2. Check the Twitter account

@CCristFan

Hilarious. 😅

[madfloridian]

3. Oops meant to put the link in my post. Thanks.

Yet Rick Scott's tea party fans still cheered him on.

[shenmue]

5. Oh yeah

I'm going to a rally for Crist later today. 🎩

[madfloridian]

6. Enjoy.

[ChiciB1]

34. Sure Did! And I Hope That Floridians Don't Think This Is

going to put the kabash on Scott! He already has many coming to his defense and attacking Crist hot and heavy!

NOT A DONE DEAL!

Don't do twitter so don't know what's being said. Not even sure how reliable the polls will be either. I know, I'm bursting bubbles but I've lived here for a very long time!

[OriginalGeek]

35. True!

I've seen it all over facebook how Crist was pulling dirty tricks to make Skeletor look bad. I have a palm shaped dent in my forehead now.

[madfloridian]

37. The Scott defenders already know what he's like...they just don't care.

This could make them defend him even more strongly.

[ChiciB1]

38. Kind Of Works That Way Down Here...

And many other places where Repukes have had compromising incidents! Please let INDEPENDENTS wake up, understand and get out and VOTE!

The defense is already in progress, seeing it on local news and of course we have FOX!

[lonestarnot]

4. I can't go that far, maybe the fan can.

[JI7]

7. since it's florida i would think most would be understanding of the need for a fan

[madfloridian]

16. I would think so

Just heard a FL station say it was unfortunate that both candidates were hurt by the debate and the fan...the news here is so protective of Scott sometimes..

It was not both of them, it was Scott acting stupid.

[madfloridian]

8. Ha Ha Atrios at his Twitter page.

Bootrios-Ghouli ‏@Atrios

florida man, florida man, really frightened of florida fan

[MontyPow]

9. Were you a fan when he was a Republican?

[blkmusclmachine]

10. I'm not a fan of Republicans who slap (D) after their name for political expediency,

and then fritter away the DEM brand by being GOP-lite. Even in FL!

[madfloridian]

12. Yep you have said that over and over and over.

[Towlie]

39. Still, Crist is the least stinky of two alternatives.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

11. You're inviting someone to throw shit at that.

[madfloridian]

13. ....

I thought of that.

[SoapBox]

14. LOL

[BuelahWitch]

15. My Floridian cousin and her husband are Fans too

They say they will be happy to cast two votes for Charlie.

[Starry Messenger]

17. I missed what happened.

It sounds hilarious though.

[madfloridian]

20. Here you go. It's all over the news, but this is the backstory.

[m-lekktor]

18. we know. and like others who idolize this politician or that

you have zero tolerance for anybody who doesn't like who you like. i remember charlie christ being featured in an HBO special called "Outrage" a few years back which was about closeted gay republicans who voted or supported anti gay legislation. i have zero respect for that but then i never have to vote for this opportunist asshole unless he runs for something nationally. politicians are the least deserving of personality cults.

[madfloridian]

19. So one can say THIS at DU now and is acceptable.

you said this:

Apparently you missed this:

Which is why I posted about the fan.

What you posted shows intolerance.

[madfloridian]

21. Here's #fangate page for those who think this is really just about being a fan of Crist.

https://twitter.com/hashtag/FLGovDebate?src=tren

You missed the debate of the century.

And the best part of Scott's answer as to why he was late for the debate.

[Plucketeer]

22. Scott says....

I was initially BLOWN AWAY by Charlie's fan! Why should he be able to breeze thru this debate while I have nothing but hot air?

[madfloridian]

23. lol

[FloriTexan]

24. Awesome! n/t

[Rocky888]

25. What if

Rick Scott (who is deceptively smart) fan rant was how he managed to avoid any real intellectual criticism, because "fangate" is the only topic of that debate being discussed today. Not that any corporate owned journalist would dare criticize him.

[madfloridian]

26. We have enough tea party around here....

that it really doesn't matter what Scott does or says. He got played last night, and it will have an effect of sorts

Those who would vote for someone like Scott in the first place will continue to vote for him whatever he does or says because it is ideological with them so completely that they have even forgot what they believed in the first place.

Yes, it is that bad here.

[chervilant]

30. It is that bad almost everywhere... n/t

[Paper Roses]

27. Somehow I knew where this was going as I saw the title. n/t

29. One thing I know about you after reading your posts all these years

Last edited Thu Oct 16, 2014, 10:50 PM - Edit history (1)

You are not someone to just jump on the bandwagon simply because someone has a 'D' after their name. You really think things thru when you put your support out there for a candidate and have no problem vocalizing your opinion no matter what their political party.

I know Floridians want Rick Scott gone gone gone. But wasn't sure if people were excited bout Charlie Crist, former Republican governor of Florida now Democrat, or just figured anything is better than Rick Scott even if they could be electing a wolf in sheep's clothing. I do know that Crist was a moderate when he was a republican and fit more in line with the republican party of old and not these Tea Party assholes of today.

So for you to post that, I truly do believe that Crist isn't just the lesser of two evils in this election but the best choice possible for Florida. i think you would have voted Crist over Scott no matter what because Scott is that bad. But you would have never posted that photo if you felt that way.

Great thread! Don't mind my ramble. I have really only been following the Pennsylvania race here. They have their own asshole governor going bye-bye!!!

[Lochloosa]

32. This. And you are right LynneSin, Crist is a world apart from Scott

[madfloridian]

33. Those words mean a lot to me....

coming from you. A lot of us are excited about Crist. I believe he was caught in the midst of the tea party rise when he was governor. I know for sure he won't be caving in to them.

[ChiciB1]

36. Some Are Missing The Fact That HE Actually Has No

problem defending Obama. How many "real" Democrats even have the cohones to mention his name? He said it again today, he supports Obama and ACA!

And yes, he was pretty moderate even though I didn't vote for him back then. I'm sure he knows what it means to talk about Obama so for me that gives him some credence as a reformed Repuke!

Just sayin'

31. Better check the oil pressure
