When Rick Scott made his maverick push for Florida governor four years ago, the Republican took a hard line against immigration that he used to assail his main GOP rival for the job.
Scott called for an Arizona-styled enforcement law and a need to "secure the borders." Just last year he vetoed a bill that would have offered temporary driver's license to some young immigrants.
But the incumbent governor is now making a concentrated push to win over Hispanic voters in what appears to be a tight re-election campaign.
Scott on Monday signed into law a bill that guarantees in-state tuition rates to high school students living in the country illegally.
RINO’s are Democrats in disguise
The Lesser of Two Evils is just the same Evil in a different hoodie.
How about a comparison of economic figures (jobs, state deficit/surplus, etc.) of Scott vs. Crist. What does that look like?
RINOs are snobs; think they’re “better” than the Democrat riff-raff.
I do not even believe that they are the lesser of two evils.
They are the same evil, government.
It has fooled half of us with one lie and the other half with another lie.
It really doesn’t matter what any one of us believes in that regard, because we are all going to be enslaved.
We were played like fiddles.
The only problem with that is in doing so, we get Charlie Crist.
Nope. Conservatives won't have it anymore. They will destroy liberal republicans where they find them.

Is there another State in the Union that can boast that?
He just got it back to it was when Crist took office.
When my option is to keep him or put Crist in, I'm keeping the guy who actually has a record of cutting debt and vetoing spending.
Who do you think pays for the difference between 'in state' tuition?
Taxpayers, which is most people in a State like Florida that doesn't have an income tax.
I'd prefer a free market in education, but that's not on the table.
The people in this State want their taxes to subsidize higher education. Seeing Crist elected in place of Scott isn't going to alter that, it isn't going to effect it in any way.
But I have NO reason to think that putting Crist back in the governor's mansion won't lead to more debt as he compromises in every direction he can seeking 'accomplishments'.
I'll stick with the guy who considers cutting debt an 'accomplishment' and has a record of doing it that I can't find equal to in the last 100 years.
