She won her more recent statewide election. Charlie has lost his last two statewide elections, one to Rubio and one to Rick Scott.

11. He is better known and still popular in Florida. He will get Democratic power players behind him.

We made it possible for DeSantis to win in 2018 because we picked the weaker of the two top contenders, we can’t do that again.

I was high on Fried at one time, but she got into a high profile public incident that didn’t reflect good judgement, IMO.

A long way to go, I know. But one looks for positive signs wherever they can be found. Even as an R, I always thought Crist was a decent guy.
