I wish him well. It is a shame for Floridians that he lost the election if only for the fact that he would have expanded Medicaid to more uninsured Floridians. I hope he wins the seat, and then comes back as Governor 4-8 years from now, and if he makes a name for himself as a progressive legislator or governor within his new Party, I'd like to see him on a presidential ticket somewhere down the road.
Yeah....no. If you didn't notice, expansion of Medicare this year already caused a massive fracas in the legislature and while Rick Scott admittedly didn't help with his
incredibly stupid hospital funding plan, the primary force in the state stopping expansion of Medicare is actually the House, specifically, the incoming House Speaker who led what he called a "great crusade" against it. Charlie Crist wouldn't be able to act without the legislature and he wouldn't have the spine to fight them anyway. Medicare would fall by the wayside as Crist would negotiate to get some kind of populist goodie to pave the way for a future campaign.
