Okay, to clarify, there's nothing really subtle about the differences between Crist and Scott. Even people who are less than enthused about Crist can't help but recognize the two are far, far apart.
But being barraged daily by all the campaign ads on television, I noticed both candidates turned to surrogate high profile endorsers to help bolster their support. Charlie Crist chose former President Clinton. For Rick Scott, he chose former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani. Now, look at the two ads.
Here's President Clinton's ad on behalf of Crist:
Now here's the Giuliani ad for Scott:
So Charlie Crist uses Bill Clinton to speak as to Crist's attributes.
And Rick Scott uses Rudy Giuliani not to speak as to Rick Scott's attributes, but to tear down Charlie Crist.
Bottom line: Even Rick Scott's own endorsers can't say anything good about the man.

Jeb is far more influential in Florida politics than Rudy. Jeb fawns over Scott pretty hard in this commercial. So Tommy, are you ready for these commercials to end? It has been a brutal barrage of negativity.
