The Crist Campaign Week In Review April 5 – April 12

The Crist Campaign continues to move at a rapid pace with new television ads, more endorsements, more local media interviews, and more information being revealed about Speaker Rubio’s REAL record.

Just yesterday, the St. Petersburg Times ranked Governor Crist as the winner of the week in Florida politics stating that he is acting like a true leader at a time when many important issues are facing the state.

Crist Campaign Updates

*MUST WATCH VIDEO* The Crist Campaign released a new television ad titled “Two Politicians.” Watch the ad HERE that shows how Speaker Rubio and Ray Sansom – both insider, career politicians – used public office for their own personal enrichment while engaging in unethical spending. As the ad states: “Marco Rubio – It’s not just what we know, it’s what we don’t know … YET.”

Below is some additional research and recent news articles that show the similarities between Speaker Rubio and his hand-picked budget chief, Ray Sansom:
