I think people vote based on emotion. What is Charlie doing to

tap into emotions of Floridians?

People don't use reason to vote. If that were the case the GOP would never win.

1. The commercials against Charlie are cruel

Every other commercial bashes Crist. And his commercials(few that there is, does not fight against the current Governor). It is sad really. I wonder if Crist wants the job.

2. I see few commercials from either candidate,

but that says more about my viewing interests than anything about the candidates.

I think the Crist team is concentrating in South Florida, which is probably a good strategy. Everybody else already knows his record so they either love him or hate him. What he has going for him is that hardcore Democrats will come out to vote against Rick Scott, no matter what. And the Latino vote is so disenfranchised by Republican's anti-immigration stance that they will be motivated to vote against Scott.

However, from what I see in Central Florida, I think you're right that the Crist commercials are lukewarm. "Too Shady for Florida" brings on the sad impression that some shady is okay in the Sunshine State.

They just need to keep pointing out the horrible things that Rick Scott plans for this state in the future and convince the voters that Crist will do less damage.

3. I am Central Florida too

So I guess we see the same commercials. Although I watch more TV. Lol.

4. In the Tampa Bay area

it seems the Scott ads far outnumber the Crist ads. I would think the Crist campaign would be in full swing, by now. It makes me worry about the outcome.

6. Tampa Tribune Has Written Some Very

negative pieces on "the alien!" Crist has no money compared to what Scott has! I live about an hour south of Tampa in a very, very RED county. Very few Scott signs around, but then he probably knows he doesn't need them here!

Many Democrats who weren't here when Crist was Governor don't know that he was a moderate governor. Surprised me for sure. Now that he's switched I wish some Dems would shut-up with the "he used to be a Repuke, he can't be trusted!" I say compared to WHAT?? So just keep b----ing and we get "the alien" again and it will be worse than ever!

5. We are getting blasted by commercials...

I went to Charlie's St. Pete office opening and it was a good crowd.

He is so much more personable than Scott - I wish there were more opportunity to see them side-by-side.

I really wonder if the apathetic voters will turn out. Maybe the pot amendment will help get some progressives to vote.

The hard core right will go with Scott, but I'm also hoping that women repubs will jump ship - and maybe some GOP faithful who wanted the train or got burned by some other Scott stupidity.

The one issue that Charlie hasn't hit on hard enough for most Floridians is the environment.

7. Bob Graham Is Pushing Amendment 1 A Lot!

Had a town hall phone call last week, lots of people with lots of questions. Several amendments should get a YES vote! Many don't know that all these have to have a 60% vote to pass.

Really depends on GOTV! I keep trying, maybe we'll see more of a push from Crist now. His money can't match up. Could be he's planning on using what he has for the last push. Keep trying to get people to vote... it's the only way!

8. Crist supports Medicaid expansion, but you don't hear it. THAT WOULD energize African Americans

All I see is a very, very weak campaign by Crist with the money they do have.
