Crist Must Be Doing Something Right

If conservatives are comparing him to the speaker of the House:

A national conservative group, chaired by former Congressman Dick Armey, has launched a biting campaign that attacks Gov. Charlie Crist and his recent executive orders aimed at reducing greenhouse gasses.

"When people heard Charlie Crist’s promises to follow in the conservative legacy of Jeb Bush and voted for him to be governor of Florida, they didn't expect to get Nancy Pelosi."

FreedomWorks has an online petition (not the kind that would go on the ballot) asking people to tell Gov. Crist to "end his efforts to appease the far left and the liberal media, and should instead work toward reasonable and responsible energy policy that increases supply and reduces prices."

Welcome

This is a new state blog for Florida's cabinet -- governor, commissioner of agriculture and consumer services, attorney general and chief financial officer, only the latter of which is a Democrat. We'd probably include the Lt. governor, but he doesn't do anything with his time other than edit wikis. This site is designed to keep an eye on the activities of the Republicans who misrepresent us in Tallahassee.

If you are interested in posting at Florida Cabinet Watch, drop me a line at quinnelk@hotmail.com with some idea of your Democratic and/or progressive credentials and I'll add you as a blogger.
