Crist radio ad stretches the truth
Crist radio ad stretches the truth

October 16, 2006


The newly formed Coalition for Bipartisan Progress released its first advertisement on behalf of Republican Charlie Crist's campaign for governor.

The radio ad touts Crist's civil rights legislation and support for paying for smaller classes and importing cheaper drugs from Canada. It also says "he led a successful fight to stop oil drilling off Florida's coast.''

That's stretching the truth. Back in April, Crist was among several elected officials who wrote letters opposing a federal plan to allow oil drilling off Florida's coast. Crist's Democratic opponent, Jim Davis, has been much more involved in the federal issue as a member of Congress.

The Bipartisan Coalition for Bipartisan Progress was formed by three supporters of former Democratic candidate for governor, Rod Smith.

This just sets one's teeth on edge.
