Additionally, I do not believe he is alone in this feeling either.

Unlike Zell, Crist is actually a coherent and sane individual. So yes, he's a good pick for the anti-ZM.

He certainly won't sway wingnuts, but he could be persuasive with independents and senior voters.

Listen to Gov. Charlie Crist and ask yourself if this makes sense to you and also ask yourself if you think Charlie has nothing but the best motives for this endorcement. Then share this video on FaceBook, etc. with all you know. We have less than 2 months until the votes will be counted. Every vote counts.
