23. The subject is Crist, Scott, education, and where they will have to hitch their wagons.

Doesn't matter where Crist hitches his wagon, he will be all aboard the charter school bus. No subject change, you just don't want to discuss the extremely flawed education policy your candidate of choice goes with. Yeah..... He loves charter schools. 100% on topic. The guy is an enormous flake who is completely behind charter schools and dismantling the public education system. Crist is awful for education and you can't spin it any other way. Your candidate pushes charter schools and you don't think his history is up for debate when discussing his positions on education. Actually, that kind of makes sense. Where he stood yesterday might not be the same position he holds today. Charter school Charlie is about to be shoved down our throats. This is at a time when Florida is ready for a democrat. There won't be a democrat in the upcoming election for the Florida governorship. Just two republicans. It is clear that some in education aren't smart enough to follow Crist and his love for charters. This is awful for Florida. Spin his republican policies any way you must.
