Nan Rich on a Scott vs. Crist race: 'Two Republicans' | Naked Politics

Democratic candidate for Governor Nan Rich will be a guest on next Friday's (7/18) High Noon in Lake Worth program. We will talk for a half hour about the state of the Democratic party in the state of Florida, her main campaign points and how she is determined to be our next Governor. Click title for link on her attempts to debate Charlie Christ who she is up against in the primary election.
"We need to make sure we don't have two Republicans running in the gubernatorial election,'' Rich said during a forum that was part of the annual convention of the Florida Press Association and the Florida Society of News Editors at The Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables.
Rich wanted to debate Crist during the press gathering but was rebuffed. During an appearance Thursday, Crist said he needed to stay focused on challenging Republican Gov. Rick Scott and pointed to the massive amounts of money backing Scott's re-election bid.
"I am running against $100 million,'' Crist said. "I really don't have the luxury to take my eye off the ball."
That irked Rich. "People don't run against $100 million,'' she said. "They run against people."
