charlie crist's afterlife, another story is percolating in the florida press which attention should be paid. for this election, florida republicans cut the days for early voting almost by half. you have seen these pictures of what happened in the election. when the lines stretched from dawn until dawn, florida democrats and the league of women voters asked governor rick scott to extend the time by one day. the governor said no, let the people stand in line. back in 2008 when crist was governor, governor crist extended early voting. he saw the long lines of voters then and extended early voting. it was with a boost from early voting that barack obama won florida and won the white house. the common wisdom is that charlie got purged out for the crime of hugging president obama and supporting the stimulus as good for florida. maybe the story goes further back than that.
