    Utilities in Florida scared half to death Christ will win

    http://news.yahoo.com/florida-power-...--finance.html

    When Charlie Crist last governed Florida, his green energy and climate policies made him few friends among the state's powerful electricity corporations.
    Now, as the Republican-turned Democrat bids to return to the governor's mansion, it may be payback time.
    Florida's three largest utilities have poured money into the re-election campaign of Republican incumbent Governor Rick Scott in an expensive and closely watched political battle for the nation's largest swing state.
    The election spending is notable in a tight race where the issues of energy and climate change have taken center stage in recent weeks, with both candidates asserting their environmental credentials.
    As Republican governor between 2007 and 2011, Crist "sent shivers through the entire utility system," said Colleen Castille, who headed the Florida Department of Environmental Protection under Governor Jeb Bush.

    Crist is bad news for Florida. He's a flip flopper and two faced. He does what's good for him. All our family is in Florida, I pray he loses.

    I'm sure he is, however, the thread is clearly about Jesus Christ. Why he chose to run in Florida, though, is beyond me. You'd think a state known for an abundance of Jewish retirees wouldn't exactly be a favorable audience.

    Scott's PAC is running some scathing ads about Crist that if true, Crist would be looking at jail time. Scott just cut the fees on registering vehicles at the DMV. That's good news for me as I'm getting the new-to-me H-D registered this week.
    Only in America.... could the rich people - who pay 86% of all income taxes - be accused of not paying their "fair share" by people who don't pay any income taxes at all.

    Half scared to death? Does anyone know how we can complete this equation? Maybe tell them Rick Scott will win again, would that fill the other half.

    Yeah, that guy crist goes from soft/moderate Republican to rino after hugging Obama, to I believe independent, and now to a full fledged progressive commie, and he thinks he has a chance to get back the governorship? Over my fully loaded plastic machine gun! I'm a Florida resident now, and this swing state means too much for we Conservative Republicans to allow that weasel to hold the top spot.
