President Obama has a strong record of doing what is best for America and Florida, and he built it by spending more time worrying about what his decisions would mean for the people than for his political fortunes.

I didn't leave the Republican Party. It left me.

I don't want a lot of bureaucracy... I want to run state government the same way we run a campaign - efficient, effective and victorious.

As a former lifelong Republican, it pains me to tell you that today's Republicans - and their standard-bearers, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan - just aren't up to the task. They're beholden to 'my way or the highway' bullies, indebted to billionaires who bankroll ads and allergic to the very idea of compromise.

You can trust Charlie Crist.
