Charlie Crist Returns Fire on Rick Scott After State of the State

In Tuesdays State of the State address, Gov. Rick Scott spent a great deal of focus attacking former Gov. Charlie Crists record in Tallhasssee. Despite spending most of his political career with the GOP, Crist is the favorite for the Democratic nomination to challenge Scott in November.

Crist returned fire on Tuesday afternoon.

The people deserve a governor with bold ideas -- someone who can work with both Republicans and Democrats to strengthen small businesses that create jobs, cut wasteful spending, and make college more affordable, Crist insisted. Reaching across the aisle isn't a sin -- it's an obligation. If we work together over the next eight months, next year I will deliver a State of the State that puts the people first.
