Here in Florida, during our election process; Our Governor Charlie Crist decided he wanted to be our Senator, when Senator Martinez stepped down. His first step towards this process was to appoint someone who had no aspirations to hold on to it.... in other words someone to keep it warm for him (I'm surprised he just didn't appoint himself to the position). This made it so Charlie wouldn't have to run against an incumbent. Then our RINO (Republican In Name Only) Governor, announced his candidacy for the Senate seat. However, a young upstart by the name of Marco Rubio (keep your eye on him), announced his candidacy. During the primary Marco handed Charlie a sound defeat. Now here is where my problem is Charlie, announced he was running for Senator as an independent. Now he has already run as a Republican and lost, and he wants another chance? This is wrong, If someone runs for office and his own party doesn't want him that should be it. If he wants to run again, he must wait until the next election, The story has a happy ending as far as I am concerned. Marco beat Crist, and even if Crist received all the votes the Democrat candidate did, Marco would have still won, since Marco pulled in a majority vote (over 50%). Of course all this would be a moot point if my idea of a general primary where every candidate ran and the top two were our choices during the general election. By the way I am still advocating the number two man (or woman) becomes the Lt Governor, and that they both act not only as Governor and Lt Governor, but as the State's two Senators.
