6. "Friends of Charlie Crist."

Guys, this isn't good news. That was how the good buddies would wrap up their propaganda in my sticks of Seminole County. We received letters that were signed, "Friends of so-and-so" and it was paid for and written by the property rights sovereignty lawyers in the community.

Listen, there is no good news where good-buddy lawyers are involved. If they're not part of the sovereignty group, they're the other side of the formula. The chamber of commerce types. Lawyers who believe that there is no line between the private and the public. I had one gadfly tell me horror stories about the city attorney of the time. The lawyer would pass on money to friendlies to donate to their preferred candidates.

Charlie Crist might be the nicest guy ever, but he can't make it to where he wants to go without support from these ranks.
