The billionaire is ready to take out Florida’s multi-millionaire governor.

In a nationwide push to fight Republicans who deny the existence of man-made climate change, investor-turned-activist Tom Steyer has founded a Florida political committee, seeded it with $750,000 of his own money and says he’ll spend far more to help Democrat Charlie Crist defeat Gov. Rick Scott.

Florida Democrats are buzzing about Steyer spending $10 million, which he won’t discuss. Republicans say the California Democrat is a phony environmentalist, but they nevertheless worry his financial commitment could be real in Florida.

“It’s hard to look at the map of the United States and not understand that not only is Florida Ground Zero for climate [change], it’s the third most-populous state,” Steyer said in a sit-down interview Friday with The Miami Herald.

You are correct. I keep my ears open for this type of news. I'm active in my county Republican Committee. We are currently contacting republicans who don't vote in the mid terms. We enjoy a 78% turnout but need that 22% to get the job done. I'm not convinced Crist will be the Dem nominee.

Scott needs a Green Party watermelon to run.

Yeah, Crisp worked for Morgans after he was voted out. I guess the Morgans need a useful idiot in Tallahassee.

Berry, you nailed it!

This just shows how much money these fascist creeps plan to make off of this "climate change" scam.

As governor, Crist pushed what was known as “cap-and-trade” climate-change legislation that ultimately sought to incentivize [billionaire wannbe trillionaire investors]

Why does global warming climate change climate disruption matter so much to the very rich? They're insanely lusting to become the first trillionaires and masters of the world.. no matter who actually pays the price. Nothing else matters to them. They are scum and traitors.

Charlie Crist (D-Green Iguana)

Charlie Crist is definitely a John Morgan sock puppet. Of course I don’t think any of the Florida media have ever reported that negatively.

And isn’t it interesting that the liberal Democrats have no problem with evil billionaires spending their money in support of a Democrat candidate but always get free airtime to complain the Koch brothers donating to conservative candidates.

Rick Scott is NO prize but he’s a damn sight better than Charlie crist.
