Many Republicans are supporting Crist because he is a sure thing in the general election.

Also, many Republicans have never heard of Rubio and so they have not yet made the comparison between Crist and Rubio.
As soon as Rubio’s ID name builds up, Crist may be in some very serious trouble.

Crist has a significant financial advantage, but will need it to counter some of the actions that he has taken over the past couple of years.

Three things are hurting Crist:

First, GOP voters elected “Chain-Gang Charlie” expecting him to be tough on crime. Yet one of his first moves was to give felons greater rights after release.

While only GOP political insiders really cared about giving felons back the right to vote, many average people on the street were concerned that Crist’s actions allowed felons to obtain occupational licenses. It essentially was viewed as giving ex-felons the ability to enter people’s homes without the homeowner knowing that a convicted felon was in their home.

The second problem Crist faces was his outward support of Obama’s stimulus package. At the time, Crist thought he could tie into Obama’s star-power given that Obama’s approval ratings were at 70%. But as Obama’s approvals have fallen and the stimulus package appears to have failed, many Republicans are well-prepared to make it a focus of the 2010 elections. And Crist put himself on the wrong side of the issue for Republicans.

Finally, Crist’s judicial appointments are causing him a significant amount of grief among his Republican base.

By creating informal panels to review judicial candidates, he opened himself to criticism from both Democrats and Republicans that he was working outside establishes processes.

By passing over Judge Alan Lawson, a well-respected jurist and darling of conservative Republicans in favor of an equally respected jurist that happened to be a registered Democrat, Crist made Republicans question how he would evaluate US Supreme Court nominees if he got to the US Senate.

This race is a long way from over, but it will be interesting.

And he is a strict Constitutionalist unlike these three bafoons

A new Congress in the US has formed.
There were candidates from 31 states that were elected.

This is the 2009 Continental Congress.
This has been created by citizens and voted on by citizens and bylaws set up and is totally legal.

Dan Gonzalez just got elected and is representing Florida.

People have had enough of Congress iin Washington.

You guys should interview Dan and find out what is happening around the country.
