There's another big-money player in the Florida governor's race -- or so it appears.
Check This: Crist Takes Another Step Toward Democrats
Submitted by Anonymous on August 30, 2010 - 4:20pm
At last report, Senate candidate Charlie Crist said he was "open" to union card-check legislation that would effectively end secret-ballot elections for union representation.
We don't know what he told Florida Teamsters behind closed doors, but their endorsement of the governor last week suggests he passed the test on this key union perk.

Bill McCollum: No Support, No Class

Attorney General Bill McCollum, who lost the Republican gubernatorial primary to Rick Scott last week, told an Orlando TV station over the weekend he wouldn't -- because he just couldn't -- support Scott against Democrat Alex Sink. He apparently has too many questions about Scott's past at the helm of Columbia/HCA.

Could it be? Is it possible I have figured out a way to enter text as a story in sunshine state news? This is pretty cool, but my phone wouldn't allow me to enter text in the visual mode. I had access to the keyboard only when i went to the html mode.
Palin and Huckabee: Will They Get Together for Rick Scott?
Submitted by Anonymous on August 29, 2010 - 5:17pm
Recent reader comments on this site took me to task for underselling Mike Huckabee's clout in the Florida primary ... and overstating Sarah Palin's.
While Huckabee's endorsement couldn't turn the trick for gubernatorial candidate Bill McCollum or 24th Congressional District hopeful Karen Diebel, he did back GOP winner Daniel Webster in CD 8, another spirited race.
Meantime, Palin's pick in the closely grouped attorney general contest, Pam Bondi, outdueled Jeff Kottkamp and Holly Benson (who got late backing from Newt Gingrich).

Still Waiting for a Cash Rebate from Charlie Crist? Don't Hold Your Breath
Submitted by Anonymous on August 29, 2010 - 4:45pm
Poor Charlie Crist. He can't stop talking out of both sides of his mouth.
When asked this weekend whether he would return early GOP campaign contributions, the Republican-turned-independent told CNN, "We'll give it (campaign contributions) back to people who had asked for it."
Yep, just like disgraced GOP Chairman Jim Greer, who got his $9,600 refunded from the guv after making his request in writing.
But hold on. Crist went on to add: "People gave money to a good cause, I'm going to spend it on a good cause and that's how I feel about it."

Former House Speaker Marco Rubio, the Republican nominee in the U.S. Senate election, continues to hammer Gov. Charlie Crist, who is running without party affiliation, for constantly shifting his position on new federal health-care laws backed by President Barack Obama. After Crist appeared on CNNs State of the Union Sunday morning and talked about the laws, the Rubio camp quickly fired off a release, claiming this was the seventh time Crist had changed his position on the measures.

Glen Beck Wrong: 'Restoring Honor' Rally Won't Be Last Large Gathering at Lincoln Memorial
Submitted by Nancy Smith on August 29, 2010 - 9:18am
Based on a PolitiFact.com investigation, a report on CNN Sunday morning disclaimed -- in fact, shredded -- Glen Beck's ominous warning that his "Restoring Honor" rally Saturday would likely be "the last large gathering" ever allowed at the Lincoln Memorial.
