Charlie Crist has 18, 332 small money donors, Rick Scott has 368.

Here is the Naples News Article confirming it, but I am not going to pay to access it.

Instead I got it from the Twitter feed of one of Crist's advisors, Kevin Cate.

1. K&R !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[think]

2. K&R /NT

[Snarkoleptic]

3. Maybe so, but Scott has at least one major donor on his side...

himself.

Fortunately, it seems Floridians have awakened to the horrors of the Scott admin.

[madfloridian]

5. Yep. 100 Million he's pledged. Fingers crossed that people have caught on to him.

[Iliyah]

4. 18,332 are votes - K & R

The American people - America.

[merrily]

8. With all my heart, I only wish that were true.

[lpbk2713]

6. Faux NotNews would call that a dead heat.

CNN would call it too close to call.


BWAHAHAHA

[Egnever]

11. DUzy!

[okaawhatever]

7. The Kochs are trying to figure out a way to hire small money donors. nt

[merrily]

9. They know how. They excel at astroturf.

[merrily]

10. I have a hard time trusting trusting politicians who change parties only after

it becomes apparent that they can no longer win an election in their own party.

Did they see the light, at long, long last? Or do they care only about themselves?

Felt the same way about Specter, who changed parties twice because he thought he personally would do better in another party. I am not hyped up about politicians who seem to care exclusively about furthering themselves. I think they just might sell out first. I would have had a hard time voting for him if I had been in Pennsy that year. I might have written in Sestak. Wouldn't have mattered anyway.

13. Charlie has been in transition for quite some time.

I think he always had his "inner liberal".

[merrily]

19. Just like Specter always had his inner Democrat--and his inner Republican?

That said, I would still vote for Crist over Scott any day of the week. Because I do trust Scott--to do evil every time.

[madfloridian]

14. I have more trouble trusting conservative Democrats who masquerade as Republicans...

in order to win elections.

Crist is more a Democrat than many Florida leaders in the party. I like the other Democrat in the race but she is just a bleep on the scene right now.

[merrily]

20. I don't trust either group, but I trust your advice on Florida.

16. I like the fact that he will fight and has an axe to grind. That may work out better for us than a

true believer. The establishment Democrats in Florida are very weak, we could use some back bone and fire.

[merrily]

18. That's true about having an axe to grind.

But, politicians whose guiding principle is looking out for themselves cannot be trusted. What if he decides next that it's in his best interest to play along with the other side, as did Specter? Then, the axe, bone and fire all get aimed the other way.

Still, if I were in Florida, I'd vote for him I guess. But, that is different from trusting hime.

[Zipgun]

21. As nasty as it got, I serially doubt there is any going back.

They got pretty personal.

[merrily]

22. Enough money and power tend to soften most blows.

And if they don't do it for Crist, motivated people can find something that will.

Sorry, I'm just not gonna trust him.

[Enthusiast]

12. Looks like people are desperate to unload Rick Scott.

Can't say that I blame them.

[Android3.14]

15. I'm so glad we have politicians who are true to their beliefs

Perhaps we can get some more DBDNKs (DBDNK = Debbiedunk = Democrat But Didn't Know ).

17. Naples Daily News?

You mean the Space Alien's "hometown" paper?
