The Palm Beach Post on the single Governor
Florida's right wingers are in a bit of a pinch. People either don't care much or are not really in a position to fight. The state has a closet case for a governor...not exactly the best guy to lead an amendment effort.
Effort to nix same-sex unions lacks torch carrier:We can win this one, they need 60% of the vote.
To make matters worse, Florida now has a governor that is in no position to champion heterosexual marriage, either.
Three years ago, when the initiative started, Florida had a married governor.
But now we have Charlie Crist, whose one marriage lasted for six months, and who, despite his good looks, position of power and occupancy of a big, empty mansion in Tallahassee, can't seem to land a steady girlfriend.
He's no help at all. And even though he signed a petition to support the same-sex-marriage ban while he was running for office, he says he's not interested in pushing the issue anymore.
'It's not something that moves me,' he said last week."
