While Dem Senate rivals fight, indie Crist to campaign at Broward Democratic bastion

by George Bennett | July 30th, 2010

UPDATE: The event has been canceled so Crist can attend the funeral of LeRoy Collins Jr. on Monday. Republican-turned-independent Gov. Charlie Crist, the onetime “consistent conservative” GOP candidate who’s now drawing strong Democratic support in his bid for U.S. Senate, plans a campaign stop Monday morning at Democrat-heavy Century Village of Pembroke Pines in Broward County.

With Democratic Senate rivals Jeff Greene and Kendrick Meek duking it out in an Aug. 24 primary, a new poll shows Crist leading the three-way general election race for Senate and neither Dem topping 17 percent.

Word of Crist’s foray into Broward County’s Democratic heartland comes from consultant Eric Johnson, the Democratic operative and former Robert Wexler chief of staff who was hired by Crist to help make inroads with South Florida Dems.

  1. Pathetic Unilateral Support Says:

    Eric Johnson, former chief of Staff of former FL democrat congressman Robert “the quitter and MD resident” Wexler WORKS for Charlie Crist

    Not only have the democrat jews supported Crist, but have ALSO put another jewish billionaire and former failed CA republican candidate to run against the black democrat candidate Kendrick Meek.

    Those S FL jews only want for themselves. They FAIL to support a black democrat candidate.

    That’s jewish loyalty..only to themselves.

    PUS: You ought to take your anti-semetic drivel elsewhere; perhaps back to the next Klan meeting.
