My dog could run against Scott and win. I would have no problem voting for Charlie again.

Charlie's got the teacher support, that's for damn sure. And of course, he has John Morgan's blessing to govern...for the people

I would vote for him as well. I would have voted for him for Senate in 2010; would have been the first Republican I ever voted for for national office.

Shouldn't have said that, I just eroded support for him.

No possibility of tort reform with Crist. That's just another solution looking for a problem like the current purge of voter rolls.

The guy is an idiot and he can't sidestep the Florida Supreme Court through a veto. This was a mandated program. This could be interesting to say the least.

Even if Scott is unconcerned about his state's history of imprisoning innocent people, his veto could cost Florida taxpayers in the long run. A 2011 study of 85 wrongful convictions in Illinois found that convicting and imprisoning the wrong person cost taxpayers $214 million. The actual perpetrators of those crimes went on to commit dozens of additional felonies, including 14 murders. Assuming the costs are similar in Florida, if the commission prevents just one wrongful conviction, it would fund itself for 12.5 years.
This is what we call penny wise and pound foolish.

Hey, that was a study from Illinois. We all know they pay more there due to their corruption
