Crist opens dialogue on Senate campaign, asks for donations
by Michael C. Bender | June 29th, 2009
Gov. Charlie Crist, who is facing an aggressive early challenge from Marco Rubio for the GOP U.S. Senate nomination, sent out a fundraising letter today that starts to layout his own campaign.
It’s noteworthy in that Crist so far has largely refused to answer questions about national issues. He doesn’t include any of his positions in the note, but says his leadership in the past 30 months has brought “real results” in the state.
“My common sense conservative approach to government has provided real results for the people of Florida, and I believe can help right the ship in Washington. You have trusted me to fight for the people of Florida for nearly two decades. As a State Senator, as Education Commissioner, Attorney General and most recently as your Governor, I have worked to protect the quality of life for families and businesses here in the Sunshine State.”
Crist also highlights his campaign web site, which has been recently redesigned to include endorsements and a narrative bio that starts with his immigrant grandfather. The site does not include positions on any particular federal issues.

Well, of course, he’s silent on policy positions. He has none.
He ‘cares’ about whatever is important to those in the room, but does nothing effective to fix those things.
He reminds me of a glorified customer service rep who can’t do anything about the problem, but is real good at telling us he “understands how frustrated” we must be with whatever is out of whack.
It’s the pure popularity approach to getting elected, and haven’t we had enough of that in Washington?!
Shucking Chuckles may well jive his way into the Senate seat, just because the “people” are ignorant.
By all means, Republicans put another one of those Demobamacrats in Washington.
We’ve gone beyond RINOs. Now we’re considering Dumbocrats.
