RPOF Slams Charlie Crist in Wake of Recent Unemployment Numbers

"So its no wonder Charlie Crist and the Florida Democratic Party dont want to talk about jobs and the economy. Crists economic record was among the worst in America, and he abandoned Florida to put his political career above his responsibilities as governor.
