I love charlie crist is speaking at DNC unlike the Allen West wannabe Artur Davis

[geekboy09]

I liked him when he was my governor. I thought he was the most common sense Republican ever. I am currently registerred as a independent but lean left.

2. Some people have problems with moderate Repubs coming into the party

or support the Dem party but I don't. He might be more moderate then some blue dog Dems.

And welcome to DU.

5. Two guys who are bitter that they lost primaries, don't see a whole hell of a lot of difference...

I'll give Charlie Crist the fact that being (somewhat) moderate in his party didn't necessarily carry any political advantages. Artur Davis was a moderate because he wasn't really interested in representing his congressional district, it was just a stepping stone to statewide office.

But the idea that Charlie's conversion is really motivated by conviction any more than Artur Davis', is a fucking joke. The Republicans have been batshit crazy since Ronald Reagan was elected over 30 years ago. This wasn't a sudden thing that happened when Marco Rubio started polling double digits over Crist. If he seriously was motivated by conviction he would've left the Republican Party a long time ago.

6. I know but I thought he was a great governor

9. I guess checking out Arthur Davis' record as a Dem

might be a clue.

He's now saying he believes there's Voter Fraud so these new voter suppressoin laws are necessary. That's stone cold pandering.

I say give Charlie Crist a chance..after all he's coming out of the dark side.
