Nan Rich Turns Her Fire Against Charlie Crist

Speaking at the Florida Democratic Partys convention in Orlando over the weekend, former state Senate Democratic Leader Nan Rich directed most of her fire at Gov. Rick Scott, but she also threw a few jabs at looming primary rival former Gov. Charlie Crist.

I remain the only serious Democratic candidate in the governors race, Rich said. But I have a sneaking suspicion thats going to change soon. Rumor has it that Charlie Crist will soon announce hes running again.

Now, I know that being a woman, a mom, and a grandmother probably gives me an unfair advantage over Charlie but he does have a lot of experience running for statewide offices hes run five times, you know so Im not taking his candidacy lightly, Rich added. Seriously, theres no denying that Charlie Crist has a lot of style. But with so many Floridians still out of work, with so many seniors on waiting lists for care, with so many childrens lives negligently lost by a broken social services system, with so much at stake in how we manage our environmental resources I truly believe this election will be more about substance than style, and I believe it must be if we are to get Florida back on the right track.
