This race has gotten very tight. The latest poll has the Republican up by only two points: 49% - 47%. Now, the GOP candidate is blowing off George Bush when he comes to Florida tomorrow:
Republican gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist decided Sunday to skip an appearance with President Bush in favor of crisscrossing the state in the final hours before Election Day.What makes this worse for the GOP is that Bush was going to Florida specifically for Crist:
Crist, the state attorney general, is in a close race with Democratic U.S. Rep. Jim Davis to replace the president's brother, Gov. Jeb Bush, who can't seek re-election because of term limits.
The White House, however, said this week that the president was heading to Florida specifically to help Mr. Crist, who, according to Tony Fratto, a White House spokesman, invited Mr. Bush in the first place.Bush is toxic in Florida.
