Florida Governor’s Race
In Florida, Governor Jeb Bush is stepping down after this term. In his place, his Treasurer Charlie Crist is running on the Republican ticket and is ahead in the polls over his Democratic challenger Jim Davis. Charlie Crist has also been way ahead in campaign money, having about 3 times as much money to spend as Jim Davis. If this were reversed we wonder if maybe Jim Davis would be 10 percentage points ahead in a time when people want change from the George Bush agenda.
Charlie Crist has been running a typical Republican message of cutting taxes and using the same rhetoric of referring to Davis as a “tax and spend liberal.” Crist is promising to cut homeowners tax which is a big issue in hurricane country. This is an ad Davis is running that condradicts what Crist is saying, claiming that the insurance companies have written some of Florida’s legislation during the Jeb Bush/Christ reign. And since Davis’s ads don’t appear on TV nearly as much as Crist’s, we figured we would air it here. It’s something we like to call democracy.
