5:47

You are just as pathetic here as you were on the other thread.

4:08 A Christian and Democrat? That is not mutally exclusive? It should be.

How is it you belong to the party whose main social platform is to legalize Gay "marriage" and Partial birth abortion, (the deliberate slaughtering of babies over 6 months in the womb 3/4 delivered)....killing your brothers and sisters in Christ in Embryonic Stem Cell Research in the name of science?

May God forgive you for your lack of a formed conscience & for tolerating evil. It is you who is far from the Truth.

And you can thank the Republican Party of Florida for abandoning their base, the middle class. They've worked hard these last 10 years turning the middle class into the working poor.

Last session instead of working on TAX REFORM they were too busy trying to ban truck nutzzz and baggy pants.

Yep, they wanted to give CSX $700 million (really $1.5 Billion) while cutting education, cutting child abuse investigators, laying off foster care workers, cutting nursing home inspections, and laying off parole officers.

But they had plenty of money to build more private prisons.

Remember in November!!!!

[Toxic Liberal Democrats]

"It would be generous to say we were stunned," says a Republican House Judiciary Member, describing his response when Congressman and Obama Superdelegate William Delahunt (MA-10) yesterday asked the vice president's chief of staff David Addington about water boarding of terrorists. Addington declined to comment, citing President Bush's refusal to discuss techniques used to attain vital intelligence, and added that another reason not to respond was that Al Qaeda is probably watching.

Congressman Delahunt's response: "I'm glad they finally have a chance to see you." (Emphasis added.)

But the House Republican and Judiciary member was not so stunned to notice that no Republican rose to defend Addington, or to call out Delahunt for essentially inviting al Qaeda to impart physical harm to a senior member of the Bush Administration. "It was shameful that we didn't do anything. I can't explain it," says the GOP member.

Just as shameful, according to a Democrat Judiciary staffer: Delahunt was congratulated for "zinging" Addington after the hearing. "Zinging was the term used. These guys are tired of the same old lines and excuses. I mean how many times can they pull out that old bogeyman of al Qaeda. The American people aren't buying it anymore, and certainly Delahunt doesn't."

What does it matter, Global Warming has doomed us all!!! Obama has promised us all a houseboat. CHANGE, CHANGE, CHANGE!

I'm powering my houseboat with Gore's carbon credits!

WOOHOO, SPEEDBOAT, er, uh, SWIFTBOAT

2:09 Romney is a cultist. Evangelicals would stay away in droves. Get over it.

3:07 is a hypocrite.

[McCain....get off my lawn!]

If Herbert Hoover had lived he would now be as old as McCain.

McCain=Herbert Hoover

1929 all over again.

12:52 the fruits of Romney's life are Christian irrespective of his denomination. The word cult means someone whose tenets are different from basic (the mainstream of) Judeo Christian doctrine, such as belief in the Trinity. Mormons typically are that and not considered one of the Mainline denominations. Yet Romney has already said that he believes Jesus is the Son of God and considers him his personal savior and the savior of mankind.

So what's a better in God's eyes? Someone who believes Judeo Christian doctrine is TRUE but deliberatly (by choice) FAILS to live or practice that; or someone who does live & practice the Christian faith but also has additional beliefs? Mitt Romney and his family are some of the most decent people in the political arena today and he has a lot to offer this country. 3:07 is not a hypocrite.

"Baptists won’t go out and vote against a Mormon Vice President in favor of a pro-choice, pro-gay-marriage, anti-gun LIBERAL from CHICAGO. DUH!"

What if the Mormon was also pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, and anti-gun like Romney was three years ago? Maybe the high gas prices changed his mind, too.

Only if you keep stalling the McCain Campaign in Florida to force McCain to make YOU VP.

9:37 you are a studied genuis. Read Romney's record as he governed Massachusetts. Watch what they do (not how he campaigned in '94 against Kennedy) He changed his mind on abortion many years ago and that is evident in his record. Much more so that the beloved conservative Ronald Reagan who signed legislation as governor of California to expand it.

Romney didn't get to be gov of Mass by being a conservative, that's for sure.
The question is, which Romney would it be for VP?

11:46, you mean the shameless huckster who wanted to be Senator/Governor of Massachusetts as opposed to the shameless huckster who wanted to the Republican nomination for President?

Theocons didn't buy Romney's act once, they won't buy it again.

Pick me!!!
