Jim Martin, the chairman of 60 Plus Association....jabbed Crist over seniors' issues on Friday.

"By his own words, Charlie Crist thinks that seniors losing their doctors under Medicare Advantage, which was slashed by $300 billion to fund Obamacare, is 'great,'” Martin said. “He thinks 300,000 Floridians having their health plans canceled by Florida Blue due to Obamacare is just fine. You know what Florida seniors think is great? A governor not named Charlie Crist.

Suntan Charlie....a bad choice.

Glad to see someone not afraid to tell the truth about “Goodtime” Charlie.

Many seniors voted for the maggot and obwana. They best start a movement to repeal the attack on America called obamacare.

In my opinion, Gov. Scott is not getting his message out too well in Florida. A very poor PR campaign, in my estimation.

The newspapers are behind Crist, of course....and seniors love their newspapers down here in Florida. They don't rush to conservative forums like FR for their news and orange juice every morning like we do.

I hope the Governor shifts into higher gear pronto, including better TV commercials....what there are of them!

Is it all that important this far out from the general election in November? I have been confused why money is being spent in this Nov race so early - previous to a primary... of course Morgan / Crist hope to establish a train of thought in the ill-informed voters - which may be of value, I suppose.

I suspect that Morgan / Crist hope to deplete Scott's war chest so they can clobber him with the usual Democrap pack of lies. You are a lot more savvy about state politics than I.

[MinuteGal]

Having held elective office for twenty-plus years and doing political paid PR work for candidates for some years, let me assure you that in a state race it's imperative to get the PR for a candidate out EARLY and EFFECIVELY.

If you're a candidate, it's vital to get your name and attributes set in concrete into the interested voter's brain as soon as possible. Money has to be raised as soon as possible. If you don't win the primary, there's no general election for you at all. In many if not most political campaigns, the primary is more frenzied for the campaign workers and candidate than for the general. I personally would start many aspects of campaigning 5 months before my primaries.

We're only about 14 weeks from the election which is not long at all to the candidate and his staff and his workers and volunteers.

The governor is not basing his campaign PR, publicity and commercials based on Morgan/Crist strategery. He has his own tactics. They can't break Rick financially. Crist could only wish he has the sources of contributions that any sitting governor has.

However, I'm not impressed so far with the QUALITY of Scott's publicity campaign....and I'm praying he gets his act together soon.

BTW, for those not living in Florida.......Crist supporter and heavy financial backer is the huge Florida law firm "Morgan and Morgan.....For the People"

The Morgans are so slippery, the ambulances chase them. This firm is heavily advertising for medical marijuana legalization in the state. They are sleazy as they come.

I call them, appropriately and aptly, "Moron and Moron.....For the Perpetrators".

Morgan/Crist.....egrets of a feather flock together.

I like these new comm'ls where Scott has these citizens - and black business people - talking about how much he has helped. Despite the effectiveness of attack ads, I like ads that emphasize what a candidate has done and will do... let the 501c4's call the opponent a creep and a criminal... :-)

[MinuteGal]

I agree with you. Positive ads are much preferrable to attack ads. I haven't seen the Scott ad you referred to...I'll have to watch for it. I don't watch much daytime TV.

I expect the Guv to really turn the heat on after Labor Day when many folks again return to thoughts of elections along with football. He has the funds to blow Crist out of the box...and I look forward to a procession of high-quality, positive commercials.

Scott has done a lot for Florida to crow about. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.....

...and John Morgan'n'Morgan? ;-D If we do not get tort reform the bluddy lawyers will end up owning everything! They are suing practically every 'miracle drug' on the market... AND anyone else who has a dollar!
