The war of words continued this week between Gov. Rick Scott and his leading Democratic rival, former Gov. Charlie Crist.

A day after Crist launched his first television ad of the campaign, Scotts team came firing back. The Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) launched a new video ad on Tuesday which offers a response to one Crist unveiled on Monday. Despite spending most of his political life as a Republican, Crist is the favorite for the Democratic nomination to challenge Scott in November.

We all remember the hug seen around the world. Republicans talked about it incessantly. Now Charlie Crist cant stop talking about it, especially wherever there are African-American voters.

With the contest for the governor's seat looming, Florida is waiting with bated breath to find out what Charlie Crist will use for his campaign theme.

Back in the heyday of the British Empire, a man from one of the colonies addressed a London audience.

"Please do not do any more good in my country," he said. "We have suffered too much already from all the good that you have done."
