Our new republican, single, silver haired, tanned, well dressed Florida governor is Charlie Crist. He replaces Jeb Bush (brother of Shrub). I was disappointed that the Democratic candidate lost, but we gotta work with what we've got. He has stated that he wants to be the "people's governor".
It is not unusual for a new governor to enact changes, but Crist is definitely "rustling some feathers" (especially of those who gave a$$i$tance to his campaign). Last Thursday, he announced that he has cancelled all the nominations of 283 persons that ex-governor Bush made for persons to sit on various state boards and regulatory commissions. On Friday, he was pushing for legislation to lower our insurance rates (that have continued to increase dramatically over the last two years). A republican/politician keeping his word? Might he be a democrat in disguise? Visions of an independent thinker?
We did have a sigh of relief in Florida when Jeb was finally out.....can not wait until the country has it's collective sigh of relief when Shrub is out. (It's been stated by several people that Jeb was looking to purchase at a certain building on Miracle Way.)
As a note: When Crist was campaigning, he refused to appear with the increasingly unpopular President Shrub. This did upset some Whitehouse advisors. As another rumor has it, we are secretly waiting for the official Governor's Mansion White Party....

The Official Governor's Masion White Party. I guess I can't come as Marie Antionette, as that is what he will be wearing.
...but I know you can easily upstage him with just your grace presence....
